Amtrak's new Siemens electric locomotives, The Corridor Sprinter, are becoming quite common. Here's a selection of shots I got of them on my trip up the corridor and back, enroute to and from Montreal, early this month.

nice shots. Its too bad that Amtrak doesn't make an international High speed line to Montreal.
I love those locomotives. It's just a matter of time when someone offers it in O scale.
How close are these to the MTH ALP-46, would you say?
Awesome pictures! I live in Philly, so I see them all the time. I really like the Veterans one.

The closest model would probably be their European Taurus electric. At least the underbody/trucks portion.

Firewood,
ALP46 was made by Bombardier. Amtrak Sprinter was made by Siemens, a competing company. These passenger locomotives might have very few things in common as the competing offerings between GE & EMD for North American freight locomotives. Maybe the couplers & air connection, just enough to operate together but looking nothing like each other.
Also MTH model of the ALP46 was 1:45 scale not 1:48 as for their other Premier Scale models of North American locomotives.
These are just my opinion,
Thanks,
Naveen Rajan
