Remarks & Notes 
A Quiet Night at Redondo Junction

Amtrak Dash 8-40BP 822 arrived in Los Angeles on the point of train #3 on Monday, April 17, 2017. On April 20, the retro-painted engine was still getting serviced on the whiskers around the turntable at Amtrak’s Redondo Junction engine facility. The 822 was delivered from GE in September 1993 wearing the “fading stripe” variation of the Phase III scheme. The Dash 8-40BPs (Amtrak calls them “P40DCs”) were later rebuilt, and repainted into the Phase V scheme (as seen on P42DC 19 on the adjacent track). Engine 822 was selected to power Amtrak’s 40th Anniversary display train, and repainted into the same Phase III scheme (without the fading stripe) as also found on P42DC 145. Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE.

The GE Genesis series are well known for being Amtrak's locomotive. With confirmation of retirement from Amtrak themselves, their time is limited. Now is your chance to catch them before the chargers arrive!

Amtrak & Via Rail, along with commuter trains go here. Also their predecessors. PS. I only like diesels or electric.
