#8 was sold for scrap. All usable parts including the K5LA were removed. Maybe it went onto 145. The latter had a terrible horn that sounded like a P5 before it was repainted.
The name of this train is the California Zephyr (Amtrak), but the cars on the end were part of an experiment for "luxury service" on the end of Amtrak trains by GrandLuxe Rail Journeys. It wasn't successful, and GrandLuxe is no longer in business.
I knew these GrandLuxe cars only ran through the Holiday Season of 2007, but I didn't know they shut down after that. What happened with the cars afterwards?
@AmtrakTitan455 Would you keep a wrecked P42? It's beyond repair. The sensible thing to do is remove anything of value and sell the rest for scrap. As for the sound of #145, I rode it a year before it was repainted in PHIII.
@flammabletube I believe the engineer misread a restricting signal and operated the train too fast to stop within sight of another train ahead, and rear-ended the NS freight ahead of him.
I'm not sure, but I think the equipment was put up for sale. It's a terrible shame since they had a complete train and it'll most likely be broken up now.
@railfandude123 # 8 is currently sitting on top of a flat car at Beech Grove.
Man I hope so. #8 was already one of my favorite engines before the wreck, it would be really neat to see it back on the rails.
Sadly it's too bad. It might eventually be scrapped.
@@themasoners3161 it's a part source, its current shape is just depressing
Thanks for catching Amtrak 8 before it had a accident
Nice catch on seeing p42dc 8! you would've never seen him on service again

8 is definitely gonna be scrapped
If I'm not mistaken, those private cars are from the defunct "American Orient Express".
and 815, 822, and lots more.

P42DC #8 is definitely being scrapped
There’s Amtrak 10!
@dafrog55 Yes it is. I don't think it had the Hiawatha logo on it back then, though.
Sorry, but I saw it 11-23-07 in Duplainville, WI with 197 on the Empire Builder WB.
Yep, at least one has already been overhauled...832, I think.

@nashgallo There's a bunch of them roaming around now, a couple in heritage paint!
Wicked catch indeed!!!
@GintaPPE1000 where did you hear that?
I'm not sure, but I think the equipment was put up for sale. It's a terrible shame since they had a complete train and it'll most likely be broken up now.
Yes, it will be scrapped
Isn't #2 the hiawatha unit?
8 sounds great!~ LOL! Nice video, 5*!
What was the cause of the crash Nov 2007 I also loved how all the smokers got out for a quick puff or phone call well done thank you
@CoasterFan2105 oh. i was probably thinking of another loco srry bout that
@MrZkr123 i ment P42's
I believe so, though I'm not sure they're all owned by the same company anymore since GrandLuxe went under.
8, 9 had a crash 8 Does not run and 9 Crashed also 177 458 and 627 and 47 or 147 crashed
so whats the name of this train?
those coaches @ 4:07 remember me of CSXs OCS train
Nice horn
Really? That's awesome!
AMAZING CATCH XD
the P40's are all getting overhauled with new engines, they will then become P40's insted of P40's
Huh?
Amtrak will probably put #8 back in service sometime.
I don't think so. It was damaged beyond repair.
@joshmeister4449 lol ok.
@joshmeister4449 ur not making any sense
