New Amtrak Catenary Geometry Car?!

Thank you for the pictures. The actual catenary inspection car 10005 was supposed to show up, but couldn't make it unfortunately. Hopefully, we'll get an interior glimpse of it soon.

Thanks Bob, I had the privilege to tour it as well. It was cool to be able to go inside of it at train day after hearing about the new cars a few years ago at train day.

Just released from Bear and currently at Race St.

*NOT MY PHOTOS (a friend's)

no pantograph just electronic gear to scan wire?

10005 was coupled to V II bag ,nice job of plating over the cab and doors on the A end.

Wow, nice. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Might have already been done, if this was one of the "Michigan coaches" as previously reported. Looks really sharp! I love to see the Budd Metroliners living on in some form.

This is by far the ugliest car I have ever seen.

I think photo opportunities will exist for this elusive car in the near future.

Bring the junk camera, this things so ugly it might break the lens.

Last night it went west alone behind an engine towards philly.

Maybe they made it better looking since we last saw it. At any rate, today is the day to find out. Video is appreciated.

Pictures on the FaceBooks.

ThirdRail7, I had no choice but to do the Mets today because it ran behind 83. Had it been on the "normal" test schedule I would've chase it.
