Wow. Everything still looks the same, in the late 70's I worked in that shop 1600 s Lumber. I was a machinist working with the F-40's some SDP-40's and once in a blue moon a P-30ph. I also worked with the French version turboliners in Brighton Park and I remember going to Beech Grove for training. Good memories from the good old days.
@@Cursedc23 bruh the only one they didn’t paint in the video was The F40ph Many P40s were painted into Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4 and sure P40s were in phase 3 paint but it was different also the P40s were built in the 90’s so it makes no sense to paint it in a outdated scheme unless it’s a heritage unit. And the phase 4 paint well to tell a heritage unit is if it has the Amtrak 1971-2011 word marking on it. So no your wrong.
Jason Learakos2005 Amtrak has 24 or 25 NPCUs, most or all of which are still in use. They arent powered anymore, they are used as cab control units for trains that are suitable for push pull operation. NPCU stands for Non Powered Control Unit.
Nice! 90356 and 504 are no longer in their original old liveries! 90368 was just repainted last year 4:55 nice to see the whole stack and hear that uncommon noise! 6:34 I was rather surprised when these viewliner baggae cars appeared on western routes as well! I thought they were primarily for the east only!
When I was young, Milwaukee Road had sash window passenger cars! Those were wooden-sided cars that evolved to steel-sided cars without sash windows. The new stainless steel-sided double deckers were the next passenger car upgrades. Suburban trains to downtown Chicago predated the automobile expressways, similar to Maxwell Street being replaced by shopping malls.
I looked at Union Station on google earth and saw some ancient Milwaukee Road equipment, probably for the 261, saw some charter cars, and oddly saw a Pacific Surfliner engine!
Crossbuck Productions The main 5 at least, yes. Theres plenty of variations that of course I didnt see. Like pepsi can on the dash8s. And the first version of phase 5 on the P42s. But for whats left in the current day, yea I basically saw it all. I was quite happy that day.

+Railroadfan5383 And the HHP-8 electric loco'! And the Acela Express EMUs!
+train fan504 Thanks! And I was close to the door, that's not that far in at all. If there's not a lot of people around and there aren't those bitch station ladies watching everything, you can just walk in, take a few shots, and leave and no one cares really.
I really like seeing Amtrak back to back, by it always seems that they face forward I guess that’s how they come in so majority of their multiple consists are elephant style
omg u saw an original paint scheme of amtrak f40ph but they dont have any engine inside of it other f40ph were sold or gone to amtraks tourist line but others are indeed scraped
3:22 RARE CATCH BRO! 156 Nose to nose with a future heritage unit and between 156 and another, 822 or the other phase 3 heritage unit. On top of that, 404 was there, and you also caught 66 that day! Wow! I would be soooo happy if I had caught those! Liked. Can you check out my newest videos?
It hit a truck while on the Lincoln service and the frame was bent. It got moved to beech grove and has sat there since probably being used as parts source. When the frame gets bent it basically makes a locomotive unrepairable
+QuarterCoasterPounder Railfan They use them on occasion on the mainline when they are short of power, but almost all the time, they use them in the yards. Id like to see them on the mainline regularly myself, but oh well.
+arlingtontrains productions You mean Amtrak P42 #1? No I did not see it, but it could have been in a building or buried in the yard somewhere, who knows.

Magine all the fumes in & around that that yard..... Must be diesel heaven😏😏😏
I like steam locomotives better would you rather be in steam locomotive heaven or Diesel Locomotivs heaven
I recorded me singing emotions by mariah Carey today can you watch it and reply to me like now 😀👍
1:19 awwwww 66 how much i miss u
So... many..... *heritage units*
No it’s mostly just trains they didn’t paint to the current paint scheme
@@Cursedc23 bruh the only one they didn’t paint in the video was The F40ph Many P40s were painted into Phase 1, 2, 3, or 4 and sure P40s were in phase 3 paint but it was different also the P40s were built in the 90’s so it makes no sense to paint it in a outdated scheme unless it’s a heritage unit.

@@hytale-cmb3238 ✅
Pretty interesting that 90368 stayed in phase 3 for so long
Am I the only one that got excited about two F40phs? Only 8 are still in use.

They need to RE-power them. I miss the iconic sound of the F40PH. That literally WAS Amtrak. :)
I
Well, I like NPCU’s
I see a lot of F40PHs at Rondout, il
Great video! My Dad worked out of Chicago for over 20 years, first as a conductor and then as an engineer. This video brought back a lot of memories!
what's your dads name, my father is still a machinist at 16 th st
Mike Prokop his name is William Rucker. Goes by Bill.
Nice! 90356 and 504 are no longer in their original old liveries! 90368 was just repainted last year
4:55 nice to see the whole stack and hear that uncommon noise!
6:34 I was rather surprised when these viewliner baggae cars appeared on western routes as well! I thought they were primarily for the east only!
I think most if not all the Amtrak heritage engines were there at one time I would be flipping out! Wow what a great video
That’s a really detailed model railroad
5:27 Awesome video! I took a trip to Chicago actually! It's pretty cool because That Amtrak helper (#96) was the leader locomotive for our train!
Thanks!
These trains really need a power washing.
Yes some of them do to be honest lol
Miguel Malave same with you
@@Westerstar-cx9vd u think he needs power washing ?
Great ! Greetings from Port Saint Lucie Florida!

Great catch of the 66 before she got in the crash.
Maine Railfan© ikr
Dose anyone else miss the AEM-7s i sure do. I wish i could here there amazing sound of there Nathan k5la horn.
I've got a K5LA from the A end of 947 in my collection!
RRF5358, awesome video. Enjoyed watching. I learned a little about Chicago Amtrak.
Nice catches! I want to railfan in areas like that in Chicago one day, but I may decide otherwise, which I probably will.
nice video and great catch of all the Amtrak trains in your video.
Thanks!
Your welcome and you should check out my channel.
+Mike Troina I shall do that now
+Railroadfan5383 ok sounds good.
I saw like every Amtrak locomotive that is on the Amtrak Pere Marquette 56,31,35,126,and 508
Wow,some locomotives were in phase 4 scheme and one FP40H locomotive in the phase 5 scheme that was so cute
Great railfanning video
Union station is a beutiful place with that old brickwork
I looked at Union Station on google earth and saw some ancient Milwaukee Road equipment, probably for the 261, saw some charter cars, and oddly saw a Pacific Surfliner engine!
Nice shots! So far Amtrak #66 and a Dash-8
Que bonita vista de todos los trenes de Amtrak.
You literally saw every phase Amtrak has ever had.... HOW
Crossbuck Productions The main 5 at least, yes. Theres plenty of variations that of course I didnt see. Like pepsi can on the dash8s. And the first version of phase 5 on the P42s. But for whats left in the current day, yea I basically saw it all. I was quite happy that day.
+Railroadfan5383 And the HHP-8 electric loco'! And the Acela Express EMUs!
Crossbuck Productions phase 5a and 5b?
lul 5a and 5b don't exist it's Phases I-VI
Probably because many of Amtrak’s lines connect to Chicago
man I miss working in that yard
Love seeing that F40PH NPCU in front of 156
Wow, they actually let u that far out in the south concourse? Interesting. Awesome video, u got some great shots!
+train fan504 Thanks! And I was close to the door, that's not that far in at all. If there's not a lot of people around and there aren't those bitch station ladies watching everything, you can just walk in, take a few shots, and leave and no one cares really.
3:10 well look at that, it’s engine 100 before it was the Midnight Blue 50th anniversary unit
Great footage. Thank you for sharing......
Brad
+Brad Lobregt Thanks Brad!
2:20 that P32-8BWH should have his red marker lights on if he is going backwards!
90368 unfortunately now wears Phase V.
I really like seeing Amtrak back to back, by it always seems that they face forward I guess that’s how they come in so majority of their multiple consists are elephant style
Cool video!
+steven williams Thanks Steven!
Nice action Fred
MrTrain513 Thanks Chuck!
Great video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A
They still have their F40PH locomotives from the 70s 80s and the 90s!?
As NPCUs, yes
1:10 so sad 66 left service
What happened to it?
Wrecks.
@@steelcityrailfan4808 it got hit by a truck and the frame got bent soo its unrepairable
Oh
Awesome video man!
+tcrailfan15 Thank you!
R.I.P P42DC 66
R.I.P P42DC 156
I wish the F40PHs could be brought back on to Amtrak to team up with the GE Genesis`s
Oh! They repaired Amtrak 66?
No this was taken last year.
:(
O
Nice video!
I liked the Amtrak f40 baggie car thing
Didint even know Union station was full of Amtraks, not Metra
Great video
AWESOME VIDEO
Thanks!
Chicago, the rail hub of American freight and passenger service combined.
Great video! I really enjoyed it. I also subscribed.
+SoFloRR 1018 Thank you!
omg u saw an original paint scheme of amtrak f40ph but they dont have any engine inside of it other f40ph were sold or gone to amtraks tourist line but others are indeed scraped
3:22 RARE CATCH BRO! 156 Nose to nose with a future heritage unit and between 156 and another, 822 or the other phase 3 heritage unit. On top of that, 404 was there, and you also caught 66 that day! Wow! I would be soooo happy if I had caught those! Liked. Can you check out my newest videos?
*sigh* there are no more amtrak F40ph that is operational
Nice Video
olá,poderia fazer filmagem dentro das locomotivas?
obrigado,parabens pelo video.
What happened to the Phase II Genesis #66 after his accident?
It hit a truck while on the Lincoln service and the frame was bent. It got moved to beech grove and has sat there since probably being used as parts source. When the frame gets bent it basically makes a locomotive unrepairable
2:50 is that 145 behind that P42??
Watch the end of the video and you'll find out
it was
There is another phase 3 f40ph npcu
No, there was only one original phase 3 F40 NPCU when I shot this video
Too bad the Dash 8's seem to be stuck doing yard work instead of being on the main line.
+QuarterCoasterPounder Railfan They use them on occasion on the mainline when they are short of power, but almost all the time, they use them in the yards. Id like to see them on the mainline regularly myself, but oh well.
I see them used as backup power on the 11 coast starlight all the time
This video could have been much longer. I was getting into it then it was over. Good video, sad ending.
I recorded me singing emotions by mariah Carey today can you watch it and reply to me like now 😀👍
why arent there a video on the new yorks sunny yards train action ... it
Ive seen a f40ph in chicago thats not a cabbage unit
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore; not like did back in 1954!
4:16 what service is that??
at 5:25 how old are the wagons he is hauling ?
Depending. Superliner I is from I think early 80’s or late 70’s and Superliner II is from the 90’s
1:19 is that phase 2 or phase 3 paint???
2
damn you saw alot and 3 of their heritage units
Yep, I got lucky
+Railroadfan5383 im up to 4 out of 10 on my next trip to PA i wabt to try and find some of NS
Was that lakeshore at 4:07?
I believe it was the Cardinal. The Lake Shore Limited has more Viewliners and Amfleet cars in the consist, and always has 2 locomotives.
1:17 R.I.P.
1:06 Those superliners need a wash!
Do you know what yard P42 199 is in?Its my favorite P42 in the roster!!!!
+FECSD70M2 PRODUCTIONS It goes around everywhere. There's no specific yard or spot it stays at.
***** Oh.
4:57 I bet that smells so nice cuz of all that gas
mmmmm solar
No Amtrak Lake shore limited?? Seriously?
Nostalgic...
2:15 omg 519 and 68 I have both in ho and they're connect zomg
You are stupid
3:13 wow (A PHASE III) NPCU 90368
Where were you standing? I wanna go to the same spot. Thanks!
Most of the video I was standing on 18th street bridge and on lumber street near the bridge
@@Railroadfan5383 by any chance how do I drive to there. When I fly up to Chicago I would love to go there.
RIP 156 and 66
Was engine 1 in the yard on that day?
+arlingtontrains productions You mean Amtrak P42 #1? No I did not see it, but it could have been in a building or buried in the yard somewhere, who knows.
What camera do you use?
For this video I used a Sony CX240. However I have upgraded to a Sony CX455, and it is a better camcorder
I’m so jealous
Ii ment 406 and 903
66☹️
godam those trains look burnt 😂
Sigh i wised i worked there
Filmes expetaculares
I saw this vid and I was like subscribe and go and get the metra route in ts2016 asap
All these engines, just sitting around doing nothing. No wonder Amtrak is broke.
我们4，
Great video
