Beautiful compellation video once again of all the passenger trains from this area of the country. Enjoyed watching and have a wonderful rest of your Friday.(Steve)
A fantastic video, love these loco combinations and the different train sets, as well as these very nice film locations. Excellently filmed. Have a nice weekend and greetings from Germany
Congratulations for all the work done around this beautiful passion! I watch your videos from France and it's always so entertaining as usual! Keep up the good work! Terry ! ;)
Thanks for the vid sir - those are good looking trainsets, love the slab sides. I know lots of folks like the green/brown/cream scheme but that silver is sexy too.
Not to veer to far from the topic, but I distinctly remember going to the Seattle Amtrak station to pickup my grandma with my parents when I was 5. The locomotive at the time always seemed to be a black and silver EMD F40PH. I didn't think much of them at the time, but I have an eye for them now because of that fond memory of going to pick up my grandma. There seems to be quite a few in this video.
Yes, the former F40PH locomotives in this video were turned into cab control cars about 20 years ago, most of them specifically for the Cascades service. They had their engines and other associated components removed and a number of them received roll up doors on the side for baggage storage.
Following the December 2017 accident in DuPont, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found a design flaw in the Talgo VI sets, which ultimately led to their retirement. Horizon cars are acting as a temporary replacement, however in 2021, the real replacement was found in the form of the Siemens Airo trainsets, which were unveiled in December 2022. These sets are scheduled to begin arriving in 2025, and will enter service on the Cascades route in 2026. In addition, it was recently revealed that 2 more SC-44s will be joining the Cascades fleet as part of this new order.
All the Series 6 Talgos have now been scrapped. They have new Airo cars on order that will be arriving in 2026. For the time being, the trains will continue to be either Horizon cars or Oregon Series 8 Talgos.
I like the horizons but I wish the talgos could come back but I guess we get 2 horizon trains up here on the northern part since they announced that a second train is coming. (Announced in january but coming in march)
0:00 Man I miss AMTK 822 and it’s K5LA. Although I think it got a RL one not long before it was wrecked. Kind of crazy that it’s still at the Beach Grove shops and that they haven’t scrapped it yet. Nice video though!
Thanks! 822 had its horn replaced a few years before being stored at Beech Grove. It will probably be put up for auction eventually, but not sure when that will be.
They should have never prematurely retired the Talgos, they made the Cascades Majestic, and they blamed them for Amtrak's failure on the Dupont Curve which they never should have done, great video though!
Great video. Is the end locomotive just shut off and pulled along in these consists or are they both running? Sure there's a reason, just seems like excessive power for 3-4 coaches and curious why they have two?
Thanks, Nick! The older locomotive is actually a cab control car, converted from an F40PH type. Amtrak took all the motor and associated components out of the locomotive and on some of them, added a roll up door on the side for baggage storage.
One more round trip between Vancouver BC and Portland, OR should be coming in March and then two more between Seattle and Portland this fall. They're also getting more Horizon cars to increase train length and have additional consists.
These are gonna be replaced in 2026 by the only Siemens Airo trains that not only are the only train sets that don’t have dual mode capabilities but also the only Airo train sets in the western USA.
There are close to 10 of them right now in Los Angeles being prepped for Cascade service. The final round trip is being restored in March and I think they will also be adding cars to some of the trains.

4:04 the sky is beautiful
Many thanks! I really liked how those shots turned out.
Hi
Z -
Pretty cool video of these Horizon Trains that are service from Amtrak.
Thanks, Nathan!
This is a wonderful video! Always like the horizon cars on Amtrak, and I think they are iconic for what services they have done.
Thank you! I'll always have a soft spot for the Horizons. Saw them many times on the San Diegans and then the Surfliners over the years.

Many thanks, Steve! You too.
@@CoasterFan2105 Your welcome and thank you also.
It’s sad that the official cascade cars are gone, but at least the horizons are still being used!
Indeed! And full service returns next month!
I've seen the talgo trains 4 times
Rare sighting
The series 8 Talgo are still in use
Hi mike amstrong
Awesome video with Amtrak Cascades Horizon. Amtrak was best forever. 🙂👍🏻❤️

Many thanks, Terry!
NIce footage! You were just south of me on the Bellingham Sub: I live just 70' from the mainline at MP 98.7. Very nice to see local footage.
Thank you! Yes, literally just around the corner! I pass through that area pretty regularly.
Great videos!
Thank you!

You're very welcome, thanks for watching! I like the old Talgos as well as the Horizon cars. It's neat equipment.
Nice video Mike! Sad to see those coaches leave, but you got some great shots of them!
Thank you! I agree, the Talgos were neat trains.

@@CoasterFan2105 so all of them have been converted and not 1 has been kept as a locomotive?
Amazing footage, as usual!
Thank you!
Awesome catches!
Thank you!
8:41 good it sounded like you got lots of photos there. Awesome scene and crew!
Thanks!
Nice work! Good luck 🤞 👋
Thank you!
Great catches thanks for sharing
And thanks for watching!
Great Video Mike! :)

Will they have the same cab as the SC-44 ones or the ALC 42 style cab?
Great Video Mike!
Thanks!
Great video as always Mike. I miss the series 6 talgos though
Thanks, Sam! I do too.
Nice video my friend👍
Thank you!
Just wait until the Airo trains arrive...
The trains will look much better and not unmatched
Indeed!
First to comment? Wow! Awesome video mike! I loved the shots on this video!
Thank you!
6:15
What are the four rails on the elevated tracks for?
Is it to prevent deviation in case of derailment?
Yes, they are "guard rails", often used on bridges and curves to keep equipment from falling off in the event of a derailment.
great vid I want to see these on the Pacific Surfliner
Thanks! They used to run on Surfliner, but were removed from service there in March of 2020.
do you think they are going to buy more talgos? or will they repaint the horizon cars? or will they fix the talgos that are in beech groove?
They have new Siemens cars on order
All the Series 6 Talgos have now been scrapped. They have new Airo cars on order that will be arriving in 2026. For the time being, the trains will continue to be either Horizon cars or Oregon Series 8 Talgos.
@@CoasterFan2105 Oh my fault. Can't really tell from google satellite
@@RailVisionaries Not a problem!
Wow very cool
Thanks!
No problem
Cascades deserves so much better
Very nice video.
I like the horizons but I wish the talgos could come back but I guess we get 2 horizon trains up here on the northern part since they announced that a second train is coming. (Announced in january but coming in march)
It will definitely be nice to have the other round trip back in March!

From the few photos I've seen of it, it isn't too badly damaged but I doubt it will be fixed and it will most likely be used for spare parts
Very cool👌
Epic video
Thank you!
No problem
wow se good👍
Thanks!
That is awesome!
Thank you!
@@CoasterFan2105 I miss seeing the amfleets on the Lossan corridor a lot. It’s amazing that the Amtrak Cascades horizon trains do.
I like the video and have you a make video of the Northeast Amtrak train 🤔
Thanks, Paul! I've made a couple videos featuring various Amtrak trains in the Northeast, but nothing covering all the trains.
@@CoasterFan2105 ohh ok and I will check the ones that you have done
They should have never prematurely retired the Talgos, they made the Cascades Majestic, and they blamed them for Amtrak's failure on the Dupont Curve which they never should have done, great video though!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!
They were removed due to safety concerns
@@abuBrachiosaurus Ones that didn’t have anything to do with the talgos!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
This Is Great!
Thanks!

Thanks!
Wish the Horizon Cars were saved and preserved for tourist railroads!
That would’ve been great with the Pacific Surfliner Service with Cafe and Coaches Horizon.
Where was the 1st shot recorded?
Davidson Street in Albany, OR.
What happened to Amtrak 90250's left ditch light? And how does this happen sometimes?
do you have any idea what happened to the southern pacific railroad in 1996 🤔
it merged with UP
0:25 the DVT (driving van trailer) is shaking around
Is it just me or do the new Amtrak locomotive have a similar horn to a bright line has
Exact same horn! Brand new Nathan K5LA.
@@CoasterFan2105 okay thanks for the clarification I do not know anything about
Will Amtrak keep the F40 NPCU'S forever???
They’ll be phased out on most trains. The new Siemens cars on order include cab cars.
@@mason7024 Why???
They will be retired from 2026-2030 as they are replaced with new equipment from Siemens-Mobility.
@@CoasterFan2105 What will happen to them then???
@@graphtonix6607 Sold off, most likely for scrap.
Hi
Will you be visiting Chicago again anytime soon?
9:19 amtrak horn
Yasss
I work on these trains ,🥰😍
That's awesome!
What street was the first video?
Oh no the Talgo six coaches are transition and scrapped
We just also like to have another set of a European Talgo coaches
Just like Talgo six
The Series 8 Talgo sets are still in service and will be running on the Cascades at least until 2026.
It will be nice when it is no longer a three trains a day 12 hour mixed service ride. Not much demand for a train that can not average 80 mph.
One more round trip between Vancouver BC and Portland, OR should be coming in March and then two more between Seattle and Portland this fall. They're also getting more Horizon cars to increase train length and have additional consists.
9:02 i just saw the flag of panama...
look closely
oh yeah i saw the flag of estonia...
These are gonna be replaced in 2026 by the only Siemens Airo trains that not only are the only train sets that don’t have dual mode capabilities but also the only Airo train sets in the western USA.
The horizon cars are so uncomfortable due they only have one armrest btw two seats
I thought this guy did reviews of cedar point or a random six flags park because his name says COASTER
Did you look at his profile pic?
@@bennygsstopmotions yes, and I said that on purpose
OMG a Ferromex locomotive a 1:09
Hi mike amstrong
Lots of Horizon cars deadheading on the Southwest Chief recently. It's hard to find an uglier looking car.
There are close to 10 of them right now in Los Angeles being prepped for Cascade service. The final round trip is being restored in March and I think they will also be adding cars to some of the trains.
