One of MARCs (Maryland Area Rail Commuter) HHP-8 stops to discharge passengers at Odenton MD. These are powerful motors, packing 8000 horsepower between the couplers. MARC had a half dozen of these Bombardier-Alstom electrics for use on the Penn Line. The Penn Line is MARCs only electrified line, which it shares with Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor. At one time, Amtrak had 15 HHP-8s, but all have been retired. They may make a comeback as an unpowered cab car!
Hip. Hip. Hooray !
