    Our Amtrak Equipment

    Our Amtrak Equipment In honor of Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary, we have decorated all of the Museum’s former Amtrak equipment with ribbons and numbered signs. When you see one of those signs, follow this guide to learn about their history and Amtrak service. When you see a QR code on one of the pieces, scan it to see photos of it in action. 1. Exhibit Case. Second Floor Gallery. This exhibit case, near the Broad Street Station exhibit, contains several early Amtrak uniforms, photos, dishware and other memorabilia. 2. GG1 No. 4935. Track 3 East. The GG1s are forever linked to the image of the Pennsylvania Railroad at the height of its power, but they continued to serve for many years after the demise of the railroad that built them. Amtrak received many of them, including this locomotive, No. 4935. Some were repainted in a unique Amtrak silver, blue and red scheme, but most remained in Penn Central black. In 1977, Amtrak chose to repaint No. 4935 into the PRR’s Brunswick green and yellow scheme as an early “heritage unit.” It was revealed to the public at a ceremony in Washington, DC’s Union Station on May 14 of that year with the GG1’s original streamlining and paint scheme designer Raymond Loewy in attendance. In that same year, No. 4935 also pulled the last ever Railway Post Office train in the United States, between New York and Washington, DC. 3. E44 No. 4465. Track 3 East. E44s, often called “Bricks” were the last class of electric locomotive built for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

    AMTRAK ANSWERS BIKE QUESTIONS Back in March we asked our members and supporters if they had any questions about bike service on Amtrak. And Wow, did you have questions. We got hundreds and hundreds of questions! We worked with Amtrak staff to try and cut out duplicates, but left in most of the questions regarding specific routes. These answers are broken into a couple different topics including: What bike types and sizes are allowed on Amtrak trains……………………..……….…… .2 What is the cost of bringing your bike on Amtrak……………………………….………………5 Questions on reservations and first come/first serve…………………….….…………...…. .6 Questions on specific lines Mid-West……………………………………………………………………………..…………………7 Northeast………………………………………………………………………………………...……..9 South East……………………………………………………………………………………...……..15 West…………………………………………………………………………………………..…………17 West Coast……………………………………………………………………………………………19 Questions on boarding and safety of bikes on train…………………………………………...24 General questions (about service, uneven rules, coordinating with transit, etc. …26 (The topic break down is subjective so if you don’t see your question you may want to skim the other areas as well) If we still haven’t answered your questions, don’t worry! The League of American Bicyclists will be hosting a webinar with Amtrak staff later this summer where we can answer your questions live. Thank you again for your interest and your questions! Caron Whitaker Director, Bike Walk Action [email protected] [email protected] 1 QUESTIONS ON BIKE TYPES/ SIZES ALLOWED ON AMTRAK What size bikes are allowed on Amtrak Amtrak accepts only standard size bicycles with the following dimensions/parameters: Standard bikes: Weight max - 50lbs; 70" x 41" x 8.5"; Max tire width 2"; Folding bikes: 34" x 15" x 48" (860 x 380 x 1120 mm) This is mainly for three reasons: 1) we know we can safely and reliably accept and handle bicycles at this weight/size wherever bicycle space is available for sale per space constraints on our eQuipment as well as what our bike racks can accommodate.
