Amtrak FL-9 @ Yonkers.(1996)

In this pre-Genesis era view at Yonkers (Metro-North Hudson Div.) we see an Amtrak train powered by an FL-9 locomotive.

Former Yonkers resident, I was born ‘05 and I can’t believe how familiar the buildings look. I’m pretty sure that the board of education building somewhere because my Tia works there

Crazy, this was right around the time Amtrak began decommissioning the FL9s from their roster with the P32AC-DMs taking their place. I believe the last few were finally retired in 1998.

It’s P32AC-DM

[@1537trainman2]

the 2nd car looks like a phase 4

[@jwhitman2005]

Because it is a phase 4

[@LongIslandCityLayout]

Yup, it's a phase 4. Amtrak didn't really care too much about aesthetics. They often mixed cars and engines of different paint schemes.

[@jamesleopard8518]

I never saw the FL 9 Amtrak locomotive in real life, since I lived in the city when I was little

[@davidwinfield730]
