Built by General Electric Transportation Systems in March 2001 and numbered 156. This series of locomotives, also known as the Genesis Series II locomotives, were an upgraded version of the P40DC. Painted in Amtrak's original Phase I, this unit was the leader of the Exhibit Train when it visited Niagara Falls.
