Here's the breakdown:
There will be 26 six-car catenary-diesel dual-power trainsets that will include an Auxiliary Power Vehicle (APV). The APV will be the trailer car closest to the locomotive and will include a pantograph, transformers and a powered truck. In electrified territory, the APV will draw power from overhead lines, which will be fed to the powered truck and the traction motors in the locomotive. These trainsets will be used on the
Carolinian,
Downeaster,
Keystone Service,
Palmetto,
Pennsylvanian and
Vermonter.
There will also be 24 eight-car catenary-diesel dual-power trainsets, similarly configured, for use on
Northeast Regional trains including through trains to Virginia and Springfield, Massachusetts. Amtrak has options to purchase up to eight additional eight-car catenary-diesel dual-power trainsets.
Amtrak will also purchase 15 six-car battery-diesel hybrid trainsets, where the trailer car closest to the locomotive will supply electricity to traction motors in the locomotive when operating around New York Penn Station, eliminating the need for third rail propulsion on the
Adirondack,
Empire Service,
Ethan Allen Express and
Maple Leaf. Amtrak has options to purchase up to two additional six-car battery-diesel hybrid trainsets.
