Amtrak No. 945 (AEM-7)

Amtrak No. 945 is an AEM-7 type electric locomotive built in collaboration by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) and ASEA in April 1982 for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, also known as Amtrak. It was used in high-speed passenger service on the electrified Northeast Corridor between Washington DC and Boston, MA. When Amtrak began replacing their AEM-7 locomotives with ACS-64 locomotives in February 2014, it was officially retired from service and would later be acquired by the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL for static display in March 2018.
As of today, it remains on static display at the Illinois Railway Museum and is also currently one of three AEM-7 locomotives surviving in preservation, the others being Amtrak No. 915 at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA and Amtrak No. 917 at the Danbury Railway Museum in Danbury, CT.
