So will they also get 3600hp like the CalTrain Locomotives? I guess in New Mexico they wiill need that much power. Say, can these locomotives be used to Pull Amtrak Trains as well? If so, perhaps Amtrak should buy a few, perhaps with a little extra horsepower. See if they can give a Genesis a run for it's money.

caltrain has their engines serviced in LA, several times theres been a caltrain mp36 slapped on the front of the coastal starlight.

minus the above, is there any other info on this new service in N.M.? what kind of coaches are going to be bought? etc?

Standard Bombardier Bi-Levels I believe.
