Last weekend, Kris and I were running some errands when I got a tip from our friend Dan Cupper that Amtrak no. 42, the eastward Pennsylvanian<\/em> was led by a freshly painted Genesis P42 in the new Amtrak phase VII scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This livery was introduced a few years ago on Amtrak’s Siemens Changer diesels, but those are as rare as hen’s teeth in these parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I stopped at Home Depot near Parkesburg, then timed our arrival at Christiana to coincide with the passage of both east and westbound Pennsylvanians<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owing to the angle of the tracks and the nice old buildings near the line, Christiana is a choice place to catch eastbounds in the early afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these views of the passing train using my Nikon Z7-II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s always neat to catch something in new paint. I wonder how many of the Amtrak Genesis diesels will get this treatment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
