MORE ON AMTRAK LOCOMOTIVE 139
Here is road number 139 from the 2000/2001 Amtrak Genesis order from the GE Transportation Division at Erie, Pennsylvania. This group of ten has a unit that will not come back (#133). In the past it might have been rebuilt (such as 131 was after a 2001 Texas Eagle wreck believed to be due to a track washout), but likely not #133 with the current order of Chargers replacing them. Engine #139 remains quite active as of April 2025.
Serial numbers for 130-139 represent the first group of ten that were all delivered originally in wide skirt band millenium paint. During 2004 or early 2004 they started being converted over to low skirt bluenose. Amtrak's new logo appeared three times on the flanks. The first to be repainted were 132 135 138 and 139. Two of the side logos disappeared. Later on, steel noses were changed to the bolt-on variety. That process was mostly very gradual, ending up taking about 15 years.
Here are reports for #139. To track a particular train's history, you can go to Dixieland Software and the asm. transitdocs.com website.
Not all movements were necessarily captured and there can be errors. The train number is listed with the sighting date. We are gradually moving older reports over to individual unit pages in a process that may take a while.
Serial numbers for 130-139 represent the first group of ten that were all delivered originally in high skirt millenium paint. During 2004 or early 2004 they started being converted over to low skirt bluenose.
