The great folks at Amtrak's heavy maintenance facility at Beech Grove, IN were the ones who painted up these locomotives
in this very nice Phase III paint for the Exhibit Train!
This decal is on the side of both of the locomotives! |

| Maybe it's just me, but an F40 in Phase III paint looks just plain AWESOME on the head end of an Amtrak Train!!! |

This is not a joke! A wedding party showed up at the Exhibit Train for outdoor pictures! I thought, that groom must be the
happiest railfan on earth! It turns out neither the bride nor groom were railfans, rather they knew the train was there and
thought it would be cool to have pictures taken with it!
