Does anyone else here share the opinion that the Acela Express trains look much better when the locos have their roof shrouds? It's a shame that they all seem to be missing now. I wonder if they'll ever come up with replacements that don't fall off after a few months of use. And I wonder why they don't seem to be falling off of the HHP-8's like they have on the Acela Express locomotives...

Yes, me. They look abominable without them. They've been running without them for about a month now. Not good PR for Amtrak, having relatively new equipment having the appearance of premature decay.

What are roof shrouds? Anyone have with/without photos they can post?

Have they fallen off or been removed for some reason?

After viewing the photos, I had to go back to see if the one we rode in June was with or without. Sure enough, it was without.

Now I feel cheated...

I still think the worst blight to Acela's appearance is the blotch paint scheme.

I'll gladly trade roof shrouds to have a frigging horizontal stripe somewhere on there. Looks like a nursery-school wall.
