- Danbury Gets An AEM-7. Not long after midnight on June 7, 2024, former Amtrak AEM-7 917 arrived at The Danbury Railway Museum on Genesee & Wyoming Inc.'s Providence & Worcester Railroad Train CT-2. This brought an almost year long effort to a successful conclusion. This class of locomotive had worked on passenger trains in the Northeast on a daily basis for decades until being retired in June, 2016. Later, it was brought to Davisville, Rhode Island for storage. The final leg of the trip, on the overnight of June 6-7, 2024, brought AMTK 917 to the museum, where it will be cosmetically restored and is already on public display. At the museum, the AEM-7 joins a variety of other electric powered pieces of rail equipment, including FL-9s, M-2s, and the first mainline electric locomotive, New York Central S-1 100.

Amtrak #917 has finally made it to Danbury Railway Museum. She's received a warm welcome home by the volunteers of the Danbury Railway Museum. She will eventually get refurbished though when remains unclear. For now she's gonna be sitting in the yard
I volunteer at the Trolley Museum of New York in Kingston, New York. I will certainly be checking the Danbury Rail Museum soon!
Check it out for sure
I caught it going through the branch at a crossing
Awesome catch
Me and 2 of my friends are in the first clip
Great video!
Is 917 inoperable, because it doesn’t have any lights on.
Great Video. The horn when it was being moved by the Danbury Railway Museum, was that CT-2 on the return trip back down the branch?
Could be? Not sure.
@@RiverRailPhoto I went back and rewatched it, I think it’s the Metro North shuttle coming into Danbury. Unless I’m mistaken I don’t think P&W have Nathan K5LA horns on their B39/40’s.
