AMTRAK X995

Swedish built electric locomotive arrived in July 1976 for extensive testing in the New York-Washington, D.C. corridor. Smaller and lighter than comparable locomotives, X995 has been successfully tested in mainline revenue service as well as controlled conditions such as high speed 125mph test. Shown in Washington, D.C. on October 31, 1976, the locomotive is expected to be returned to Sweden upon completion of all tests.
