@@utahrailfan1946from what I got from Amtrak once more Chargers get broken into all remaining P42s will get the Phase VII scheme. The heritage units and P40s will not get the Phase VII.
Actually looks amazing! Another thing I’d like to point out is that they actually put in the model designation, which is something I’ve never seen on any Amtrak locomotives.
Phase VII looks good on the Genesis. That sleeping car also looks to be one fresh out of storage. Both very shiny and clean. 174 has been assigned to the Capitol Limited
I would love to see more of these Phase VII P42s. They wear it better than the Chargers! Good sign that they might stick around for longer than expected.
Yup! P42s built in the 2000s were selected to stick around longer while we wait for Airo train sets, I read something that said we should expect 82 and 106 to wear the scheme in the coming weeks
This actually isn’t a heritage. From now on Amtrak will be painting its equipment into this Phase VII paint scheme. More P42s that are not being retired will be getting this scheme.
Interesting., this looks like two different trains running together. The phase 7 and California cars and superliners. Then the Cardinal. What was the first set?
174 apparently looks like this because she was next in line at Beech Grove shops, and they simply ran out of Phase V paint and had Phase VII materials on hand. A worker confirmed it
I heard from workers that they are actually going to be repainting all Remaining P42s to the new paint scheme from now on! They have another almost finished and one waiting!
@@frankf.addison1522 good, phase V is nothing to go out of my way for and nothing to look at, the only Grey Diesels that are cool looking are the SP bloody nose units
They’ll probably stick around on intercity routes since the ALCs are for long distance. After Airos come in, they might even stay as extra power or rescue units.
Great video! I personally like the old paint scheme better, but this isn't terrible. At least it'll give some variety to my chasing when they start to run on the builder.
How can you like that old disgusting tasteless phase vomit scheme? It has no class, no style and barely any color, I’m overjoyed that eyesore of a scheme is going away, they made our passenger trains look atrocious.
@@betterl8thannvr Disagreed, the old scheme looks awful, it makes American Passenger Trains look outdated, this new scheme gives Amtrak style again, you do you but phase V is not only my most hated Amtrak Scheme but my most hated Railroad scheme overall! It’s about time Amtrak rebranded themselves as flashy! We have no excuse not to have flashy trains, the rest of the world has awesome trains and we should too, and this is another step in that direction
Amtrak has a facility in Beech Grove right by Indianapolis so it’s possible they attached the locomotive and passenger car to the consist for until they got to Indianapolis. That’s my guess anyway
I have to say, the P42’s actually look kinda cool with the new scheme.
Sadly, that's the only one that will receive that scheme.
Heritage units has this P42 trackable because it’s the only one wearing phase VII, but they stated it will be delisted if other P42’s get this scheme.
@@utahrailfan1946from what I got from Amtrak once more Chargers get broken into all remaining P42s will get the Phase VII scheme. The heritage units and P40s will not get the Phase VII.
@@trume12So it sounds like they'll be running the P42's for a little longer. That's nice.
for some reason my friends hate it, they love phase VI but as soon as they add stripes and another blue they hate it. I love it tho!
Actually looks amazing! Another thing I’d like to point out is that they actually put in the model designation, which is something I’ve never seen on any Amtrak locomotives.
The ALC-42s have the model numbers as well. I think it’s becoming a part of Amtrak’s scheme now.
@@banksrail oh yeah I forgot about those, along with the SC-44s and ACS-64s
That looks fantastic! It really improves Amtrak’s image
Phase VII looks good on the Genesis. That sleeping car also looks to be one fresh out of storage. Both very shiny and clean. 174 has been assigned to the Capitol Limited
The Genesis loco looks stunning in the Phase 7 paint scheme !
I would love to see more of these Phase VII P42s. They wear it better than the Chargers! Good sign that they might stick around for longer than expected.

YES! MY WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED! Phase 7 looks stellar on these!
Nice Amtrak 174 Phase7 paint!
i thought this was WDTX 1402 when i first saw it lol
Funny enough, he did make an edit of a p42 in phase 7
@@railfangarrett6313this P42DC is a Solid 10 out of 10
Pretty sure video can’t be photoshopped, lol
@@IronHorsefan1869 i saw the thumbnail and that's what my mind thought of, i didn't think the thumbnail was actually a still shot of a video.
@@gamingwithlukeJToH Either way I'm happy they're doing this
Yoo thats amazing the best amtrak p42 ive ever seen with the Alc-42 phase 7 paint scheme
Awesome shot of Amtrak 174 p42dc in the phase 7 paint. New subscriber
Phase 7 looks amazing! I can’t wait to see more of it!
What a hodgepodge of railcar mixed consists!!!
I heard rumors of this unit but didn’t believe until I got a notification for this video lmao
No way am I seeing this?!?! Great shot!
it may lead tomorrows P030
That looks so good! I hope they keep the P42s and paint some more into this!
You’ll be happy to hear that more are on the way with this paint!
Beautiful new look
Ok that’s actually looks so awesome
Nicely done Larry!
HOLY SHIT, I didn’t know Amtrak painted a unit like that! WOW!!!
More will be painted like it!
I really hope I could see at least one on the Coast Starlight or Empire Builder
AWESOME paint scheme
Sweet mother of Monicuque Diesels ! He's looks Amazingly Beautiful!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😱😱😱😱😱😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Great heritage catch and nice video

@@IronHorsefan1869 Figured as much, they stopped ordering Phase V materials altogether

Wow, Amtrak P42DC 174 looks great like all the other ALC-42 Chargers
That phase 7 scheme looks great on the Genisis!
I love it!!
Awesome! Front two cars being dropped off at Beech Grove?
It looks awesome looking
Nice hybrid K5LA!
Permission to use a screenshot of this footage for my railway news series, the Pensyfan Periodical? I will give you credit in the video.
I really enjoy the periodical, I’m gonna try to start my own news series
Is that a solenoid valve horn? Not sure I've heard ANYTHING like that before!
P42s have a 2 step solenoid. 1st step is half blast and 2nd step is full blast. The ALC-42s have them too.
@@TommyBNSFyup
LOOKING GOOD
Yooo that looks sick 👀💯
New chance at longer life for the P42s?
They’ll probably stick around on intercity routes since the ALCs are for long distance. After Airos come in, they might even stay as extra power or rescue units.
@@MrMarshmallow26 far from the case SC-44s took over most of the intercity trains
They will being staying on other routes without Chargers from what I heard. Otherwise this paint scheme is useless.
@@davidng2336 here in Michigan P42s weren’t the main locomotives for over five years.
@@carlyrembowski9717 but on the Downeaster, Chargers have yet to make an appearance.
Woah! Awesome!!
The fact that there’s a surfliner car in illinois
Oh that came out of Beech Grove and is being transported back to Southern California via Long Distance Amtrak trains
@@Rohrbach00 So they’re rebuilding the Surfliner cars?
@@IronHorsefan1869I believe it’s an interior refurbishment project rather than a rebuild
@@AmtrakandAWVRFan I figured, but given the current wear of the surfs they need a rebuild
@@IronHorsefan1869im pretty sure it was there because it had to get its bell fixed
It looks great
how recently did they paint this?
I'm thinking that Surfliner and Superliner may be getting deadheaded to Beech Grove
Opposite. They were coming from Beech Grove.
I actually prefer the new paint scheme on the P42’s
Why is there a Surfliner car on the Cardinal?
Bc it’s going to beech grove shops in Indianapolis
Why is no one asking about 174's cars?
174 and the first 2 cars behind it were deadheading from Beech Grove back to Chicago. Everything else behind that is the normal Cardinal consist.
Nice video!
Nice
What’s a Surfliner cabcar doing here?
Most likely, on its way back to California.
Off to Beech Grove!
Nice catch
Awesome video!
None of you are mentioning the Surfliner cab car.
It’s going to beech grove shops in indianapolis

Sounds like the P42 veterans unit

Beautiful K5LA horn on 174!
*Cool Scheme!*
Yo!!!
What a weird consist
Amtrak has a facility in Beech Grove right by Indianapolis so it’s possible they attached the locomotive and passenger car to the consist for until they got to Indianapolis. That’s my guess anyway
WTF?!?
Better than that disgusting phase V trash.
@@TrainsAreReallyCool I heard from an Amtrak worker that that’s not Gonna be the case, good thing too because I’d be so pissed.
