The first test train of the Amtrak ALC42s trails on Amtrak Auto Train 53 as it departs Lorton. The Amtrak Pacific Bend sleeper car is trailing after the locomotives so that engineers can measure and keep and eye on the engines as they are tested. The P40DCs that are on the train are not active, so the ALC42s are the only ones working to move the train.
