84 As part of an experiment the 84 and 115 were painted into a special Toyota Tundra paint scheme, the experiment was only supposed to last a couple of months, but luckily for me they remained in it a little bit longer, this was the only time I caught a glimpse of the 84, so I took advantage of the situation as you can tell.

 

The 84 primarily worked Silver Service during the experiment, but also appeared on the Capitol Ltd, Texas Eagle, City of New Orleans, Sunset Ltd, Southwest Chief, and a few others.

 

The 115 primarily was found over on the Texas Eagle, but floated a little bit like the 84, the choice of the 115 was usual since it's part of the Amtrak West Fleet that works the Coast Starlight, Surfliners 798/799, and pinch hits on Amtrak California Captiols and San Jaoquin Service.

 

Surprisingly it looks as though the Tundra on either side was hand painted, not a wrap as many expected. The paint didn't stand up too well to the acid in Amtrak's car was, as you can see on the Engineers side of the train. 

 

Both Engines were eventually repainted at Redondo in Los Angeles, the 115 was restored to Phase Vb and put back in the Amtrak West pool, the 84 was repainted into Phase Vb from its original Va
