Yea nice catch catching this heritage unit on this service

I love hearing diesel engines chugging in tunnels!
Also, #108 looks great in that new 50th Anniversary livery.

On July 25th, while I was getting off a NJ Transit train in New York Penn Station, I heard P32AC-DM 708 running in diesel mode.

[@Amtraknecandcsxproductions]

Instead of 3rd rail

[@collinparsons3363]

I'm not so sure of that. The P32s are very loud even in electric mode, and some might mistake it for diesel mode. I believe when diesels are run into Penn Station, they shut off the engine immediately after stopping and restart it just before the train departs.

[@Amtraknecandcsxproductions]

@@collinparsons3363 yes sometimes they do that

[@ryansrailwayproductions794]

I thought ACS-64s and acela expresses only operate Amtrak on the northeast corridor!

[@REDACTED4503]

They do sometimes run P42s in there, but very rarely.

I caught that same train at Hudson station, NY
And good video 👍

[@Amtraknecandcsxproductions]

Thanks

[@railfanner3764]

No problem, I also caught a local grain train that drops its grain to feed deer

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

And i thought only P32s appear in NYP

[@Amtraknecandcsxproductions]

They sometimes send p42s

I’m surprised they would allow a diesel in Penn station with the pollution they cause

[@Busdriver2435_YT]

@@3985uprr aren’t P32’s diesels too?

[@3985uprr]

@@Busdriver2435_YT they have 3rd rail capability to operate into Penn Station to limit pollution

[@Busdriver2435_YT]

@@3985uprr ok

[@yeahman70]

Lol the intro and outro take up more time in the video than the video itself, maybe you should shorten it a bit

[@Amtraknecandcsxproductions]

Thanks I will
