Description

This is Kato 176-5344 N E8A VIA Rail #1800. EMD E8A with single headlight and passenger pilot, Via Rail Canada #1800. In its formative years, Amtrak relied heavily on acquired equipment to provide its passenger fleets and motive power. For trains routes such as that of the ex-PRR Broadway Limited, Amtrak used a combination of ex-Pennsylvania E8A locomotives and GG1’s, just as the Pennsylvania Railroad had done in the years before.

Its key features are:
All locomotives will be equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
Directional golden white LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards
Powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels
Designed to be paired with the Amtrak smoothside passenger car sets
