Amtrak rolling stock
Hi Matt,

I'm not sure we can keep track of them like this. ;) They are falling apart faster than we can update the page. A few hours ago the Coast Starlight (11-09) hit a truck trailer in King City CA. (I have no power assignment for this one, so I can't tell which engine was leading, but maybe there are photos out already.) The 92-08 that got smashed by some truck in SC yesterday was led by #172. Needed two CSX units to move that train (then 22 hours late) to Richmond (there is video footage of that on YT already). On the other hand, #71, which was hit on the City of New Orleans last week, is already repaired and got a new nose, so it might return to service as early as tomorrow. So... Maybe we should only count long-time OOS's in the list, such as those which do occur in the roster list after a while... What do you mean? Regards, --Thogo 02:03, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
