Amtrak Testing New Chargers in Michigan

Amtrak has been testing two new Charger locomotives in Michigan this week.

The locomotives, ALC-42 units built by Siemens, will eventually replace P42DC locomotives in Amtrak’s national network.

They are similar to SC-44 Chargers that have been in use on corridor trains in the Midwest for more than three years.

A photograph posted on the website of Trains magazine indicated that Nos. 301 and 300 are being tested on the route of Amtrak’s Wolverine Service during nighttime hours.
