Frozen Coca Cola.

In November 2019 Amtrak wrapped Siemens ACS-64 #606 in a Coca Cola sponsored polar bear wrap. This was done as a limited-time promo for the holiday season and to commemorate the introduction of Coke products on Amtrak trains. Every time this locomotive came to Boston I was either working or it was dark out. While on a 24-hour shift at the firehouse I found out that the 606 would be leading train 171 out of Boston the next morning. As I left the firehouse at 6:45, still in uniform the temperature was 14 degrees with a windchill factor in the negative digits. I had an hour's drive ahead of me but there was not a cloud in the sky as the sun rose. Although I was exhausted and cold by the time 171 came through Attleboro at 125 mph, the effort was worth it.
