#Amtrak

This is #Amtrak 945. Built in La Grange illinois in 1982. This AEM-7 has a top speed of 125 MPH. Amtrak owned 65 of these locomotives affectionately nicknamed "meatballs" because even though they were build in the U.S. they were designed in Sweden. #train #ElectricTrain #illinoisrailwaymuseum #unionillinoisyberLink PowerDirector 21
