CSX Q404 towing retired Amtrak equipment up the Lehigh Line

CSX Q404 towing retired Amtrak F40PH's and a single P40DC up the Lehigh Line headed for their new owners at LTEX (minus F40PH No. 409 which is headed for BUGX) in South Plainfield
In June, five retired Amtrak F40PH's and a single P40DC was pulled out of storage in Bear, DE and were sold to LTEX in Ohio, with the exception of No. 409 which was sold to BUGX in California. They were moved up to Millham Interlocking on the Northeast Corridor, between Hamilton and Trenton stations, and moved again to Woodbourne, PA where CSX would take it. They were moved onto Q404 for their journey to LTEX and BUGX.
Consist in order:
- CSX ES44AH 765
- CSX ES44AH 881
- LTEX P40DC 828
- LTEX F40PH 401
- LTEX F40PH 408
- LTEX F40PH 404
- LTEX F40PH 402
- BUGX F40PH 409
Enjoy!

Awesome catch with those former AMTK F40s!! At least 406 is operating here on the Downeaster! It has a Christmas wreath on the nose. -Austin

Rare & Sad at the same time…

Hope they get to a new home safe! Hope they're saved!

Even after their long-dormant time sitting at Bear, they still have a neat look heading at speed.

Makes me wonder why Amtrak didn’t turn the F40s into NPCU's.
