- READ FIRST:
All action between the hours of 0940 and 1225. The main focus of this jaunt to the Airport station is to see the final Circus Train hand-off from Norfolk Southern to Amtrak, so naturally, we see some non-Amtrak trains in this video, including a single NJT Arrow III train, because I can't get enough of those lmao. Enjoy the action =)
Watch all the Circus Train action (NS, AMTK, & LIRR): • [HD 60fps] Chasing The...
I'm impressed that two ACS-64's can pull that whole train.
Anthony Pecoraro yup they are powerful
Anthony Pecoraro they are not pulling they take electricity from the overhead wires then transfer it to the rest of the train making each car push itself, meaning in theory one of the acs-64 can pull an infinite number or cars.
@@mrbrainbob5320 ur wrong do ur research.
Yeah, 8,000 HP each, so a pair of them would be 16,000 HP.
@@CaptainTransit wait, i thought their number indicated their horsepower. So they arent 6400hp?
Omg, what are you filming with? The zoom is magnificent 😱
It was funny when the people on the platform watched the circus train go along and then the acela that was coming blasts its horn and grabs the peoples attention.
The first and probably the last time an Amtrak sprinter will pull freight.
not the first time
Fan Railer is correct. Until mid 2000's I heard that Southwest Chief had mail, which I think counts as freights
I doubt that; do you realize how much scutwork AMTRAK locos do that is indirectly related merely to things like passenger service - but does NOT involve pulling passenger trains itself? (Some of it has shown up in videos involving the NEC.) Because some of the Sprinters are Diesel-Electric - NOT straight electric (therefore no need for caternaries), some of these same Sprinters are useful for that. I'm actually expecting that - at some point - some of the DE Sprinters will start being used for "ferry" service as older DEs retire. (The MDOT Sprinter(s) are used for "ferry" service between Ivy City and Bear (the ends of MARC Penn Line service) - notice that I said MDOT - not MARC (I've even mentioned seeing it @ Ivy City; that's what it is, in fact, for.).
There’s also the Fast Mail which no longer runs. They had an AEM-7 pull a short train of boxcars along the NEC.
@@PGHammer21A Sprinters are Electric. Chargers are Diesel-Electric. Diesel-Electric just means that it uses electricity to start the prime mover.
awesome man haven't seen 642 in so long
My favorite amtrack train is the keystone train but the inbound side
I've never seen those stripes on rear cars before. Is that something new?
am74343 they are old metroliners turned into cab cars
So why were amtrak locos hauling the circus train
rip
I was just on that ACS-64 642 from the thumbnail
Wow! the circus train was awesome!
19:29 freight train going over the NEC
Far from surprising; I've seen more than a few CSX (therefore freight - not passengers) merely between DC and Baltimore. While there are sections of the NEC that SELDOM see freight (the northern Connecticut section and the Rhode Island section, for example); there are reasons for that - those sections are more like the rail equivalent of US 1; single-tracked in each direction; not dual-tracked in each direction, like the majority of the NEC; the equivalent of an Interstate. The Philadelphia-DC section I am "intimately" familiar with - having travelled along it much - first between 1978-1980, then in 2000; it's the rail equivalent of Interstate 95. (In addition to AMTRAK and commuter rail, it also sees LOTS of freight - and mostly CSX at that.) Look at the videos of the NEC north of NYC - and compare them to the videos merely between NYC and Philly. NYC and Philly are like between Philly and DC; Interstate 95's rail equivalent - therefore, lots-o-freight; not JUST lots-o-commuter rail (though there's plenty-o-that, too). There also isn't as much of the NEC in some states (Connecticut, for example) shared with commuter rail - compare southern Connecticut and northern Connecticut with each other. I am COMPLETELY unfamiliar with the NEC north of Philadelphia; I have never used any of it. (The same applies to the Keystone Corridor west of Exton, PA.) That means I studied the footage of those unfamiliar sections with an eye toward differences with the southern section of the NEC - in addition to similarities. There is very little in terms of similarities between the northern section of the NEC compared to the central OR southern sections of the NEC - which are the most alike. (I have not seem a *cab ride* video - in either direction - of the MA sector of the NEC - so I can compare it to the rest of it; I suspect it will be most like the northern CT sector, as opposed to either the central OR southern sectors - despite all that T (MBTA).)
Awesome video!
The ex metroliner cabs are in tsw i love them nice catch
7:55 nice horn salute!
Nice to see that 642 was a part of it!
5:16 I never saw those Amtrak engines. The red one
BnsfRail4736 642 the veterans unit
P42DC 42 also has this paint scheme
Miles Campbell and NPCUs 90221 and 90208.
There was a PO/P42 version of this, I didn't think they were going to release it
Oh my. Impressive. Did I correctly count 37, yes, THIRTY-SEVEN passenger cars? How long was that train, 2 miles?
Jim Kerr compared to what we get on freight trains in the US that's nothing. We have 250+ car trains up here. 37 again is nothing.
Jim Kerr England is my city
Ah, yes. With freight trains, that's no surprise!! Those monster freights can be miles long. I live right along the Northeast Corridor, and seeing a train of 37+ passenger cars is highly irregular!
Jim Kerr where along the NEC I live near hamilton station.
when does this train come?
Location -> Newark Liberty International Airport
that veterans train was fucking sick
What's up with that buzzer that goes off when every train leaves?
Also, I counted that the circus train has 60 cars! That's longer than the Amtrak Auto Train!
Great video. 2:13--front pantograph is up. Unusual.
Nice catch on the circus train.
ACS-64 must have replaced the HHP 8's as well, they had similar numbers to these locos
Yes. The hhp-8s ran alongside the acs 64 for a bit so they remembered the hhp-8s
Is that train delivering the new train?
Excellent coverage
Why couldn't they just use the engines that pulled the circus train there, the rest of the way.
Because diesels pulled it to that point. They have to use electric trains in the underground section through New York City which is a few miles away.
@@ap70621 in case they went trough Manhattan
23:03What the hell does that buzzer mean?
I honestly had no idea that two ACS-64s could pull a 60 car freight train.
One of them has more than enough HP to pull 60 cars. However, they are not built like heavy freight units, so they are lacking in adhesive weight to really get down an pull tonnage.
Who knew you could see number 642 for 23 mins without it leaving out of view
Cool video!
I love the bells
no ditch lights ?
good chatch on the power move
Damn that freight had 60 cars I think
Ok thanks
3:24 thats awsome
Yep
Well at least the Acela didn’t steal the show
As an animal lover, I'm glad to see that circus shut down. I just hope that the animals are well cared for as long as they're alive.
Cats01 Fuck you
Most of them are probably euthanized by now, after being YANKED from the only families, including other animals as well as people they knew. Thank you very much, PETA Bambi lovers. You got what you wished for: Dead pets.
Cats01 You must have watched Dumbo and seen how they cruelly separated Dumbo from his mother.
Most importantly, THERE’S NO MORE CIRCUS TRAIN
@ Crossbuck Productions, I concur.
I saw an acs64 at Secaucus
661 and 642
On express track
Ringling Brothers train 60 cars
2 acs4 jeteren
i litterally thought this was train sim world
Really? It seems real
That friggin bell that every American train sounds is such a pain in the "ears".. and back side...! WHy do American's need a loud bell on their trains...?
FalconXE302 it's to warn people of an approaching train in a quiet zone
I say the same about European trains horns
