Dual mode AMTK 701 is staged south of Rensselaer station. It is waiting to back on to Amtrak 48, the Lake Shore Limited, as the outbound power for the trip from Rensselaer to New York City. It is one of 5 dual modes currently in the new Empire Phase III paint.
The GE Genesis series are well known for being Amtrak's locomotive. With confirmation of retirement from Amtrak themselves, their time is limited. Now is your chance to catch them before the chargers arrive!
