Wonderful shot! You chose the best place to do the right click while the locomotive was brightened from the sun without all the shadows that were behind. ;) Nice one!

And still the dirtiest I've seen, other than photos of them wrecked/on fire... :noes:

Hmm, the number board looks drawn on too. Though it's probably the dirtiest i've seen, I have seen worse damage to them.

I dunno, that font looks the same as the other Genesis units I've seen, though the numbers look like they've been squished closer together than they should be...

I have catching up to do on trashed Amtrak units, that's for sure. Take a look at this one: [link] :noes:

Seen that one before. Can't remember what kind of idiot they hit to make the fire. Although I have also seen the Amtrak derail grom hitting the garbage truck

From the article ([link]), it appears it hit a tractor trailer carrying garbage. I was personally impressed that the engineer apparently got out, uncoupled the consist, and then moved the engine forward. That takes balls.

The great thing about railfanning Amtrak is you never have to wait to long! Great shot!
