In the mid-90s, the professional wrestling stable known as the New World Order was the hottest thing in pop culture at the time. The nWo, as it was known, had a saying, "When you're nWo, you're nWo 4-LIFE!" 25 years later, Amtrak has apparently taken a page out of the nWo's playbook. When Amtrak's heritage unit 184, painted in the "Phase IV" livery in 2011 in celebration of the railroad's 40th anniversary, was painted back to standard "Phase V" in early 2023, everyone thought "Phase IV" was officially done. Then, unexpectedly and from seemingly out of nowhere, in early May 2023, Amtrak released 164 as the new Phase IV heritage unit (albeit missing the 40th Anniversary niceties.) The first anyone seemingly ever knew of this unit was when it suddenly showed up in Chicago Union Station. Two days later it was leading it's maiden voyage on Train #5, the westbound California Zephyr. Here it can be seen passing through Somonauk, IL, on the return portion of this maiden voyage on the point of the Zephyr's eastbound counterpart, Train #6. In tow behind trailing locomotive 54 is a special treat, two brand new Siemens ALC-42 Chargers, 330 & 331, in Amtrak's newest "Phase 7" livery. So it would seem that, like the New World Order, when Amtrak is Phase IV, it is Phase IV-LIFE!.
One of these odd shots - again! Obviously a little shaky and... Can you tell I'm experimenting again?

It took a long time before the beings let It roam around, not too close, but not so far away from their sight. They would still keep silence on Its presence, keep a tense stance and remain aware of their surroundings, recognizing the predator that It truly was but accepting that in that moment It represented no threat..
Humans would also recognize It but rather as a guardian of the forests where It would roam, respecting its presence and even in counted occasions, bowing to It while leaving a small prey as an offer, most times It would return the gesture and retire in silence as to not intrude their activities since they were still evolving and It did not want to have any influence on them.
Those efforts did not last once those human groups often quiet and respectful broke into the forest to fight for land and a strange new concept that seemed so foreign to them considering their brittle nature: power. These creatures were totally powerless against the nature, they were fragile and mortal, even in their prime there were so many threats surrounding them constantly that It's mind could not comprehend the reasoning behind the fight. More reason for It to avoid them, hiding and running away from the conflict.
Animals were different to humans, they fought because of hunger, because of reproduction and territories which would come to close the circle as it would involve food. Again some seasons where harsher than the others and the possibility to starve during a cold winter was always there.
Things were changing among those pesky humans. It noticed first that they would hunt prey for hunger, but every now and then, also for pleasure and the sake of hurting other creatures. Sometimes to bring misery and destruction to their own kind was more important than survival itself. To destroy all resources to prevent others to survive was more important than their own chances.
The time for a shift was approaching and its endeavors have been unsuccessful for quite a long time now, yet there was still a chance if It traveled further to the North where humans did not roam as often, the vast dark forests extended offering It protection and the cold, oh the cold! It prevented the human legions to set foot to settle on the harsh landscapes. The animals had to live and survive in packs, as climate was often cruel.
The following beast that It chose to assimilate next was a wolf, a young female that would probably have more chances to be accepted than a male loner. Getting close to their packs to watch over them was near impossible at times, as an animated carcass, It did not hibernate and this would freak the life out of the rest of the creatures whom would run at the sight of the already deformed and partially rot bear.
Humans had not run from It the last time, they had carry tools made of minerals and polished pieces of wood and stood defiantly glaring into its direction. How odd, these creatures seemed to have lost the ability to identify It as a predator, all sense of respect for its existence. Was this the real reason behind their extinction? Their inability to identify danger?

Love is also the culmination of wisdom, for do not imagine that Bonaventure would have been satisfied with the barren knowledge of the Creator and His attributes. Having arrived at the point where reason fails, he burned with a desire to penetrate further. He wished, he says, to lay aside the powers of reason for a time and to direct all his understanding and being towards God until his will might be merged in God’s. But, when asked by what means that would be possible, Bonaventure urged the necessity of grace and not knowledge, desire and not thought, prayer and lamentations and not the study of books, the spouse and not the master, God and not humanity.
“Let us die then to ourselves,” he continued. “Let us enter into the mysteries of the darkness. Let us impose silence on solicitude, on desire, on the phantoms of the senses, and, in the train of the Christ crucified, let us pass from this world to our Father.”
