- Volume 2 of a collection of Amtrak run-bys along the Northeast Corridor between Phila and Trenton. Phase III, IV, and V AEM-7s, E60s, brand new HHP8s and HSELs made for a varied and enjoyable time. Filmed by my Dad with an over-the-shoulder VHS camcorder (and a few zoom-happy shaky ones by my young teenage self) while my younger brother and I watched and became lifelong railfans. Enjoy!

10:11 One of the best HHP-8 Horns i ever Heard!
It's quite impressive that the E60CP electric locomotives we're able to hold on until the early 2000s before finally being retired
These were E60MAs at the time. The CPs were steam equipped, and most were retired when the first AEM-7s came.
It’s not the E60CP lol
0:33 Somehow a K5LA managed to find it’s way on to an E60
Alex Paumen E60 #600 and #610 sported K5LAs during the latter part of their careers.
Well I was not expecting a k5la I thought I was going to hear a PO1 Nathan horn
That was #610 I saw the number plate
11:58
I like that some of the amfleet cars had the Acela colors on the line where the windows are
I like red white blue stripes. New ones are ugly.n boring.
Yes. That's beacuse, Amtrak had their Acela regional. They where mostly pulled by then the new HHP8 engines and those Amfleet cars was bussines class only. So Amtrak painted the Amfleets the same color as the Acela to show that was an Acela Regional train. Basically. Amtrak shortly dropped the Acela Regional after only a few years beacuse the HHP8s where terrible and problematic engines and well, they didn't sell alot of tickets on the Acela Regional.
Excellent documentary, those few years 2000-2003 were interesting since one could see 5 different electric locomotives on the Corridor, Acela, Jersey Arrows, Silverliners II, III and IV. Biggest variety of electric power since Conrails unfortunate shut down of electrics two decades earlier.
45:36 Oh yeah! GE's on the NEC.
*breaks wall* OH YEAH!
P42 #127. My favorite locomotive. I have never seen it so fresh and clean!
Yep I called it to
Genesis does what nintendon't
For some reason, the E-60 clips (with horns) are the most satisfying. Proper E-60 horn @ 6:46. Also @ 9:15. So what if they didn't go 125MPH due to tracking issues above 90MPH? It took two AEM-7's to pull what one E-60 could on what was once territory worked by T-1's, E-44's, and GG-1's.
Wow, nice to know about the GG1 etc, like those very much.
What about just being on time?
The other E60 I heard was so scary I jumped when I heard it
E-60s weren’t the best locos. They could pull more than the aem-7s, sure, but the e-60s were nowhere as reliable as the aem-7s. They were also double the weight of an optimum passenger loco, and would yaw sideways when they would accelerate, placing a lot of stress on the rails. They also detailed twice during testing, so I’m not sure how they even got into service…
Those E60’s were amazing!
its nice to see the good old times of the northeast corridor long before the ACS-64 was build great work on this video
Awesome video. There is a nice mix of different coaches on this one. I run a lot of different Amtrak consists on our HO scale layout. I even made a custom cab car.
24 March 2001: My 21st birthday!!! However, I was unable to go out and properly celebrate, because my college graduation happened to be the NEXT MORNING. RIP E60.
I bet you enjoyed your first drink of alcohol too
If I sound rude im sorry I dont mean it to be that way
im happy im still watching this video in 2019, makes me think back of how Amtrak equipment use to be in the early 2000s, i miss those different paint schemes of the AEM-7s i wish a few of those were still running up and down on the northeast corridor line or at least being used for test trains or special trains. misss the different paint schemes of the Amtrak coaches too, i was born in Feburary 1990 i miss the late 90s & the 2000s
Holy Cow you guys got to film from inside Frankford Junction in Philly. Way cool! Never seen anyone film from there before. The yard is very different now a shadow of its former self and most industries it served have closed.
I love the ruby action, ESPECIALLY when the 3 car KEYSTONES run by, you just know he's flying by.....
Great catch!
29:03 E60 and p40dc
28:16 Arrow IIIs in the rain...nothing better. In my college days (only a couple years after this) I loved to ride in the vestibules that were really not-in-use cabs, because unlike the married pair vestibules they let in a ton of wind and, on wet days, a bit of rain, too. It felt like you were going easily twice as fast as you really were through the tunnels out of Penn Station and across the Meadowlands.
Amtrak should bring the old logo back.
Woah- a K5LA on an E60? I’ve never seen that before
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AWESOME BRIAN 👍👍
Wow those E60 trainsets are quite long, also I never knew (until now) that amtrak has boxcars.
they would typically carry mail since amtrak was scrap for money. However freight railroads didn't like having amtrak trains pulling freight since they were taking away their business. They went to court and amtrak had to put a end to all freight services
I was 10 days old when the first clips in this video were recorded
Ben, steam engine was at Wilmington DE station. It was part of an Amtrak event.
,,,,,,,,awesome,,,,,,,,,,thanks.........................
Did anyone ever notice that the E60 at 0:20 has a K5LA and not P01235? I found it kinda strange
The original horn was probably so fouled and there was no replacement horn so they put a k5la on it
9:14 and this one has a normal p5
Nobody noticed the E60 pulling a P40 thru princeton junction? That was so fuckin cool
brand new HHP-8s are seen in this video shame they were so unreliable that amtrak got rid of them near the end of 2014
As of now, Amtrak has begun a rebuild program on their HHP-8 Locomotives the same way they rebuilt their F40PH locomotives in the early 2000s The rest of the HHP-8 electrics are being rebuilt into NPCU units and like the F40s the prefix number 90 will be added in front of their existing number
Supposedly they’re gonna do that to the P42s too, to retire the F40 ones
@@THEFINALHAZARD now that would be interesting I hope that will actually happen if we are to continue to see the genesis locomotives rule for Amtrak they should do exactly what they did to the F40PH and HHP-8 locomotives before them I think they would be very great candidates for nonpowered control units because of their aerodynamic French Monocoque design all they would have to do is remove the prime mover add some weight but it would still be lightweight and fast I was six years old and I was in Fort Worth Texas I remember seeing the heartland flyer that had one F40 converted NPCU and surprisingly there was another F40PH but one that was still an operation One briefing I remember was when they had to reposition the heartland flyer when both 21 and 22 the Texas Eagle were to arrive they had to reposition the heartland flyer onto track one and I remember hearing the notch sounding wind on the rear pushing F40PH my only true memory of an original Amtrak screamer
@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan that’s awesome!!! Yeah here’s hoping they do and don’t just toss them aside like they did with my favorite, the F59PHI
What was the train with the E60 and P42?
I wish amtrak procure more strong locomotive for northeast corridor a next generation to city sprinter
Did I see a Acela engine pulling regular a fleet cars twice ?
the good days
21:11 my favorite
0:32 You don't normally see E60s with K5LAs
29:01 rare catch
Amtrak train from the 80s
I've never seen a train made up of 7 Capstone liver Amfleets and only 1 phase 4.
Shave and a haircut, two bits! 10:50
Rest in peace E60s 1974 - 2003
Its actually 1967-2003.
What do you mean they were made in 74
Oh right because the e60 thanks for reminding me bro
E60c
16:08 that's Nico Yazawa's birthday
Hello, fellow Love Liver! XD
@@RedCard94 hello
That e60 had a k5la
where did you see that steam engine
I remember the journey between Penn station to Washington in the old Metroliner, 1994....
What about that small attention getter called on time performance?
Three rivers at 0:20, 16:11, 18:47, 25:35, 29:01, 43:26,
16:57 best p5
Push pull Coaches also
43:48 and this was like 8 days before it happened.
I know what you mean bro
The innocence of the 90's was completely destroyed after that day
0:33 It's pretty rare when E60MA using K5LA instead of P01235
0:34 an E60 with a K5LA?
should have made that more often LOL
I mean 9:16 was a P5A
A K5LA on an E60?
Strange
Thats The vomonter
like train
I Love the Pennsylvania Railroad and Amtrak, but cpered to the NYC, the Locomotives and the coaches never seem to match.
10:11 when I was little I was watching this video that horn used to scare me so Much and it made me cry 😭 but now I’m brave.
41:08, 41:37, 49:48, 53:11 and 22:01 🙌🙌
9:15 The most creepiest po1235 nathan
