Amtrak No. 915 is an AEM-7 type electric locomotive built in collaboration by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) and ASEA in January 1981 for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, also known as Amtrak. It was used in high-speed passenger service on the electrified Northeast Corridor between Washington DC and Boston, MA. When Amtrak began replacing their AEM-7 locomotives with ACS-64 locomotives in February 2014, it was officially retired from service and would later be acquired by the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA for static display in the summer of 2015.
As of today, it remains on outdoor display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania alongside Amtrak E60 No. 603 and PRR GG1 No. 4800, among other locomotives and rolling stock. It is also currently one of two AEM-7 locomotives surviving in preservation, the other one being Amtrak No. 945 at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.
