Amtrak Motive Power Transition Era 1996-97: F40PH P32BWH Genesis P40DC/P42DC American Orient Express!
Since the mid 1970s, General Motors Electro-Motive Division F40PH passenger diesels served Amtrak, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, tirelessly. By the 1990s, the time had come for Amtrak to update its diesel locomotive fleet. Replacements came in the form of General Electric's freight-engine-looking P32BWH (Dash 8-32BWH), and GE's Genesis Series P40DC and P42DC passenger diesels. Through 1996 and 1997, every class of Amtrak diesel could be found pulling its trains, including specials such as the luxurious American Orient Express.

All the loco power in this video is classic Amtrak! All of them now are no longer in main use or retired. At least most of the Genesis P40/42DC’s are still operating.

The IC3 Flexliner was heading to Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan to operate short haul intercity routes as an experiment in 1997. Amtrak rejected the Flexliner.

At the 19-minute mark, I realized that F40 #402 has a weird-sounding horn. 😏🔊😬 It sounds Canadian/VIA Rail styled but in lower pitch and/or either another train which I don’t remember hearing from.

Why do you called it a P32BWH??? That's never a thing! It's obviously is called "Dash-8 32BWH" The only Amtrak P32 is on the Hudson line or in Metro North in New York and Connecticut

My source suggested otherwise. All details are researched, including for this video. There are those who agree with you, but there are a number who don't. I made a judgement call, to answer your question.
