Amazing video wow 😮
I wish I was old enough to have seen those lovely F-units in regular service. Sadly, before my time... thank you for capturing this Amtrak history on film and sharing it for all to enjoy!
Very old amtrak locomotives but i still like them.
Spectre_Dragon FL9s when this was filmed were extremely old. F40s at the time, were newborns.
Idea: if a Locomotive can run, then let it run. Also, I say the EMD E & F models of locomotives should be Brought Back.
Is anyone like me that misses the live stream Amtrak locomotive
The good old days
I don't know if anybody misses the monster size Amtrak the Streamline Amtrak that is seen here with smoke coming out of it wish. I could find a sad face emoji on my tablet but I can't
Ahh, the days of the Phase III F40PHs...
What wasthe car behind the loco? Looks like some kind of generator car.
That is an HEP Generator Car. They were built by Amtrak to be used by their FL9s since they never originally came equipped with HEP from the factory; they also were on standby for locomotives whose HEP was acting up or not working at all. While some already had it fitted well into the 80s, their entire FL9 fleet was eventually fitted with generators by the early 90s when they went through their last major overhaul under Amtrak ownership, but this preceded that.
I miss the chuggington
