On Monday, November 20th, we set out for late-night testing of Amtrak's new ALC-42 locomotives. They would perform their test runs on the Hudson Line for the future replacement of the GE P32AC-DMs. Enjoy!

I like the way they left the lights on in the engine bays. I've never seen that.They look so neat and clean!

I've seen that on other videos of Chargers. Don't have the foggiest idea why they do it. Sort of like a wrist watch with a skeleton back. Cute, but what's the purpose. In fact, why have that open part at all.

Makes them extremely identifiable from afar. I spotted a VIA Charger the other night while approaching a crossing at dusk.

You’ll see these daily when these enter service along the Empire Corridor in 2029 -2030

They have "dual-mode" Chargers? Other than "dual-mode", what is so unique about the Hudson Line that there needs to be testing?

it forms the southern part of Amtrak's "Empire Corridor" as well.

are alc-42's allowed in new york penn or grand central
@samuelitooooo2 ай бұрын
I don't know if they're allowed right now. But the Amtrak Airo trainsets they'll eventually run with will come with the electrification needed so that these ALC-42s run on electric mode without diesel power. I'm pretty sure at that point they will be allowed in Penn and Grand Central.

They are these are just testing on Hudson line so when SC-42dm arrive they'll know what to expect.
