It mentions that the locomotives "are being upgraded to run on Connecticut
tracks." What kind of upgrades are they talking about?

These units were in the Auto Train Pool and later the Intercity Pool.

I saw the thread where Dutch mentioned ACSES or whatever it's called, but I didn't see anything in regard to the additions you just mentioned. So... thanks for filling me in.
