You are using an old experimental version X.2194 !
Download and install the latest version X.2351 from:
http://www.openrails.org/web1/experimental.html
and then try it again.
There does not appear to be one for Friday the 25th of July !
P.S.: There is no Amtrak 67.act in the download of the NEC-4 from this File Library.
Where did you get it from ?Comment

That web site page does not say that this is an EXPERIMENTAL update, all of which can be found now on this new web site, referred to in another thread:
http://www.openrails.org/web1/experimental.html
So where are users of ORTS now supposed to look for further experimental updates, also supplying a summary of what has been updated and fixed ?
Who is the ORTS team leader who is responsible for controlling and co-ordinating what its members are doing, to avoid a situation where the left hand does not know what the right one is doing ?Comment

Downloaded it and it is in fact the latest WIP update X.2360.
Halfway during its download another ORTS web site wanted to download a cookie which I did not allow.
Running this NEC-4 Amtrak 67 "Northeast Regional 67" activity ORTS X.2360 had no problem !
P.S.: This train running at night its Amtrak loco has no headlights and L switches only the cab lights ON or OFF 1

We changed the name from "experimental" to "Supporters' download". It is exactly the same thing though!That web site page does not say that this is an EXPERIMENTAL update, all of which can be found now on this new web site, referred to in another thread:

The list of changes is currently not available directly in the new site (pending design and other decisions) but there's a link to my site under "Recent Code Changes" which shows the changes direct from SVN. Unfortunately, the SVN server is having problems at the moment. We probably will be including the list of changes directly in the site at some point, but everything takes time.James Ross

At least we know now which is the latest experimental version to download from where, also indicated by its X.XXXX number showing when the ORTS menu is being displayed next !
Always best to get accurate info from the horses mouth !

The headlight problem mentioned before is probably about a bad ENG file. I just yesterday solved a similar problem myself, that I identified as bad light setup after checking in MSTS. But there´s another possibility:
It´s well known (at least, I thought so) that MSTS reverts to some sort of hard-coded default data if the data for some feature provided in the ENG file is not within some given limits. Thus, a lighting setup set to for example 10 meter cone radius (that´s the description from the official MS docs, though it doesn´t describe what this parameter determines - how far the light will reach) will give almost no light in ORTS, but in MSTS it´s just overridden with default data and looks good. Changing it to 100 m gave me good results in both sims.
Best thing to do that I can recommend in read the "How_To_Specify_Lights.doc" document that ships with the MSTS CDs by default. I´m sorry I forget now on which CD it was, having copied the docs to my HDD and packed away the CDs to somewhere I can´t find them right now...
