What is the reliability (kilometres between adverse 'failure' incidents) for each of Amtrak's classes of diesel or electric mainline locomotives such as its P42DC, fleet numbers #-1-207?
Of the diesels, do the crews prefer a particular class?
Are the locos ever swapped between depots or do they tend to be, except when requiring a major overhaul, captive at a particular base such as Chicago or Los Angeles?
Does Amtrak typically have a spare loco at depots near stations such as New Orleans, Portland, Seattle or Tampa in case one engine becomes unserviceable?
