The ACS-64 is a "cool" item upon close inspection - especially the pantographs. They pull eight-car trains of Amfleet 1 (Phase 4) passenger cars along the Northeast Corridor. Reservations for these cars are now being taken on the Sunset's Golden Gate Depot website.

I like the ACS-64. I photographed my first one in 2014 and every York, I manage to catch one or more. They also ride well compared to the HHP-8s that were rough pullers. Worse than the E60 as I recall.
Amfleets cars are reserving slow. I would encourage anyone interested in Amtrak to place an order. I have some on pre-order, but in Phase III which is the era I prefer in Amtrak.

The GGD Amfleet cars might be reserving more quickly if Sunset/3rd Rail would offer the ACS-64 locomotive to go with them.
