  • Come for the heritage unit, stay for the SEPTA/Amtrak traffic
    I got word that SEPTA had just unveiled their 1st heritage unit since Silverliner II 269 roamed the rails. Silverliner IV 280 (Former RDG 9018, the 1st IV ever produced) had its original livery and 50 years worth of grime (more than just dirt) cleaned and given the same bare but historical livery the car had upon delivery sporting a RDG diamond and SEPTA "meatball" logo from the 70s. Interesting this came at the same time the Kawasaki Trolley 9000 was painted in its historical livery before donation to a museum and when SEPTA cancelled their order for poorly made double deck coaches. You'll see this unit 3 times throughout the video. Enjoy.

      PRR is unlikely as none of SEPTA's current fleet is Ex PRR anymore but there's 3 more planned supposedly so I'm guessing there'll be a PC car, a CR one (very rare as only a handful of Silverliners II-IV had that logo) & a 90s era SEPTA one (just the box logo) SEPTA made that car near 100% original (the only things are the ditch lights and road number for this RDG car) That said a PRR ACS-64 would look so cursed but nice if done right... Looking at you NJT

      There's a total of 3 more planned from what I've heard so I'd probably expect those 2 and the 90s era SEPTA livery (just the box logo)

    Nice that they did a car with the Reading logos. but why didn't they save a few of those rare St. Louis Car Company Silverliners back in 2016. The cars were in excellent condition inside and out and SEPTA sold them for very little to a scrap dealer in Newark, N. J., where they were cut up. SEPTA didn't even bother to remove the pantographs. I have video of trains of SEPTA Silverliners being hauled up to Newark.

      1 II is confirmed to be preserved (think the number was either 9010 or 9001) it is scheduled to go to the Reading Railroad Museum in Hamburg, PA in due time however of course CSX and NS are fighting about shipping and moves like this normally takes months or even years before it finally gets 1 step anywhere to it's destination -__- that's happened so many times from my experience but at least the II is hidden so vandals can't ruin it which is sadly what happened to the St Louie car 238. 238 the sole III was also considered but no one wanted it and the museum only wanted the II cause it was a Reading car, not Penn Central.

      Long as it isn't as sloppy as NJT 4636 I'd like it (even if it'll look a bit cursed) but considering how SEPTA's past "Heritage units" such as II 269 and the Trolley 9000 I'm gonna guess they'll keep it historical and only do them on the IVs as only 3 more are planned so I'm told meaning there's probably gonna be a PC IV, a CR one (only a single digit number of Silverliners II-IV had the can opener logo up front), and a 90s era one (The box logo) but hey that's just my guess.

      It's a IV alright. 280 (back when it was RDG 9018) had this exact livery upon delivery along her sisters (the PC ones had the PC "mating worms" logo instead) That's a better HU than semihistorical liveries on equippment that never saw the road :P
