3:00 Not sure if someone pointed this out before, but minor nitpick on my part: Amtrak *never* had E6's or E7's. They only had E8's and E9's. Other than that, good video.
The E-44 was intended for MOW servicw. They were built between 1960 and 1963 by GE for the Pennsylvania Railroad and were the last freight electrics built for the Pennsy. They lasted until 1981 in freight service for Pennsy, Penn Central, and Conrail. NJT purchased two for passenger service and then never used them. They sat stored at the former CNJ Elizabethport Shops until being scrapped. 502, now at the RRMPA is PRR 4465, the last one built and thankfully is a survivor of the electric empire the PRR built and wanted.
@@Thelefevrefever I've got it on my bucket list to come over to the US just to ride on Amtrak and do their major routes, like the Empire Builder, the California Zephyr, and etc. So, from what I've seen on TH-cam of Amtrak's routes, you blokes have some pretty amazing scenery.
Don’t see the GG1 on here which I’d argue is one of the coolest electric locos and had one of the best looking Amtrak liveries they had ever put to an engine.
What about the E and F Units of old (yes they were old by then and had mechanical issues due to being neglected but rebuilt could have been extremely good).
One thing i prefer about this video is that The Thumbnail IMO is a little bit Better Then AmtrakGuy365s Thumbnail for his Amtrak Tier List video However I'm Australian so IDC about your picks
I wonder why you went and put SNCF CC2100 in the S tier which was known as the X996 back in the 1970s? Amtrak should have also gone into West Germany for their DB Baureihe 110.3 103 120 as GG1 replacements.
You put the chargers in the higher tiers, who hurt you? And the AEM-7 in A tier while the French loco used for testing (that it sucked at) is in S tier? Why?!?!
LOL. I don’t regret some of my opinions, so that is why I’m planning to release an updated version with a few more locomotives that I missed, as well as make some changes to my previous selections. Thanks for Watching!! 🚂
You’re missing some MOW and switching locomotives. In addition, you call the GP7 an SD7, which is not correct. The “44 tonner” is actually an 80 tonner, but that’s an easy mistake to make.
@@ThelefevrefeverSure thing. You’re missing some completely regular GP40s that Amtrak leased from Helm Leasing due to an acute power shortage. Nothing different from a regular GP40 except slightly higher gearing and HEP pass through. I didn’t see CF7s, SW1s, or ALCO S-series switchers either.
in what world is the SDP40F better than the LRC? the LRC cars still make up the backbone of VIA's fleet to this day, and are leagues better than amfleet, it absolutely worked in canada, regardless of the minor issues with the tilting system. Also the LRC cars were eventually developed into the Acela cars, so the same argument that applied to the turbotrain should apply to the LRC.
The tier list is of locomotives and in the LRC case I only rated the locomotives(I did not at first know the cars where specialized). Also this is an option filled video and an Amtrak list, I did not account for VIA. LRC is now only D Tier.
Edit: EMD F40PH should be an automatic S TIER.
Can't believe Amtrak had so many locos.great video!
Thanks for Watching!!
From 1971-2023
10:26 the North Carolina livery is my fav
The Swiss 🇨🇭 did not make any Locomotives for Amtrak so far. The RC-4 is Swedish 🇸🇪 😉

Awesome! Thanks for the info! And Thanks for Watching!!
The F40ph and the E8s are my favorite model of the train to watch and to draw a picture of
Awesome, Thanks for Watching!!
Well, its all good fun, and at least you get a good laugh out of it. And I enjoyed your video.👍
Thanks for Watching!!

@@Stephen8601 That sounds like a fun time!

Go Back to 2:22 and you should see the section where I talk about the GG1. Thanks for Watching!
@@Thelefevrefeverjeez I’m blind lol. Great video
It's alright. Thanks for Watching!!
The RC-4’s were Swedish, not Swiss
🤦♂️ Oops, my bad. Thanks for Watching!!
Seeing pyou out the Avila in trash compactor for a second before saying nah I’m joking was about to have me goin
LOL! Thanks for Watching!! 🚂
Cool video and channel just subscribed
Awesome, Thanks for Watching!! 🚂
What about the E and F Units of old (yes they were old by then and had mechanical issues due to being neglected but rebuilt could have been extremely good).
At 2:55 I ranked EMD E units and a little bit later I ranked F Units. Thanks for Watching!!

That thing is horrible because it doesn’t deal with American tracks but it was really rough.
You forgot the test X2000 too, just like he did.
Yup, I realize that, and like some other locomotives that I forgot to record the video, I rank them in the description. Thanks for Watching!!
We can all agree that the Dash-8, F40 and Genesis are S Teir
👍
SC-44s are underappreciated and underrated. Glad they're getting some love.
TRUE. they have been for only some years and they are iconic. Coaster and ACE already use them
I subed cause there was the p30ch its one of my favourite locomotives
Awesome Choice! Thanks for Watching!!
Good tier list really great
Thank You so much!!
@@Thelefevrefever no problem

the fact that you said they were bad dude is not helping they were actually amazing in Canada
The LRC did have some issues with locking in the tilted position after curves. Thanks for Watching!!

Thanks can you list any specific make/models that I’m missing. And yes, I realize I misslabeled the SD7
@@ThelefevrefeverSure thing. You’re missing some completely regular GP40s that Amtrak leased from Helm Leasing due to an acute power shortage. Nothing different from a regular GP40 except slightly higher gearing and HEP pass through.
I didn’t see CF7s, SW1s, or ALCO S-series switchers either.
What about GE p-32
It was there. I just used its actual designation of Dash 8 32-BWH at 14:07. Thanks for Watching!! 🚂

Let’s Go!!! 🚂🚂🎊
LRC go instantly the S tier
That gp38 Pepsi doesn’t exist…
🧐 Wait a Second. Hmmmmmm. Your right! Thanks for Watching!!
F40ph saved passenger railroading.
Where is the gold tier?
I did remaster this video one year later if you want to check out my more informed opinions. Thanks for Watching!! 🚂
@@Thelefevrefever ah, ill check it out
Blud but e60 in scraping yard they had the best horn ever
Good to know. Thanks for Watching!!
The only one I agree with is the p42 lol
Good to know! Thanks for Watching!!

8:10 It’s just my opinion but I dont like the F69PHAC the face just looks weird
It is very interesting. Thanks for Watching!!
@@Thelefevrefever I mean I don’t hate them but i just think they look kinda goofy
@@Jimmytheamtrakf40ph 👍
Sdp40-2f is were it belongs
Do onion paci
lol like Popeye the Sailor?
Amtrak Ice train and Flex liner test train
ICE 1 is rated in the description of the video, but thanks for bringing your attention to the flex liner train. Flexliner - C Tier
👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂
Thanks for Watching!!
E60 is best 60
At 1:27 and 6:11
Im pretty sure thats a GP7 or GP9, not an SD7 and not an SD9
🤦♂️Shoot, you are right! Thanks for pointing that out. GP’s are four axle and SD’s are six axle. And Thanks for Watching!!🚂
LRC are better than the F40.
How is that possible?

Worst Teir list.
