The HHP-8 is underrated for its new technology back in 1999, it was kind of the basic acela express, having the new break system, testing tilt technology, and overall was a big part in Amtrak history. WIthout learning from the mistakes of the Acela Regional (HHP-8) the Acela Express would not be as safe and due to these early advancements, the Acela Express has not crashed once! the Acela Regional (HHP-8) will always have a place in my heart of one of the most advanced Locomotives in Amtrak history, and i hope this new generation has the same experience as i did with the new ACS-64 Locomotives. Rest in peace Acela Regional, you won't be forgotten.

Couple of items: No. 653 on the F-end had a split-manifold AMERICAN-tuned K-5LA, not a hybrid K-5 like the rest. Also, at first these locomotives were called "Bananas" due to their shape when viewed from broadside. Some clever engineer even went so far as to name them each individually such as "Anna Banana, Diana Banana," etc. But later they were referred to as Hippo's due to "HHP" plus their cab ends reminded one of a hippopotamus.

First time I took Amtrak was from New York penn station to Orlando Florida and the part between New York and Washington was pulled by an hhp-8. I never understood why the didn’t just have Alstom lower the horsepower to limit the wheel slip and replace the trucks to prevent problems that they had and shared with the Acela.

I also heard the HHP-8's had overheating issues. I lived right next to the Northeast corridor/ Penn Line and in the summer it was noticeable that they pulled shorter trains. Could just be summer time has fewer passengers, but word was those hot days were too much for them. The diesels trains didn't seem shorter.

problem with the HHP-8 was it was a lemon within 2 years of service all 15 units were in the shop undergoing traction motor and pantagraph replacement and they overheated. Amtrak retired all of them and handed them over to MARC for rebuild. It was replaced by the Siemens Charger and the ACS-64 City Sprinter also made by Siemens and Bombardier.
