Amtrak has released two ACS-64 locomotives in a special Crayola crayon wrap, which will operate in the Northeast. The locomotives were unveiled on May 8 as part of a new promotion with the crayon company. 

One locomotive is draped in Violet Blue and showcases a collection of eight retired crayon colors that Crayola recently reintroduced for a limited time. The second locomotive is wrapped in Dandelion – a golden yellow and one of the fan-favorite, “unretired” crayon colors. The locomotive also features crayon character “Dan D,” the Crayola Ambassador of Creativity. 

“We’re thrilled about our newly minted partnership with Crayola, arriving just in time for the summer travel season. Both Amtrak and Crayola are iconic brands, which together can unlock unique, memorable experiences for children and adults alike,” said Jessica Davidson, Amtrak Vice President of Digital and Brand Marketing. “Between special savings and imaginative locomotive designs, we are excited to foster extraordinary journeys and inspire creativity across America.” —Railfan & Railroad Staff
