    General Electric Genesis (officially trademarked GENESIS[5]) is a series of passenger diesel locomotives produced by GE Transportation, then a subsidiary of General Electric. Between 1992 and 2001, a total of 321 units were built for Amtrak, Metro-North, and Via Rail.

    The Genesis series of locomotives was designed by General Electric in response to a specification published by Amtrak and ultimately selected over a competing design presented by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD). The Genesis series had the lowest height of any North American diesel-electric locomotives until the introduction of the Siemens Charger. This low height allows the locomotive to travel easily through low-profile tunnels in the Northeast Corridor. The Genesis series is lower than the previous-generation F40PH by 14 inches (356 mm).

    This is not viable and people would just call it a scam. Only runs 2 times. All the resources goes into making all the passenger stock and the train just for it to run very few. People would get really upset since it wouldn't be value for money

    Bring it on and also it works on Boston Providence because during the late nights when the 25kv 60hz wires are under repair P42DCs are sent to run late night sleeper to or From Boston South Station the Night Owl/Twilight Shoreliner trains 65-67. Formation is P42DC lead rear ACS-64 then Amfleet I II Viewliner II Sleeper at the rear

    Not to mention they also run the lake shore limited. However this wouldn’t be driveable
