[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 790446, member: 10543"] When I move in close to the damage above the windows, it looks like Bondo or maybe Paint Over Rust paint. I wonder if stone chips and the like have allowed rainwater to seep in and rust away the metal beneath. The window frames are a mess on many of these units as well. Lots of black caulk and bubbled paint here. U.S. freight railroads have many locomotives that are far older than Amtrak's, cared for and often rebuilt multiple times with the latest fuel saving and PTC technology, and looking great. Amtrak always buys new, EMD F-40s, GE P42DCs and now Siemens ALC-42s. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379644._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
