MORE ON ENGINE 96 Here is Amtrak 96, which has had two exterior stylings over the period 1997-2023, and is still active in the fleet. The original number board seems to have made it up into the millenium paint era. The restyling took place either in late 2001 or early 2002. As of April 1, 2024, P42's numbered 85-130 are operating on commuter routes in the northeast. Of the 1997-built group, #82, and #95 have the freshest paint along with #103, #104, and #118. Engine #90 is shopped at Beech Grove, and may be receiving some new paint as well. Engines up to #98 were in the first 1996/97 Amtrak Genesis order from the GE Transportation Division at Erie, Pennsylvania. Engine #91 is stored dead at Beech Grove...a result of an Empire Builder incident on November 23, 2015, The others were still rostered as of 2024. Serial numbers for 90-99 are 49628 through 49636 and 49951, with a break between #98 and #99. Here are 2023-2024 reports for #96. It may work the Lakeshore Limited at any given time, and sometimes south of Washington DC on Virginia regionals. Otherwise, it stays pretty much around Philly, New Haven, Boston, or Rensselaer. To track a particular train's history, you can go to Dixieland Software and the transitdocs.com website. Train assignments are the date(s) that a diesel was employed. In the northeast, electrics are switched on an off trains at various points. GPS plots for current and archival trains can be found at asm/transitdocs.com. That will give you the exact dates, times, and places for a past train. #96 - Serial 49634(June 1997). Carolinian train 79 of February 5, 2023. Cardinal train 40 February 21, 2023.
