Description
The General Electric P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada with Amtrak utilizing it in a majority of their revenue service. See Tracks? Think Train! These words are the slogan of Operation Lifesaver, a rail safety education program seeking to educate people about rail safety and reduce railroad-related collisions, deaths, and injuries across the United States. They partnered with Amtrak in 2022 to create this special paint scheme to celebrate their own 50th Anniversary, striking in its high-visibility black and yellow colors.
