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
