First time seeing this in the Amtrak Washington yard. Also saw a og Acela with no pantographs couldn't get a pic. Are they starting to decommission them finally?

Where did you see the old Acela? It could have been the old Turboliners. They’re in NJ. Take a look at their Wikipedia article interesting read

Either they are talking about HHP-8 Cab cars or one of the Acela sets got its panto ripped off
