Photo ID: 105218 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 24, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Grand Junction Grand Junction, CO 1516 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Amtrak I got this picture specifically for the beautiful mesas visible in the distance, west of Grand Junction. It is quite possibly the only time that such a shot will be possible with an ACS-64 (destined to run along the Northeast Corridor) in the foreground.

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.

Once a Missouri Pacific switcher, it is now sitting in storage in Grand Junction. I do not know if UP is waiting to sell (or scrap) this unit, or if it is just a temporary thing.
