As a big fan of North American freight electrification, I very much appreciated seeing the Black Mesa & Lake Powell footage. Very few are willing to venture so far off the beaten path to capture that isolated operation.
sad they had to close down. the irony in the fact that it was transport for a coal operated power plant - clean electric trains for a very polluting power plant
As an old born and raised Chicagoan now living half-a-century in Germany, I surely appreciate seeing electric rail lines in the US. But I was only acquainted with them personally in Chicago and vicinity, and I only recognized the South Shore Line and some Metras; all the others and their localities I'd not seen before. I was especially mystified with the way some of them went down the middle of residential streets with their 3-4 chime air horns in full cry (I grew up with them, so they're in my blood, but the neighborhoods must cry the blues!), and where in the wide-open countryside those electric freights were. As someone else remarked here, Germany is far in advance of the USA in this respect, although Germany is universally in bad need of repair. JAT
@@chris-8597 Then why are you here? Lmfao Don't tell me your ass went through all the trouble to go to a train video to comment that lol. If you did just that then get a life, if you are seriously watching this on your own time them shut up, and stop being a hypocrite. That's babe❤
You caught some nice action of electric locomotives in nearly every part of America! 10:24 I thought the south shore (and Metra) bi-level cars always rain in pairs! but this train has 5 cars! 12:39 that horn sounds nice! even though it only has one chime working! 13:32 Nice catch of a single-ended electric! I think the Black Mesa and Lake Powell are retiring the single -ended locos! I just saw AEM7s 942 and 928 on the Southwest chief yesterday! They're heading to the TTC in pueblo!
YAY, electric trains! Here in Germany, most of our major routes are high-speed electric routes, so I'm happy to see some in the US a well! Electric trains are by far my favorite type of train. Keep up the good work! :-)
US has lOOOOONG way to go to match up even to 1/2 of German railroads. problem is in germany- raqilroad is government owned- DB- freight and Passenger. same in france, UK, Russia, ect. In USA railroads owned by private companies, and theyare not too interestedd in investing in electrified FUTURE of railroads. Their tracks are terribly banged up, especially in long distance routes.
"Thank you for being supportive and not making fun of us like other Europeans" To me (as a European), it's probably some sort of inferiority complex. "Hey, you do almost everything better than we, but at least we have better trains!" Or something of the sort. 😉 You cannot really compare railways in the USA to those in Europe. The 1435 mm width (forgot what it is in feet and inches) is about the only thing they have in common. You can sail around Europe (there are seas to the south, the west and the north), you can sail through Europe (major rivers go from the North Sea to the Black Sea), so a lot of cargo is moved by ship. Also, railway companies are still largely state-owned, and their cargo divisions used to be inefficient, so either they collapsed or got bought by Deutsche Bahn Cargo, which is now a very large world-wide transport company. State ownership also means that the state can decide to build high-speed railways with taxpayers' money. They /do/ have economic benefits, as can be witnessed by the economic region created between Denmark and Sweden with the Øresund bridge and tunnel, but using the word "tax" in the USA and not putting "lower" immediately before it, means that your political career has come to an end. Then there are the distances in the USA. Electrification is expensive, and the USA is a /really/ large country. Having said that, the Russians have completely electrified the Trans-Siberian Railway, and that is considerably longer than the longest possible distance in the lower 48. But again, state ownership. Finally, freight will always take precedence over passenger traffic in the USA. In Europe, it's the other way around, except on dedicated freight routes, such as the one going from Rottterdam in the Netherlands to Germany. The result is low passenger numbers. It's a bit comparing apples to oranges, because Amtrak is largely for long distances, but Amtrak, supposedly serving a country of over 300 million people, has just over 30 million passengers a year. CFL, the Luxembourg railway company, a country of just half a million people, has just over 20 million passengers a year.
digimaks I don't live in the US but I do know that their passenger service is owned by the government. In the 70s they amalgamated all of the private companies into the government owned entity called Amtrak. The regional governments also set up their own commuter/regional brails lines too. Like Amtrak, they are owned by some form of government. The UK on the other hand has actually privatized all of their railways and now they're owned by a mish mash of private companies. I'm originally from the UK and have experience with British trains. As far as the US needing a long way to go to match Europe railroads, I will give you that one. The US is substantially behind
Most of what little electrified lines we have in the US are owned or controlled by some govt or quasi-govt agency, whether it's Amtrak or a local commuter rail agency. However the vast majority of the US rail network is owned by private companies, and there is little incentive for them to electrify, since they'd end up paying higher property taxes since electrification is considered an asset. In fact several North American mainlines have been de-electrified since WWII since selling off the copper and reducing property taxes made too much economic sense. Black Mesa and Lake Powell is sort of an exception since it exists purely to haul coal to a huge power station, so there's a ton of cheap electricity available and it's in an area where hauling in diesel is fairly expensive. In Europe the tax issue doesn't arise since most of the rail infrastructure is owned in some way shape or form by the government. If the US govt every took it into its head to make rail electrification tax-exempt, you might see a lot more of it.
"Thanks for watching!" No, thank you for such an amazing video. The 40 minutes and 19 seconds I spent watching this, was a great investment into my time and knowledge. I had no idea the United States had this many Electrified commuter trains. I just knew MARC, Amtrak, and NJ Transit operated some in the NE corridor. Also, I had no Idea Metro North was a RR, in TS 2017, I bought the Kawasaki Metro North train set and thought that was the name of it.
Thank you for putting so much work into this channel. My son is a huge fan of your videos and is always excited when he sees you've added a new one.

Love to see the top of both electric locos or EMU's and watch pantographs collecting power from the catenary, making sparks and voltaic archs in special, the catenary system itself, the sustaining poles, gantries, isolators, substations, boosters, switches....Electric trains are my favourites. Thanks for sharing and posting. Greets fm Brazil
This video was a welcome diversion from the North American diesel hauled freight railroad, and gives a good overview of different railroads that are active in passenger transport and the types of locomotives, trains and DMUs they operate (sadly the ASEA locomotives are history). The film makes clear to me, as an European, that at least the most populated part of the whole of the US in the North East has a passenger rail transport system that looks to what we are used to over here, trains running very frequent with good average speeds for the type of service they are operating in. In freight operations electrics are more an oddity now, local operations like the Iowa Traction, or specialized operations like the NdeM (was this formerly known as the Mesa Railroad?) coal trains. A very positive comment can be made about the stations along these passenger lines, they are very welcoming looking places without the ugliness of many stations and halts in paticularly the UK, with an overkill of adverts, bright colors and ugly 1950's and 60's buildings looking rundown, your stations instead have a very calming visual impact with nice architecture and toned down colors. Liked that part of street running, looked like a streetcar on steroids!
MS&T Subway & Rail Videos + Right electrifying Busy lines or coal lines will allow higher horsepower locomotives on to trains csx should consider electrifying the pope’s creek branch it carries heavy coal loads and passes on the NEC which is electric.

Bro! YOU need to make ,,Electric Trains Galore 2!" That would be AMAZINGLY perfect! Hope you do make it one day. I believe in you! You caaaan do it....
If you someday make ,,Electric Trains Galore 2!", i will IMMEDIATELY give that/the video a like! Go ahead! 😉🗣(This emoji: 🗣,is NOT yelling, just, well talking ,, Keep it up, bro!", said someone:🗣)
I'll be honest. Up until this video, I didn't even know the Black Mesa & Lake Powell Railroad existed (given it's isolated, I'm not too surprised)! But hey! This is great! We have electric interurban freight in Iowa, and heavy electric unit trains in Arizona! Not to mention the original E60C's with their single cabs! I was squeeing at that!
Very nicely done! Nobody can at all forget about the South Shore when it comes to electric trains! :D As for Metra, just missing the South Chicago Branch.
I know, right? The Little Joes are pretty impressive. Though I think "Big Joe" would be a more accurate name. As for the South Chicago Branch on the Metra, if you plan to do that, do be careful because South Chicago isn't the best of neighborhoods. In fact, you'll definitely want to keep your eyes open. Same thing next time on the Blue Island Branch, Blue Island sadly isn't the best of areas either.
Metra MP36 407 They are called little Joes because they were ordered for the USSR under Joesph Stalin during the Cold War and they were built for 5' gauge and our railroads have a little gauge compared to that.
@@MidwestrailfanvlogsandgamingIt’s progress. It’s not a tragedy. If we never replaced trains for sentimental purposes then we would be stuck with the Rocket.
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, wait a minute dude. How did you get this rare electric train shots? Amtrak Acela, I'm familiar with those. But Electric train on the streets, in the neighborhood, and around the block. And even NdeM in Mexico? Now those E-train you don't see everyday. I'm suprise the NdeM don't run on BNSF rails. Do correct me if I'm wrong. This is fascinating. Keep it up.
Although electric locomotives are wonderful, a freight locomotive needs to be heavy for adhesion. And yes, I hope the big 4 get on electrification, making their lines double track, and using concrete ties and welded rails.
By chance, are those locomotives on that one railroad still in their Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México livery as of today? Also, remind me, which railroad is that again? All I know is that it's an isolated railroad somewhere in the Southwest.
You should honeslty get more of the AEM-7's (and ALP-44M) by 2018 (their final year) Seems you got the 3 common ones (2301,2303 & 2308). I know as of recently, 2304 already failed and is probably not going to be reapired as it is so close to the replacement date.

Awsome video rip amtrack aem 7 Btw i had no clue the the north shore line had double decker cars!
You should honeslty get more of the AEM-7's (and ALP-44M) by 2018 (their final year)
Seems you got the 3 common ones (2301,2303 & 2308). I know as of recently, 2304 already failed and is probably not going to be reapired as it is so close to the replacement date.
