Amtrak's Southwest Chief took on diesel fuel from a tanker truck during a station stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in March of 2002. |
All fueled up and ready to go, the diesel locomotives basked in the Albuquerque sunshine while waiting the signal to depart. |
This model of diesel locomotive is a
General Electric P-42.
It was built specifically for passenger service. It is often referred to as a "Genesis" locomotive. |
This new Amtrak logo was adopted at the same time as the blue-and-silver Acela paint scheme. |
