@Transporter_Not_Statham I remember they did that for a short time, but I don't remember the reasoning why. On one of my other videos, I have some clips of the Broadway Limited with a Horizon coach as well
@mgzuck It was a HEP generator as far as I know. If you look at the shot In Albany, It seems Rev up, so to speak, as the locomotive throttles up, which is interesting.
19:50 It’s my favorite unit, 203!
These FL-9 dual-mode locomotives were monster activity back in the day on MNRR, Amtrak, and LIRR, too!!!
Brings back a lot of memories
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!
This was excellent! Thanks for sharing
Anytime! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Glad there's more video emerging of the starships (FL9-AC's). Overall they were a failure, but they were definitely little rockets!
At the time i was disappointed as they didnt sound like an F unit. Aesthetically I would take them now for sure
It’s crazy how I’ve seen some of these trains still operating today. I find the period prior to the Kawasaki M7 locomotives very fascinating.
11:43 never would have thought a K5LA would stray onto a Turboliner. Nice!
The FL9 diesel locomotives at the Metro North Railroad are old school
Lots of train modeling opportunities
There sure is, thanks for watching!
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu that first clip was interesting that they used Horizon Fleet cars on the Albany-NYC section of the Lake Shore Limited

THE FL-9S!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOO-
I didn’t know Amtrak was still using the vintage F units that recently
Is the "baggage car" that the FL9's pull off at Albany an HEP generator or something vs an actual baggage car I'm guessing?

Back then Poughkeepsie trains skipped Ossining and Tarrytown?
@@jackslc01 I believe some did, not all
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu I assume some AM and PM Rush Hour Trains
