The "stripe" style paint schemes would be used on AMTRAK PAINT SCHEMES Amtrak for many more years. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

    ® HO-SCALE COUPLER CONVERSION LIST 7-8-21 The Coupler People Most of the below listings have conversion drawing and instructions on our web site at www.kadee.com/hocc.htm Newer models that have factory installed knuckle couplers are easily converted by using our standard head #148 or scale head #158 Whisker® Couplers. Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

  • 54 March/April 2012 Travel Had Finally Been Extinguished with the Coming of Amtrak the Year Before - in Chicago 77 of the Remaining 121 Trains Were Cut at a Stroke
    Chicago Railroading in a Dark Era at the end of a Golden Age Text & Photographs – David Pawson In 1973 I left the UK, newly married, on a Fulbright Scholarship, to do research at Northwestern University, Evanston, a town about 10 miles north of central Chicago on the lakefront. With plenty of other interests going on, I’m not sure I was even aware that Chicago has good claim to be the ‘Railroad Capital of the World’, nor that I knew much more than the commonplace about American railroads. There had been an article in the 1972 ‘Railway World’ about the high speed steam hauled expresses of the Milwaukee Road (MILW), and this must have registered, as I remember a slight frisson as we crossed their path at a crossing marked ‘Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul and Pacific’ on the way from the airport to our new home. Amongst the first things you need in a new location is to figure out transport options, and local geography. Evanston is connected to Chicago both by the ‘El’ – the elevated, electrified suburban railway1, and commuter services on the Chicago and North Western’s (CNW) former passenger main to Milwaukee2. Purchase of a ‘Chicagoland’ map revealed a city criss-crossed by other railroads3, and a copy of ‘Train Watchers Guide to Chicago’ gave directions to and activities at all the major railroad intersections, as well as a potted history of the routes and services of the 14 major railroads plus local connections. So, all was set up to explore. Westbound Rock Island trailer train at Joliet, Illinois, led by EMD FP7 406.
