- This is the last HHP-8, AMTK 655, that I ever saw in service. As you can see, it was for the best. The wheels were slipping, the paint was chipped, the motor was having lots of trouble getting moving, and the bell was totally off kilter. Eventually, this was the final Amtrak HHP-8 to be retired on November 7, 2014. 651 was retired shortly before that.

This must have been one of 655's last runs. Hell, 651 was in better shape when Amtrak retired it a month after this video was taken.
When hhp8 got wheel slip that causing problems
Amtrak: Well.... back to the old drawing board!
Didn't see any problems there. Too bad there gone, those were my favorites, soon you'll see no variety on the NEC just nothing but Sprinters. It blasted you too with that awesome horn :-). Glad you caught it
Hey monica
yea the sprinters are fine but i would like to see some more variety.
The wheels
hhp 8 comes back as npcu! keystone / regional service
Like stuff was when it was basically just the AEM-7? Also while the HHP-8 looked cool, they were maintenance nightmares and cost WAY too much to keep running annually
Amtrak's Intercity HHP-8s were complete failures because of wheel slips, cab signals malfunctioning, and having trouble switching voltages. MARC's Commuter HHP-8s were given a second chance with rebuilds and refurbishment in 2018.
This must be the most popular video of the hhp8 out there
what an interesting wheel slip sound.
Also Amtrak hhp8 #659 will be taken by Amtrak p42dc #145 to the Virginian museum of transportation On roanoke, VA
Beautiful Lokomotive!
I saw some the other day is amtraks Wilmington yard! (Also there are Aem-7s there!)
And the sparks will fly!
I bet you're soul litterally left your body for half a second when you jumped at the trains horn.
Now there Testing on the Keystone corridor & When they’ll Re-Enter service they’ll serve as Cabcars Till the Arios Operate & Replace them again
horn sounds funny

Budder Shark don't say that and one will be restored and it's 690 from willmington, DA and it will have a new speed limit and it will be up to 220mph and also it can travel from 125mph or 140mph to 210mph and it will run again on April of 2020 and it Will be the fastest hhp8 On Amtrak and also it will travel 210mph in kingston, RI and it slows down at the bend at 150mph and at midnight in New Jersey when the acela reached 170mph it goes from 125mph to 210mph and also Iin larchmount, ny it can reach from 89mph to 145mph and soon when I'm in 10th grade in west hill high school I will see the hhp8 690 passing old derian, ct from 75mph to 110mph and it will slow down at the bend at 75mph and people from stratford, ct will see it going going from 80mph to 140mph north and also it will slow down when it goes up the hill at 150mph to 147mph and it's slows down when it passes the station at 140mph to 125mph and when it approaches the bend at 90mph and people from old saybrook, will see it passing it from 130mph to 180mph and it will pass Kingston station at 210mph and Evan mansfield, MA and also it will pass Stamford, ct at 20mph
Why didn’t Amtrak just refurbish their hhp-8s like Marc?
because they were terrible
@@Zeffers716 that’s not a reason
it is actually lmao why waste money on repairing failing locomotives when there's new ones
@@Zeffers716 Because you can still get some use out of them with an overhaul. And technically Amtrak didn't retire their HHP-8s, they're just in storage
Amtrak only leased these units and the lease is up the same time the Acelas are up, 2022.
Well, it had better days...
LOL
Hhp8 #655 needs to be displayed in the Virginian museum of transportation In Roanoke, VA for 4 years Until 2021 until it's restoration
There being used as npcu can cars until the venture cab cars are delivered
HHP-8s are extinct on amtrak but MARC run 2 of them on the penn line
They own 6
I think that hissing sound was the motor or the air operated bell
Your video was excellent! Can I use it on my channel? I'll acknowledge your work in the video and description.
Yeah that’d be fine. I’m just curious about what kind of video it will be. Looking over your channel, I don’t see any train content, just cars?
First of all, thank you!)
I want to show my viewers situations of wheel slipping in locomotives.@@Zeffers716
And what if 655 was repainted into shore line east scheme and it p's speedmometer will be up to 185MPH and what if it traveled 170MPH un Princeton junction and hailmilton, NJ
you high or something
@Zeffers716 he’s having a stroke
@@raritanbayrailfan2558 3 week old comment wow amazing i think imma have a stroke myself brb
Hhp8 wheelslip is a major problem.
Wait, what if HHP-8 #655 would made it's final run on November of 2014 then on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day from 2014-2015, HHP-8 #655 & 651 would run 170MPH not Princeton junction & hailmilton, NJ from Boston to Elizabeth and return
Return
@AnasiaCameronElijah EDCP NDCP why are you having a stroke when typing
How many coaches also I saw sparks under the wheels
0:31 I'm going to use this video to do use the Thomas break sound S1 variant and do the ACS-64, the S5 variant
I thought 651 was the last HHP-8 to be retired...
I can't remember
Zeffers716 how many HHP8s exist TELL me
@@AmityBlightAndSP4449Fan I think it's 21 - 15x Amtrak and 6x MARC
