I think the Trains Magazine $10,000 Preservation Award should go to Dynamic Rail Preservation for restoration on their only surviving (l think) Ex Amtrak SDP40F #644. Dynamic Rail Preservation is a non profit organization and restoration has been very slow on this engine for years but the engine is operational.
Plus I would like to see this engine back in original Amtrak Phase 1 colors again.
