LOTS of Horn on Amtrak 53 on P351 Arriving and Departing RO!

I heard that Amtrak 53 was leading 352 last night so it was more than likely going to lead 351 this morning. And sure enough, it indeed was. This was at 605am. You can see that the engineer got off for a minute. I believe it was to adjust the air hose at the very front. This train also had 6 passenger cars.
These used to be the regular units on Amtrak in Michigan. But then about 5 years ago, they brought in these new locos called Chargers. From a company called Siemens. They look nice in my opinion and are very quiet but these days, it’s hard to pass up the loud nostalgia of these Genesis units!

Awesome to see a P42 leader in 2024. Hope to see this some time

There’s been one on the 352/351 rotation for a little while now.

Expect to see more of them. The Chargers started out poor and are only getting worse - 53 was the protect engine stationed in Pontiac in case they couldn’t start the Charger.

Completely unnecessary noise, pollution
