Hustling Across Illinois This is a westbound Amtrak National Limited in Altamont, Illinois. We know we’re on the former Pennsy due to the distinctive signal. That's an EMD F40PH on the point of the train, which means the legacy cars here have been retrofitted for HEP.
As I understand it, F O R D stands for "fix or repair daily". One image by Richard Koenig; taken in February of 1979.
