Thanks for the Memories: A Farewell to AEM-7

On June 18, 2016, Amtrak said farewell to the AEM-7 electric locomotive on a special excursion trip that included a behind the scenes tour of the Wilmington Shops where the AEM-7s were maintained. This montage provides a look at the events on this historic day for Amtrak, marking the end of an era as state-of-the-art ACS-64 locomotives replace the 37 year veterans as the new workhorse on the Northeast Corridor.
