Great Catches! AEM-7s are one of my favorites locomotives but I’m sad they are retired but we have one at the Illinois railway museum and other at PRR museum.
I love the sequence (beginning at 9:53) where you have both an Acela train and a doubleheaded MARC commuter going in the same direction in the frame in great tele-compression, as the Acela begins to pull away, but looks like the MARC with its two diesels is no slouch here ;-)
That’s so cool you caught each train with 2 double headers one MP36 double header and 1 AEM-7 double headers that’s so RARE on 7:38 and on 11:30 is that 125 MPH
Excellent. MARC is Acelas main competitor. Because MARC utilizes electric train sets, it can can easily keep up with the best of the acs locomotives. MARC is in a very good space right now as they could go fully private like Brightline a be a real force in the United States.
Are you sure your not mixing up P895 with P883? When I come back from tennis on the weekdays, we normally see them in the car and P883 normally has 2 engines and 28 axles while P895 only has 16 axles at the 11.6 detector.
Привет. Очень красивое видео классные поезда особенно электропоезда отличные скорости . У нас в Сибири в России поезда ходят куда более тиши профиль дороги не позволяет разгонятся в заподной части России там ещё быстро ходят поезда до 200км. в час. Отличный видеоподборка как у вас говоря улов.Спасибо за приятный просмотр.До свидание.
sorry i hadn't been posting much because i was sick so I'm better so fast amtrack like omg it's a bullet train wow cool and i tried to get a truck that didn't honk i felt mad
Guess NJT will have to pick up the tab. If MARC scaps all their electric engines it's good by to running at speeds over 120 M.P.H. as well as running holiday extras during the Thanksgiving Holiday extra to Amtrak's Pennsylvania Station in New York City. As eveyones knows no diesels are allowed to run into Penn Station in N.Y.C. unless under extenuating circumstances. Speaking of curtailing their (MARC's) electric motive power idea, someone must have transfered from the MBTA's staff to work on MARC's staff since they (the MBTA) don't run any electrics anyway because of falacious excuses! (e.g. maintenance facilities)Firstclass91
Jose Barr Nice Jab at the MBCR (Mass Bay Commuter Rail), but it's like I've been saying they should look into running Electric engines considering at one point most of Southern Mass was electrified to accommodate the New Haven & Hartford's line before the formation of the MBTA. So I'm all for it!!!
Agreed, the MBTA should at least consider using refurbished Silverliner IV's for the Providence Line and Bombardier ALP 45DP''s for the rest of the MBTA systems to run the catenary via pantograph and diesel power where no catenary exist at present.
BaltimoreAndOhioRR The special button was the Subscribe button. Great videos! To answer *****'s question in my words, I'm not really sure, but the recent Amtrak crash on the Northeast Corridor involved a fresh, beautiful, and amazing Siemens ACS-64. I hope it's not gonna be scrapped, but rather repaired, or, if they have no other choice but to scrap it, that the ACS-64 was under warranty, or that Amtrak will purchase another ACS-64 to replace it. :[
I heard somewhere Amtrak might bring back the HHp-8 because the trains are getting longer and they are a little under the power of Acs but I don't think that would ever happen but anyway great video
As european, those american raylways look pretty weird to me, not bad, but pretty strange, different, a rare mix between old style and interesting ideas, like the two floor Marc, two locos to pull that train makes me think it´s pretty heavy! :)
They don't use two engines because the train is too heavy, but in case one ends up breaking down, so that way it won't have to stop, and that way won't block the line and delay any other trains or potentially cause an accident.
Great Video! 11:00-11:45 (especially the 2nd train) demonstrates why MARC should keep the HHP-8's. The service has been improving a lot over the past few years, but getting rid of the electrics was very misguided. I hope they're not surprised when passengers start asking why their "express" train to Perryville takes 15 min longer to get there... btw can't wait to see the new "Multi-levels"!
+BaltimoreAndOhioRR I subscribed to your account. I loved that one you did at the train station. it was beautiful. Your films are the reason I wanna railfan down there now. check out my Vids when you get a chance.
BaltimoreAndOhioRR Yip-yips is a down under (NZ) idiom meaning the wobbles. It was very noticeable (as said) @4:41, the train took a sharp dip to its left.j
hughvane oh, ive never heard that term. I see it. you can see a hint of it on a couple other trains. maybe the camera position just caught it better on this one? not sure
what is bad about the tracks in areas u railfan in like harmans and st. denis is that all streets cross tracks on overpasses.none r underpasses or railroad crossings.all streets that cross tracks that marc runs on r on overpasses
they are already leasing two aem-7's. initially, marc wanted to get rid of all their electric engines. (they got rid of their own aem-7's, now lease amtraks! haha)
@@eles2147diesel trains are more flexible than electric trains like AEM-7 and HHP8 but Marc should really order ACS-64 because they produce 8600 horsepower
Speaking of curtailing their (MARC's) electric engines, someone must have transfered from the MBTA's staff to work on MARC's staff since they (the MBTA) don't run any electrics anyway because of falacious excuses! (e.g. maintenance facilities)
Unfortunately, during the Thanksgiving Day weekend holiday rush, MARC won't be able to run those diesel in the North River Tunnels under the Hudson. Therefore, it will be either AMTRAK or NJT to loan them some electrics. Unless it is an emergency, NYC will not permit diesels to run to either Penn or Grand Central Stations without the feature of third rail pickup (Third rail shoes) on the diesel engines.

Thanks!
7:51 I forgot MARC had AEM-7’s
yep!
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRRToo bad they’re retired but at least we still have a few HHP-8’s left which is really rare and that only runs on the penn line
0:13 beautiful shot
It’s crazy to think that the ACS-64 entered service only about 4 and a half months before this video came out.
Yep!

i usually go to point of rocks , brunswick , harpers ferry, will try up that way. Both of my Uncles were Lawyers for the B&O.
honestly i love rail fanning some marc train and amtraks
Super video, added to our Travel Channel. Enjoy the day.
Transit train videos usually don't do too much for me, but this one had so many trains rapid-fire that I watched it clear through. Great video!
thanks for watching!
Marc at 9:42 wait for me!!!!!!!
Nice video
Nice video! I really enjoy your railfanning videos on the NEC.
thx! I have more to come!
schönes Video und vor allem mit Lokveteranen, die AEM-7 ist ja im wohlverdienten Ruhestand
Awesome Dave that was cool keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
I think hpp-8’s should have been for freight because they have 8000 hp.
Lol imagine 100mph freight trains XD
European railroads: say no more
so, sir, uh, bad news
I love aem-7 and one left in Chicago railway museum and others are gone they are my favourite
yep! 🤩
i wish the hhp-8s and aem-7s stayed in service along side the acs-64s talk about a godly trio

That last train is going to become P895 once it gets to union station. Some nice catches that day.

FAST CAB CARS!!! from Marc & Amtrak
4:47=aem-7 number 946 was the second unit in the excursion train 18/6/2016
Pretty cool video. I don't know much abt the types of trains or anything like that, I'm just enjoying what I'm seeing.
It was great to see MARC double headers on 7:22 and 9:53 a great catch!!!
Never seen MP36's in pull mode move so fast!

It would be so cool to have electric freight trains there.
The last years of Amtrak AEM-7 I am so sad because I live in Ukraine and will never see them live
Great video!
Toasters & HHP-8s, gotta love them

Thanks so much! I'm glad you're better 🤒
Acela and MARC 4914, the best couple.
Considering the fact that the HHP -8 and AEM-7 is sooned to be replaced they're doing a hell of a job for a last ho rah.
Actually the MARC rail system said it's going to scrap the whole electric motive power idea all together.
Guess NJT will have to pick up the tab. If MARC scaps all their electric engines it's good by to running at speeds over 120 M.P.H. as well as running holiday extras during the Thanksgiving Holiday extra to Amtrak's Pennsylvania Station in New York City.

Be nice if the MBTA had some ALPs or Silverliners like SEPTA.

Yes! I am done with class now and I should be able to get back to the tracks.

Congrats!
Thanks!
That track the Acela was on at 3:25 looks like it needs to be replaced. Great video anyway :D
JBtrainman ii
It’s because with the camera zoom, it makes the track look like it isn’t that smooth
Hey is it me or is it just a cab driver in the right side on 0:48?
!!!!!!!!!!!Sin duda un Gran Trasbordo impresionante
Wow!! Awesome video!!
Thanks!!

Where were the ACS 64s?
They werent here at the time of the video
I am from the future and both are all replaced and 1 in preservation. Now It’s just acs-64’s
Wait! How did you get back in time?! I'm surprised!

How long did it take for each train to pass?
Do you mean how much time after one train passed before the next one came?
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR yes
@@dfw_railfanner not long, some were just a minute or two. I guess the longest was about 25-30 minutes.
Why haven't ya'll taken more videos of the marc aem7 locomotives?
They're not running anymore. Stopped a few years ago.
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR when they did run, could've gotten more videos of them.
@@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164 I got plenty. You just have to search 😉
Harmans is like Bowie; a MARC stop, but not an AMTRAK stop (despite it being on the NEC).

4:21 I'm pretty sure the engineer showed the finger to the camera lol
Your right
I reduced the playback speed and I’m almost certain that you are correct.
It’s epic to see mp36s in fast mode
OMG I LOVE MARC TRAIN
I like trains...🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
Why didn't the Acela "tilt" during corner? i thought the Acela is tilting train.
Sorry, I can't answer that, I really don't know. Maybe it wasn't going fast enough?
Does the Marc still has the aem-7 engines?????
no
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR they do they are sending some to cal train for service

off railroad ave in harmans, md
Ok thanks!
Do you need a permit to record the trains?

everything is calm

can you make more of these vids?
I'll try!
Bro I'm not a fan of the MP36s but they do have good k5las
It’s actually called a C5A-CWP horn
0:13 how fast was that guy going?
Around 110 mph I guess
great video
Nice video.
3:30 Wow that's this year
9:42/9:51 Acela vs MARC race
Why are so many of the MARC trains not electric? Is their route only partially on electric track?
yep, that's it.
what is bad about the tracks in areas u railfan in like harmans and st. denis is that all streets cross tracks on overpasses.none r underpasses or railroad crossings.all streets that cross tracks that marc runs on r on overpasses

I feel like MARC will take Amtrak's left over engines like the HHP-8 and the AEM-7
they are already leasing two aem-7's. initially, marc wanted to get rid of all their electric engines. (they got rid of their own aem-7's, now lease amtraks! haha)
The way I've heard it is that MARC engineers don't like operating electrics as a whole. Is that true?
