In the 1990s, Amtrak developed a variation on its Phase 3 paint scheme that it applied to the its fleet of GE B32-8BWH. The design and colors led railfans to adopt the nickname "Pepsi Can" for the scheme. Amtrak has applied a heritage version of the scheme on P42DC #160, leading the train toward Tunnel 1 this morning.
