  • You have all waited way too long and patiently for it but here it is finally. Engines of SEPTA Episode IV Silverliner Vs. This took way longer than it should of due to me busy with school and having to rerecord the narration due to the old one sounding horrible.
    Also please no "FIRST" comments as those get annoying and show you'd rather be the first to view rather than comment or congratulate me on my work let alone care about the content.

    These cars have provided great joy for me over the years. I love everything about these cars. The horns are great, and I just adore the railfan window. I have probably made more railfan window rides aboard these on TH-cam than anyone and I keep going. I’ve gotten a lot of criticism for these cars being of low quality, not lasting long and being ugly, but it doesn’t dissuade me one single solitary bit. They are among the greatest MU’s

    I too survived SEPTA-geddon, a couple City Transit division strikes and 2008 Phillies parade (not to mention my train pulling down the overhead catenary wire just north of Fern Rock). Though the Vs are better in many respects to the II/IIIs, and in some to the IVs I preferred the IVs seats and ride. I recall the Vs had a distracting vibration even in the center of the car. Am not sure it was the frequency or amplitude (mayb was just me). And the IVs also have a bit more over-the-shoulder privacy next the two bulkheads on either side of the center vestibule. In other words the IVs offered some premium seating with more leg room & privacy in the center vestibule & a solid wall behind you in the seats just outside.

    2. Express service - Red (EXP) Coding.
    3. Limited service - Blue (LTD) coding.

    10:34 you used a Comet I picture. Comet IIMs look similar but have bigger stripes and destination signs; Comet IVs are identical but with center doors. I believe only 1 ALP-46 and 1 Comet V was actually used on SEPTA service in 2016.
    11:06 I only remember MARC equipment being on the Wilmington/Newark and Media/Elwin lines.
    Great episode nevertheless. Some errors but they’re tolerable

  • @calebkao2239
    @calebkao2239 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember commuting to and from Drexel during the summer of 2016 on the Paoli Thorndale line. Trains would easily be filled by the time you reach Paoli. And we’d have to go all the way to Philly and skipping the rest of the intermediate stops because the trains were overcrowded.

    Nice and for the AEM-7 they actually entered on December 8 1987 since there is an Allentown Morning Call article about that if you were to search it. the obvious solution would be electrifying Lansdale to Bethlehem with I-78 exit 67 Hellertown Park and Ride. because that was the original Reading RR plan

      Both AEM-7s, the ALP-44, and leased ACS-64s pulled express sets during SEPTAgeddon. The leased ACS-64s were preferred however due to their younger service age and to help familiarize crews with them as SEPTA had purchased an order for ACS-64s of their own which are all now in service.

    SEPTA-geddon - up to 20 minutes late: SEPTA, u can count on your RR train being late except on the one day u really need it to be. ;) Still, SEPTA sure beats driving into center city on weekdays on the "Sure Kill Crawlway." Or SEPTA beats walking from Jenkintown to Bethayres station in the snow (done it).

    Not to troll but I strongly dislike the Silverliner V cars, and prefer the VI cars over the Vs. For one thing, the seats on the Vs are not as comfortable to sit in as the VIs. I also really hate the exterior because it just doesn't look right. The interior and exterior don't look as good as the previous four versions BUT the only thing I actually like about the Silverliner V cars are the monitors above some of the seats.
