70 MPH Illinois Central Death Star SD70 Leads Disabled Amtrak City of New Orleans 4-15-2024

Описание к видео 70 MPH Illinois Central Death Star SD70 Leads Disabled Amtrak City of New Orleans 4-15-2024

The locomotives on Amtrak's northbound City of New Orleans had some sort of mechanical or technical problem overnight on April 14, 2024 while traveling through Mississippi. With no other Amtrak units available to take over, Canadian National supplied former Illinois Central "Death Star" SD70 No. 1027, still in original paint, to pull the train the rest of the way to Chicago. This is likely the first (and possibly the last) time an IC-painted locomotive has pulled an Amtrak train since the CN/IC merger in 1999.
