How come Amtrak North East Whenever I notice a long
distance train, such as the
Carolinian or the Crescent,
how come their journey starts
out with an electric train and
then changes cabs to a GE
Genesis at D.C. How come the
whole entire route use the GE
Genesis the whole route since
they are capable of third rail
power.
How come GE Genesis trains are
only used on the Empire route
whenever they are departing
from Penn Station?

The Northeast Corridor is electrified with overhead catenary. By using catenary electric locos like the AEM-7/ALP44, HHP-8 and Acela, Amtrak cuts down on diesel emissions and noise through the densely populated NEC corridor. Not all Genesis locomotives can use third-rail power. The majority of Amtrak's Genesis fleet are the P42DC, and they cannot use third rail (P42DC is diesel only). Amtrak only has 20 or so P32AC-DMs, which are the version of the Genesis locos that are third-rail equipped. These are used on trains that run in New York State because diesel power is not allowed in New York tunnels. They can operate anywhere in North America, but Amtrak wants to keep those in New York where they are absolutely required. The only place on Amtrak's routes that are third-rail-equipped is in New York.. Nowhere else in Amtrak's national system do they use 3rd rail (including the NEC, which is overhead catenary only). Hope this helps. |
