For Amtrak's 40th Anniversary a number of locomotives received a special version of historic paint schemes. The engines are touring the country in regular service as well as serving on a special museum train that Amtrak put together. The Anniversary locomotives were selected from units scheduled for repainting or recent wreck rebuilds.
Phase I - Amtrak #156
P42 #156 has been painted in a version of Phase I. It features Amtrak's classic "Pointless Arrow" logo on the silver flanks surrounded by the dates 1971 and 2011. Another trade mark of the Phase I scheme is the red "bloody nose" as seen on E-units and EMD SDP40Fs, the first locomotives designed specifically for Amtrak.
