What a waste. Yes, the machine is old, the metal is rusted, and there is little hope of salvation, but will some manufacturer just make a new fleet with modern engineering principles, but encased in a body based upon this timeless design? The E & F units just epitomise all that was good about railways.

Even in it's sad current condition, this unit looks better than Amtrak's modern styling disasters.

With all the auto makers making 'retro styled' vehicles I would love it to see EMD make a 'retro styled' locomotive, with their streamlined design I would think they would achieve better fuel economy.

At least it is still on track...

It's nice to see one still exists from the Penn Central days.
