HHP-8s?

[AmtrakCrescent20]

Is there any pattern as to which trains have the HHP-8s? On RP.net, it seems that the Crescent always has 1-2 AEM-7s, while the Silver Star/Meteor always have an HHP-8.

Is this true?

Thanks for any replies..

It may just be the rotation that the engines are in. There really is no rhyme or reason to whether a train has an HHP-8 or AEM-7, they both do the same job, and are equally capable.

What B-51 said is def. correct. Actually, to be truthfully, there was a very long spell there where the Crescent, both #19/20 NEVER got the HHP-8's. It has to do with where the engines are, and whether or not they are available.
