    Tours / Exhibits

    40th Anniversary Tour

    My friend Gordon Payne reports: "These three snapshots show a Genesis loco wearing Amtrak's Phase I scheme in New Orleans during Amtrak's 40th anniversary tour, January 29, 2012. A former F40PH is behind it, followed by a sleeper for the crew and some Amfleet cars full of exhibits. James and I were lucky enough to meet a young Amtrak employee who had designed the paint scheme for the commemorative HO models. We got the models and asked him to autograph the boxes for us."

    Celebrate the Century Express — The United States Postal Train

    The U. S. Postal Service special Celebrate the Century Express train took a two-year tour of the nation from 1999 to the fall of 2000. The paint scheme adorned the outside an Amtrak P42DC locomotive #100, a baggage car, and an Amfleet car with a modified interior. This scheme consisted of a very elaborate collection of enlarged stamps and postmarks from the 1900s to the 1990s. It is pictured here at the North Carolina Transportation Museum with the business car Georgia.
