This scene was photographed from the West Roosevelt Rd bridge looking south in the Metropolitan Chicago area. An outbound Amtrak passenger train has just left Chicago Union Station, and is leaving the windy city with a load of passengers. The diesel locomotive is a newer General Electric P-42 Genesis Series passenger locomotive. This color scheme and logo was introduced around the year 2000, and it is known as the "Acela" Image. Acela translates into "Acceleration and Excelence" according to the people working at Amtrak's public relations department. This is Amtraks "Newest" Image, and is the company standard today.
