Amtrak P370-10 @ 7:12 westbound reported from the Defect Detector mp CG44.2 Pearl,Mi at 20 axles. IDXT #4617 and 4 cars (2 Verizon Coaches & AmCafé + 1 Verizon Coach)

When did Verizon get outta the phone business and into the passenger car business? Or did Amtrak create hybrid horizon and venture cars? lol

Thanks for catching my typos. It’s “Venture Cars”. I copied and pasted someone else report for amtrak

Hi Tlout, can you see if you can get the engine number on the return trip? They swapped engines yesterday and I’m not sure which one they have now. Do they have any hoppers in tow?

Is 7339 a Dash 8 or CM44AC? I’m asking bc I know some rebuilt AC44s have been getting old Dash 8 numbers otherwise if it is a Dash 8 then it’s an ex Conrail C40-8W. Just asking bc that number caught me off guard a bit lol

Trailing unit of L303 should be 7239**. To answer your question, 7339 and 7239 are both CM44AC, rebuilds to CW44ACs. This photo was taken off the Bangor Cam

Thank you! Had me scared for a minute lol. Although it would be nice if more ex Conrail Dash 8s roamed the system, it’s still good to know their number series in some way is still alive. Good luck to anyone catching L303 and other trains today btw!
