About this video: In July and August of 2024, one of the sets of equipment that operates round trips on Amtrak’s Downeaster Between Brunswick, ME and Boston, MA featured one of Amtrak’s 40th anniversary “Phase III” heritage units on each end. F40PH-NPCU (Non-Powered Control Unit) 90406 was on the south end of this consist while P42DC 145 was on the north end. I first caught up with this consist on Downeaster train 688 at the Haverhill, MA station on 7/12/2024 (the first clip in this video). I was next able to see this set on 8/7/2024 operating on Downeaster 684 at Cross Road in Ward Hill, Haverhill and on Downeaster 685 at the West Medford MBTA station. The final view of this train that I was able to get was filmed at the Anderson Regional Transportation Center in Woburn, MA on 8/8/2024 as the set operated on train 682.

    Update: 1500, 1519 and 1523, which were sent to Kinki Sharyo for overhaul in late December 2019, have officially been scrapped. This was because the number of MBB coaches to be overhauled was reduced due to service reductions, this happened in 2022. These were originally cab control cars that would have their cabs stripped and rebuilt to blind trailer coaches, renumbered to 539, 541 and 542. Also, BTC-3 coaches 525 and 529 were overhauled as “Office Cars” and not for revenue service. 525 is named “The Minuteman” and 529 “The Constitution”. The complete end of the single level coaches is coming up fast, so rail fans catch the single decks while you still can. In early 2025, the remaining single level blind trailer coaches, which includes 200s, 300s and 600s, will start being phased out of service, with the last ones expected to be phased out by the end of 2027. All the cab control coaches, which includes the 1500s and 1600s have already been fully phased out with the last of the Messerschmitts running in December 2023, along with two blind trailers, 520 and 533. The last of the Bombardiers, 1647, died on July 11, 2024. May the 1500s and 1600s and all single level coaches rest in peace 1987-2024. All remaining single level coaches (in service, as of December 2024, are above 35 years old).

    My special needs son loves trains 🚆🚂🚃🚄🚅🚆🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🚋🛤🚟 especially F40PH's and cabooses! He thinks cabooses are highly underrated pieces of rolling stock and they shouldn't have been replaced by the flashing rear end device. They should just leave the caboose where it was and installed the end of train device onto it.

    • @rail_spike_productions
      @rail_spike_productions День тому

      I would also love to see cabooses back on mainline freight. But with smaller train crews than there used to be, it would be hard to convince railroads to put empty cabooses on the backs of trains

      @@rail_spike_productions What im thinking is, the road was widened, thus prompting the massive cantilever and all the lights, BUT due to the low train traffic, gates are needed here just yet, so they haven't been installed, either that OR the railroad is waiting for the road works here to be completed before installing gates. I've seen this happen many times. A railroad crossing gets upgraded, with lights, bells, gate mechs, ect, but the gates come much later, sometimes years later.
