An Amtrak special equipment move through Wilmington, Del., at 6:20 a.m. on Wednesday morning with “Salute to Veterans” ACS-46 No. 642 on the point and two P42 diesels in tow carrying two of Amtrak’s six 50th-anniversary paint schemes — “Midnight Blue” locomotive No. 100, and No. 46, which carries the current paint scheme with large 50th anniversary decals. The diesels are reportedly en route to Philadelphia, where President Joe Biden will take part in an Amtrak 50th anniversary event on Friday.
