MORE ON LOCOMOTIVE 76 Here is #76 from the 1996/97 Amtrak Genesis order from the GE Transportation Division at Erie, Pennsylvania. All of Amtrak's starting fleet of 207 P42's have suffered injuries, many of them over and over again. The 70's group had a loss to fire in 2011, as #70 burned while serving on the Lakeshore Limited. Engine #73 has now been out of service for years, sitting at Beech Grove with obvious scratches and tears down the engineers side. It is not known whether it can or will be brought back to active duty. It was the trailing unit behind #58 on the Coast Starlite March 18, 2021 when a contractor left a bobtruck too close to the tracks. A collision and fire ensued. Also missing in action in 2023 is #79 which has not run in 2023. In June 2023, #74 also was damaged by a truck on the Coast Starlight, running behind Charger unit #300. Its future is unknown. Serial numbers for 70-79 are between 49608 and 49617. Build dates were March and April 1997. After delivery in the 1993 style paint, all were eventually refurbished into 2000 millennial livery. Road numbers 75 and 77 first received northeastern 1998 varient, all the rest going directly into low shirt millennium paint during 2002. Both #75 and #76 had early repainting due to wreck damage (the latter due to a derailment and overturn). Nose cones were all changed to the bolt-on variety by the end of the decade. Here are 2023-2024 movements for #76, which remained active as of November 2024. However, it was set out at Las Vegas, New Mexico in November after a vehicle strike on train 3. Not all movements were necessarily captured. There also could be errors in the reports. The train number is listed with the sighting date following the hyphen. #76 - Serial 49614(April 1997): January 2022 - Denver, Ski Train January 12 through January 20, 2022.
