Amtrak ACS-64 Sprinter Discussion

Which diagram is the most likely to have an ACS-64 on it to and from D.C.? I haven't seen or heard any sign of an ACS-64 making it to a Union Station in regular service yet.

I'm not sure what you mean by diagram but there are no ACS-64s in regular service at this time. You have the 605 in Ivy City for training purposes and the 600 was just down there for certification runs earlier this week.

There is a test scheduled for the week after Thanksgiving. After that, I believe the certifications runs should be completed. The FRA has to sign off and away we go. I think they should wait and finish some of the mods first, but that wouldn't make things fun.

It appears the 601 is finally leaving Pueblo.

So far do we have #600, 603, 604 and 605 on the property and 606 enroute?

Don't forget 602.

The 604 is in DC.

601 has departed Pueblo and should arrive on the east coast today or tomorrow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

And I'm feeling like a kid peeking under the tree. LOL.

605 still in Boston

Is anything coupled with it or solo

Here's a link to a directory with a deposit of ACS photos that I don't think have been shared here yet. Some of them are pretty interesting:

solo when I saw her

Whichever unit was supposed to run on the first revenue run from Boston is or was on its way to Wilmington for repairs. The main circuit breaker will not close. This is supposedly why the first revenue run did not take place.

....I don't know how true this is. This is simply what I've been told....

Is it being towed by electric or diesel
