Can someone just bring me up to speed just incase you guys had already talked about this. I was in Philly yesterday and was railfanning the parking garage over Race Street Yard and noticed that the 10021 "Pacific Cape" is now painted in Phase III. It used to be Phase IVb, and from what I've been hearing, the Cape came in to the yard yesterday for its first time back from Beach Grove. The 10001 "Beach Grove" is also now in Phase III. Does anyone know what Amtrak's plans are with the Phase III paint scheme and what cars will get it? Besides the Viewliners and some of the Amfleet II's. Thanks guys
Nice! Only question is, why would they make it with the wave logo beside the lettering rather than the logo below the lettering like you see on the Phase V locos?According to some reports the first Viewliner I in Phase IIIb livery has been spotted in Chicago. It is 62043, also sporting the name plate "New River". So the conversion of Viewliner Is to Phase IIIb livery has begun.
I think there was a thread here some time ago where it was said that "Amtrak America" is the new brand of Amtrak's LD services, I guess setting them apart from the NEC and other corridor services-Nice! Only question is, why would they make it with the wave logo beside the lettering rather than the logo below the lettering like you see on the Phase V locos?According to some reports the first Viewliner I in Phase IIIb livery has been spotted in Chicago. It is 62043, also sporting the name plate "New River". So the conversion of Viewliner Is to Phase IIIb livery has begun.
AND why is it now being named Amtrak America instead of just Amtrak?
No, just an equipment move.Is that the cardinal?
Because the jealous European rails want to look like their better run American counterparts? :giggle:AND why is it now being named Amtrak America instead of just Amtrak?

OK, you've got to go all the way back to October 2013 for this one - just a bit more than a year.Yes, I'm on my phone and can't dig it up, but it was about a year or so ago.
That was the Cardnial. Everything ahead of 160 was added at IND.Is that the cardinal?
It was the Cardinal's equipment, CCC1007. They added all of the stuff you see in the picture on top of 51(3) at IND.No, just an equipment move.Is that the cardinal?
