Amtrack version is listed in the online store.
Bet if you searched you would find other road names online.

the Amtrak is an e60cp.it is similar to the model referenced, but longer with a cab on either end.

the e60cf was relatively rare both in real life and in model form. the Bachmann version referenced is probably a pancake motored engine from the late 1970s, and thus a poor runner. I am sure you could find one on ebay, but if you do that look for the ones made by walthers. those feature a much better drive from athearn, and will be easier to work on and much more reliable.
