Here's an F40PH type engine I built to go with the Metroliner:

And here's a material handling car (MHC) to put behind the engine:

It's boring looking, but the real car is kind of boring!

Amtrak sure is hurting for money (what is it up to, a $1 billion deficit?).
Nowadays when I see a Amtrak train head through downtown, it has as many as
6 or 7 MHC's and regular boxcars as part of the train.  I guess this is a
way to make money hauling more freight.

Hello Bob, I really like your F40PH! What part(s) did you use to create the cooling fans on top? Robert Powell (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
