Amtrak F40PH # 302 [Audio & Video] 1984-1988

Here are the audio & video recordings I have of AMTK 302. It had a uniquely-fouled K5LA for years, but after the unit was rebuilt it received a new horn. Also unique to 302 is before the rebuild it had all-black side numbers without the white outlines. It is worth noting that when compared with other locomotives from this order, 302 has been a survivor; having served post-Amtrak on NS, NJT, MBTA, and several other railroads.
