Amtrak (AMTK) 140 - GE P42DC

This was a pleasant surprise, I had no clue this unit was even coming. Also, A P42 duo in 2026 is getting kind of rare, dark times...

A 9 hour late Southwest Chief #4 flies past Cow Palace Road as it nears the Newton station. My first ever Phase 7 trails second.

AMTK 140 brings the Texas Eagle into Dallas.

Amtrak 4, the Southwest Chief, was right behind the California Zephyr, so I moved back to the station to watch them do their station stop. Nothing too special leading 4 that day, but look at all those bug splatters on the front of the locomotive. A sure sign that it is summer. It definitely could use a wash once it gets to Chicago.

Amtrak 140 crosses Maitland Avenue with the morning Silver Star.

Amtrak 140 enters Altamonte Springs with the morning Silver Star.

Having received the clear signal to proceed, the Hoosier State heads forward toward the CN tracks it will take west for a short distance.
