I Found Former AMTK 802 on a Freight Train

[Agent]

On Monday, I caught a Canadian Pacific mixed freight train at Ottumwa, Iowa that happened to have a former Amtrak P40DC getting towed dead in the middle of the train. The ex-AMTK 802 now has LTEX reporting marks. That mark is for Larry's Truck and Electric which is a secondhand locomotive leaser and seller. I saw a couple comments that the 802 was on its way to the locomotive shop at Albia, Iowa. Formerly RELCO Locomotives, that shop was purchased by Wabtec a few years ago not that long before Wabtec went on to by GE Locomotives. Wouldn't be the first time a Genesis engine has been to that shop as there were two Genesis units there when I first stopped outside the shop in 2012 (I don't know why they were there and not Beech Grove come to think of it).

Amazing. I would love to be able to see one you close and go in the cab. The phase IV livery is also probably my favorite

I like the way "Amtrak" is not painted over, but "X"ed out with white paint.
