THE LEGACY OF PENN CENTRAL.

The federal government created Amtrak and Conrail to hold the northeastern railroads together in the aftermath of Penn Central going bankrupt and taking almost all the carriers of the Official Region down with them.

It therefore makes sense that among the 50th anniversary commemorative paint jobs being applied to Amtrak diesels will be a nod to the improvised Amtrak blue and pointless arrow applied to an otherwise basic black Penn Central diesel.

There's a pleasantly large level of ferroequinologist tidbits in that video, which is unusual for a government agency that really ought to be bringing proper food service back to the overnight trains.
