I can confirm that one of the 6 trainsets in Philadelphia wasn’t there on April 1… assume it must be out and about.
It got caught in a video off "DJ Hammers Trains" Youtube channel.
Next stop, Willoughby

Evidently the (a?) trainset has been in Boston from 4/1 and has returned.
I've been intensely listening to the radio for a few months and I thought I should start sharing when I hear KP2022 is out. Some nights it's just the CETC 8 dispatcher saying one single message.
Spotted on April 18th. Heard on radio as KP2022 at 11:08PM so that's a back-and-forth test between County and Ham and not a relocation move.

9:09:41PM Requested move west from Delco
10:42:03PM Received protection 4 track County to Delco
10:52:57PM Cleared up protection on 4 track, received protection 2 track Adams to County
11:03:07PM Cleared up protection on 2 track, started preparing to move west from Delco

KP2022 is out again tonight, April 22nd. CETC 8 needed a call at 10:34PM before it returned [west].
The Set is still in Boston

Any idea if they're testing different sets as KP2022? It would be amazing to see every single set tested on the racetrack multiple times.
Regular update... this was last night's radio traffic since it wasn't complete when I last posted.
4/22 night - 4/23 morning radio log (New Jersey - KP2022 Acela II test train - County to Ham)
10:34PM CETC-8 needed a call with KP2022 before turning back east
11:08PM CETC-8 asked KP2022 if dispatcher could drop signal at County
1:19AM CETC-8 said CETC-7 is "checking on something" before "giving the signal"
Over 4 hours of testing last night, assuming they began at the regular 9PM.
Radio night of 4/23
11:20PM - #3742 asked dispatcher if KP2022 was holding up departure from Jersey Ave. #3742 is the 11:34PM from Jersey Ave. It deadheads to Newark Airport and is allowed to depart its origin early. I could not clearly hear CETC 8's response as the dispatcher used a "far" transmitter, probably in Princeton or Hamilton. There's some sort of radio zone system.
