  • This video starts out with back to bsck rarities and a meet for good measure. Ive never seen a Metroliner Cab Car on these tracks before. A high speed drag race follows along with a buzz on the platforms from us railfans. A meet was next up and almost as enjoyable.
    Early in the week they were testing the alert system at the airport. What followed later in the week was not a drill. Fire near the airport and enough to warn approaching pilots of the activity.
    I got 3 Amtrak shorties in 3 days. Most likely bad orders. They are all inlcuded.
    There are 4 helicopters leaving Martin. You will have to play Fortunate Son in your head or on your own. Also the Maryland ANG is flying Warthogs.
    Lastly I just had to include the Amtrak defect detector on Track A. They dont run trains on track A but they are probably responsible for track upkeep.

    Amtrak is planning to phase out the use of the Metroliner Cab Cars due to age and safety concerns, and is trialing using HHP-8s as unpowered cab units in their place as an interim until it can finally get the new Airo sets. This may mean that the Metroliners are taking a final bow as simple coaches, not being used as cab cars at all (aside from possibly reversing in yards). A poetic, but bittersweet, last act for what was once the crown jewel and shining hope of American railroading.

      Amtrak is also about to get rid of their current Acela trainsets (they're way past the end of service life). They are testing the new consists now on the NEC and they are supposed to be in service by the end of 2024.

      The Budd Metro cab cars are still viable to use as intermediate consist cars with some modifications by eliminating the cab to increase seating capacity. They have severed their design purpose very well and having a few extra cars because of high ridership demand makes sense until the new replacements for the Amfeet 1/2 are place into inventory.

      @@Stanf954 As Mr. Marshmellow noted, the time and expense of modification vastly outweighs any benefits in the hopefully (sadly) few years they have left before retirement.
      The Metroliners are the last Pre-Amtrak equipment still in revenue service. It will be a sad day indeed to see them go.
