Do the ACS-64 have regular trains that they run on, or is it all a bit random?
Of course it's "Rare"...Don't know which ACS-64 this is, but I'm sharing this video I found because of the face at the end.

When was the photo taken? I would have though #618 would have reached DC earlier this week, but they may have kept it in CHI for a few days.Interesting sight in DC Union Station. If I'm not mistaken, there's an ACS on the CL. I assume it is being moved from Chicago.
As I stated today on the above board, "....and then there were 5." Take your pictures while you can.When was the photo taken?

According to a report on railroad.net, only 6 HHP-8s remain in service. If Siemens is shipping new units every several weeks, the HHP-8s may not be long for active service on Amtrak.
612 has been in revenue service for at least a few weeks. 613 completed test runs but needs a few mods before it enters service. So far, 7 units are approved for any BOS train (except 66 and 67) service.Any reports on 612 or 613 in test runs or actually in service? I remember reading about some problems when they were ferried back east.
Why except 66 and 67?So far, 7 units are approved for any BOS train (except 66 and 67) service.
Thanks for the update. I did not see any reports about #619 being moved from the Sacramento plant, which says that we have reached the point where shipments of new ACS-64s are routine.AMTK 619 is on Amtrak #6(16), and will be arriving in Chicago later today. It came through Batavia, Iowa running four hours and twenty minutes late.
Be honest... What do you think the answer to that question is?Do the HHP-8s still break down constantly?
