Remarks & Notes

Midnight Blue At New England's Rising Star. Hartford Union Station in Hartford, Connecticut was built in 1889 and has continually served the passengers of the region since, subsequently being added to National Register of Historic Places since 1975. On its first revenue run leading after coming to Springfield, Massachusetts the night before with train 146, AMTK 100 leads Train 157 from Springfield, Massachusetts to New Haven, Connecticut on the morning of Sunday, May 16, 2021. In New Haven, it will be removed and replaced by an electric motor that will continue the train's journey to Washington D.C. The engine was painted midnight blue as part of the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Painted Locomotive Program to celebrate "the dedication and commitment of our employees to moving people around the clock and across the nation."
