Sorry, that HHP-8 pulling that open platform coach (hilarious),
typically referred to as "Hippos" by railfans in an alliteration of the Bombardier/Alsholm model designation.
I had the privilege of chatting up a pair of Amtrak engineers deadheading on a Keystone train in 2014; they referred to the HHP's as "Ardvarks"
and, thinking of the comic strip BC and their appearence, I liked that a lot.
As an aside they loved their power(8000 hp) and performance in snowy, wet, cold weather but did not like their high failure rate in service.
I think MARC still has a few, but Amtrak's were swept out with the Toasters when the Sprinters were delivered.
