| While not as vintage as some of the other units running around the property this weekend, Amtrak 406 is still a cab unit. Built in 1988 for hauling long passenger trains across the US, it was restored to Phase III paint and converted to an NPCU for display with the Amtrak 40th Anniversary train in 2011. It now sees service on the Amtrak Exhibit Train as well as the occasional stint in revenue passenger service on Amtrak trains requiring an NPCU on one end. This weekend it was also one of two Amtrak F40s to appear in this image in the same yard. |
