ALC42 Charger & Venture – Amtrak ‘Stellaris Overlord’ (6Cars)
Stellaris Special livery with Diesel configuration
The Siemens Charger is a family of diesel-electric passenger locomotives designed and manufactured by Siemens Mobility for the North American market. There are four models of Chargers: the SC-44 for state-supported inter-city services, the SCB-40 for Brightline inter-city service, the SC-42 for VIA corridor service, and the ALC-42 for Amtrak long distance service.
Amtrak ‘Intercity’ is a recent procurement project launched as a part of infrastructure bill which passed early this year. The plan is to replace all existing rolling stock on East Coast routes with Ventures and phase out Amfleet coaches. New trains are expected to be used on electrified NEC routes as well as non electrified lines. In order to achieve this, new trains will also feature a pantograph/battery car, that will power the train on electrified lines.
‘Amtrak Intercity’ project is planned to enter service in 2027.
‘Overlord’ features painted ALC42 to mark the release of Stellaris Overlord DLC:
