Was 901 on break-in runs the past couple days? Heard a different horn blowing for Rydal Rd yesterday and today. At first I thought it was CSX coming from Woodbourne in daylight, but then I realized it could be 901 stretching its legs on the West Trenton Line.

Anyone know which train has the 901 this week?
I see SEPTA is running a normal schedule this holiday week. I was thinking of bundling up and venturing out in the cold tomorrow.

Did it travel by rail all the way from Sacramento? That would have been a funny sight to see on a freight train Nebraska.

Any updates on this unit? I would've expected it to be in at least some test runs by now...
You got to believe the Siemens techs are checking out the 901,and training the SEPTA M OF E employees on the basics,
Figure on a few SEPTA Road Foremen getting trained by Amtrak.before any T&E crews start training with 901.

There are two more Siemens Chargers headed east. Photos courtesy of Alex Funderburg. I assume 902 and 903 are already on the property.
