The only reason this one was possible was because the unit had just been manufactured and was on enroute to the Northeast Corridor where it will be used. If you live along the Northeast Corridor, you'll be getting used to these units very soon. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The units will replace the aging AEM-7s and have already replaced the (relatively young) HHP-8s. Since these are manufactured in California, they travel from California to Chicago via the California Zephyr. From there, they will continue on to the Northeast to enter service.
