Actually, I heard two of these locomotives (Amtrak owned) would go to the Joint Powers Board Fleet (JPBX, CalTrain) for testing on the Newly Electrified Corridor in 2021. They are currently sitting at Transportation Technology Center awaiting transfer until the 25kV overhead catenary is installed.
The story of the Toaster isn’t over. Last year, Caltrain ordered some AEM7s for service after electrification is completed in 2021. The AEM7s will replace the F40s and MP36s with Metro-North M2s.
Some DCs were scrapped in Princeton West Virginia while others mainly the ACs are awaiting their fate at Princeton West Virginia in Wilmington Delaware.
I ordered those SEPTA ACS-64s #901-#915 in g scale at the g scale New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in Fayetteville West Virginia on the Paoli/Thorndale line, the Langhorne/Thorndale line, the Lansdale/Thorndale line, and the Lancaster/Thorndale/Paoli line.
AMTK 900 and 903 were involved in the Chase Maryland train collision with some Conrail B36-7's, , also AMTK 601 was involved in the Frankford Junction derailment
The AEM-7s however weren't the very 1st engines to be used in push-pull services. Back in the 70s when regional rail was still operated by Conrail and the respective private railroads they used Ex-Reading F7s with 1 on each end and sometimes a 3rd if needed running on the diesel routes in the areas like Bethlehem Allentown Quakertown among other areas. But these services were cut in 1981 when diesel service was abolished.
AEM-7s #938 & #929 were sold to Caltrain. AEM-7s #928 & #942 are at TTCI in Pueblo Colorado. AEM-7s #915 & #945 were preserved in Strasburg Pennsylvania and Union Illinois.

Apparently one of the major reasons why the GG1’s were pulled from service was the oil used for lubricanting the pantograph and engine was highly toxic. When they were all retired. The motors were carefully disposed of. We would need a brand new Electric generator for the GG1’s to run again.
Whats so special about this?? It's like a bus...and for some reason I LOVE IT!! Long live the flying brick. I still haven't ever seen an AEM-7 in person, but its had my heart since the mid 80s in a book I received as a kid about locomotives. The speed impressed me initially, but the design is what keeps me coming back. Its a sexy brick, plain and simple. 4:37 on the left side is the exact livery that started it all for me . ❤❤❤❤❤

They literally just got all cut up today. RIP. End of an era. I was lucky enough to see one aem 7 in service last night when they moved them up to morrisville
@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren yeah, it sucks. its cool they still have 915 on the east coast, maybe by some miracle NJT will do something with the alp's on the Lackawanna cutoff, but everyday that passes it seems less and less likely because they have already had essential components removed and they are severely rusted and neglected, but ya never know lol.
Fact: Before the Penn Central merge, PRR owned LIRR until 1968. The LIRR steam locomotives, such as the G5s, had the PRR Keystone. I have the LIRR Keystone hat.
2 commuter railroads however, watched Amtrak closely and were very impressed by the AEM-7 and thought, "Hey, let's get some of those engines and put them into commuter operations". Marc was the first railroad to put their foot in the water, purchasing 4 in 1986, #4900-#4903. SEPTA would follow in 1988 with 7 #2301-#2307.
I am going to do what Norfolk Southern does use the AEM7s and ALP44 on work train service, switching service, and occasional regular passenger services.
The Amtrak bodies are made by Budd, while the SEPTA and Marc ones are from the Austrian firm Simmering Graz Pauker AG. I do apologize if I pronounced that wrong.
2:12 Bro...that number was from a single month Also, there's still a future career for the AEM-7's. There are two in storage (I don't remember if they were Amtrak's or SEPTA's), intended for trial on CalTrain's proposed electrification in the San Fransisco Bay Area. If this is true, they'll be the first full-size electric locomotives to run in California in well over half a century!
As of today sadly their are no longer any surviving SEPTA EMD AEM-7's left all where cut up in 2022. Although in good news regarding Amtrak AEM-7's the good news you will get Pennsylvania Railway Museum has 915, AND Illinois Railway Museum has 945, But recently some days ago 917 from out of hiding was rescued to the Danbury Railway Museum last I heard being the 3rd AEM-7 to be saved and one of the earlier ones.
I didn't know if that was 100% true or not so I left it out. Also I forgot about that anyway due to how stressful and time consuming this video was getting. Thankfully the ALP-44 video will be shorter and easier to edit (hopefully)
I searched up about the aem-7 and found out something. Did you know that conrail ordered 10 aem-7s? Conrail was excited to take delivery of the aem-7s but then they canceled the orders
Oh and did you know that 2 aem-7s owned by Amtrak were scraped after a short life? They were number 900 and 903. They both were involved in the chase md collision in 1987. They collided with 3 conrail c-38 locomotives. It killed 16 people. One of the conrail locomotives involved were scrapped while the two other conrail locomotives were repaired and put back in service
As a history buff I care a lot so your welcome. Thankfully though the Spire and roof collapsed the overall outside structure survived so it's repairable though the artifacts inside I don't know if they burned up or were water damaged.
@@Thunderbolt_1000_SirenSEPTA's AEM-7s were infact express engines for their push-pull services even though they can't go as fast as the Amtrak counterparts.
In case you missed it, NS will send two SD70M-2s to Progress Rail for rebuilding into AC traction with all the latest software. The pair is not expected to begin testing until 2023. Several SD70M-2s have been sold off, but NS retains many. How many exactly? After repeated failures, the PR43Cs ultimately found themselves in storage in Windsor, Ontario. By 2019, the PR43Cs were sitting at Windsor with an uncertain future ahead of them, but in that same year, they were renumbered from #4000-#4011 to #130-#141 in order to make room for the AC44C6Ms that would be numbered in the #4000s on CP. Many railfans speculated that the PR43Cs would re-enter service after that, because why would CP go through the trouble of renumbering them if they would never operate again? Unfortunately, these theories proved to be wrong, when all 12 PR43Cs were returned to Canadian Pacific's Vancouver British Columbia shops in late 2020. By 2021, they were chopped up into parts. Nowadays, all PR43Cs are assumed scrapped, including the demonstrator, #4300. So why are the PR43Cs important? Well, most obviously, they did something with a few of Canadian Pacific's SD50s to make them slightly more useful. At the beginning of of video, the SD50s were overly complicated and unreliable, and by the end of the video, they were turned into undoubtedly reliable SD40Es, and well, interesting PR43Cs. Also, because they were a part of Canadian Pacific's switching engines, they showed the railroad that Genset technology is unreliable, and since the PR43Cs, Canadian Pacific hasn't experimented with Genset technology that much. I said the PR43Cs were chopped up into parts at the g scale New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in Fayetteville West Virginia not far from Ansted where my uncle Greg lives. Nah, just kidding. In 2010, Amtrak ordered 71 ACS-64 locomotives from Siemens to replace the AEM-7s not the HHP-8s which the HHP-8s weren't a failure. The ACS-64s began entering revenue service in February of 2014, and soon the fleet was retired with the last two AEM-7s #942 & #946 making their final run on June 18th, 2016, on a farewell excursion that ran from Washington to Philadelphia. Amtrak #929 & #938 are on Caltrain. Two Amtraks have been preserved so far: #915 going to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, which I plan to revisit in the future, and #945 going to the Illinois Railway Museum. Some DCs were scrapped, while others, mainly the ACs, are awaiting their fate in Wilmington, Delaware. Marc was next, replacing their AEM-7s with Siemens Chargers, around 2017. The HHP-8s however, got a second chance with rebuilds in 2018, but the AEM-7s are currently in storage. Amtraks #664 was leased to SEPTA in 2016, for testing the locomotives before buying them. Tests were completed with success, and in 2014, SEPTA ordered 15 ACS-64S from Siemens #901-#915. #901 entered service on July 11th 2018, running its 1st train on the Great Valley Flyer on the Paoli/Thorndale line. Eventually, as more and more entered service, SEPTA decided, it was time. Some were used on late-night gel trains in the fall, as like a sort-of second retirement job, but soon all were retired with the exception of #2302 being used as a switching engine on the Kanawha River Railroad by late November 2018, with a farewell excursion taking place on December 1st 2018 running from Paoli to Suburban Station with ALP-44 #2308 and AEM-7 #2301. Yours truly was on-board that day, boy was that a fun time. But the story doesn't really end there because after that excursion #2302 #2301 #2303 #2306 #2304 #2307 #2303 & #2308 are switching freight cars as of today at Belle, West Virginia a Charleston suburb on the Kanawha River Railroad.
if I somehow have the money to I would definitely try and buy one off of Amtrak, the AEM-7 recently became my favorite electric (I only ever saw 1 in service) and I’d love to preserve another one (and hopefully get it a cosmetic restoration to phase 3)
Well, that’s the benefit of electric locomotives: due to the fact that they produce no emissions and are much easier and cheaper to maintain/operate, they can outlive diesel and steam locomotives.
Hey Thunder I’m a little confused around the 11:20 mark you said that SEPTA leased Amtrak 664 for testing in 2016, but said after testing was completed they bought ACS-64’s in 2014.
4:50 you pronounced it nearly correctly, only the end with the “AG” are suppose to be pronounced separately, as “AG” is basically the german/austrian Incorporated.
Yes the ones from all the rail lines are still around. There was a rumor MARC scrapped them all but my good friend Acela2017 Railfanning told me that's false as he saw them in storage.

But soon, they will be restored just like the steam engines, and they will should do that with diesel engines too.
