Presented in 4K - Various shots of Amtrak P42DC #174 in Northern Virginia in early February 2024. Unit 174 is noted as being the first P42DC to wear the new Phase VII (7) paint scheme. Repainted and released from Amtrak's Beech Grove, Indiana shops in late January of 2024, this unit has been hopping around the various Northeast Regional services south of Washington DC as of late.

A very sharp, fresh looking unit and paint scheme, in my opinion. We'll see how well it holds up after due time.

All locations listed in the video.
