The New Look Of Amtrak. While the first Siemens ALC-42 locomotives were delivered in Phase VII paint in 2022, it was not until 2024 that this paint scheme made its way to other parts of the roster. This includes at least one Viewliner and P42 and GP38-3 locomotives, such AMTK 743, seen here on Sunday, July 21, 2024, passing through Chatham, New York on Amtrak Train 1246 (Berkshire Flyer). The summer only Berkshire Flyer service was in its third year of operation, and on the other end is a standard P32AC-DM providing Head End Power (HEP) to the train. This locomotive does not HEP and is only there to facilitate the changing ends in Pittsfield, as such it will be removed before the final leg of the trip to New York Penn Station.
