Amtrak 50th anniversary (midnight blue) P42DC #100 with Tsunami2
Amtrak's five commemorative 50th Anniversary P42 locomotives were created to celebrate 50 years as America's Railroad®, each with a different design. The lineup includes old favorites (Phase I and Dash 8 Phase III), a present day (Phase V) and two new designs (Midnight Blue and Phase VI). Athearn is working closely with Amtrak to authentically replicate each of these special liveries that will be operating across their system.
