The third of Amtrak's specially-painted "Salutes Our Veterans" locomotives* brings up the rear of Pacific Surfliner 765. Accelerating out of the Burbank Airport station, the train is heading to Goleta, having departed Los Angeles about 30 minutes earlier. (Burbank, California – November 22, 2015)
(* - 90208 is not actually a locomotive, but was built as Amtrak F40PH 208. When it because surplus due to newer locomotive deliveries, it was rebuilt into a non-powered cab car with a baggage compartment added to it. 90208 joins the two other Veterans' units: P42DC 42 and ACS-64 642.)
Postscript: Amtrak NPCU 90208 was leading a Surfliner and struck a forklift that was doing some work near the mainline in southern Orange County on August 15, 2019. It has never been repaired.
Displays of American pride, and spirit! Equipment painted Red, White, and Blue! With an honored salute and tribute to our veterans and troops added too! Patriots can still be found to join this gathering of Patriotic Pride!
