AMTK 700
Title:  AMTK 700
Description:  700 & 823 shove a mail car north for tonight's Lake Shore Ltd. 700 was repainted in 2004 Phase Vb and then in 2017 into the Empire Phase III paint. This Phase III paint scheme was sharp. 700 also has a nose hatch now that was cut in during 2020. It required the removal of the nose numberboard. This unit and 711 were the only units I am aware of that returned from Beech Grove with the numberboard intact. The hatches were cut in because Amtrak was operating into Grand Central for a time and with the narrow tunnels, MN has nose hatches on their own units. So Amtrak began to cut hatches in over time. 700 was the final holdout and now all 18 units have been refitted.
