Arnold is 20 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, on a line, owned by the Allegheny Valley Railroad (ex-Pennsylvania Railroad) that has been proposed for commuter-rail service. The car was on display at the Amtrak station on April 15 and ran on a demonstration trip east to Greensburg later that day. On April 18 (2:00 pm - 5:30 pm) it is on display at the APTA Commuter Rail Conference in Atlantic City, N.J. It will make display stops at Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Altoona, Johnstown, and Pittsburg on various dates, May 14-16.
