- It's been a while since i've uploaded a full length video, so since I have a little snippet of free time I thought I'd put together something special; that being this F125 compilation. Featuring a few catches spanning from October of 2017 through April of 2018, this video includes locos 905, 907, 908, and 910. Included idling/walkaround videos at the end to mix it up a little, I thank you all for watching and I hope you enjoy!
I notice how QUIET those F125s are compared to the F59s and MP36s!
Those AC Traction Motors sound like a vacuum cleaner during Acceleration!! XD
Man, that is a pretty sick acceleration rate!
The F125’s acceleration is fast? Looks as slow as a GE to me because of the 20-cylinder engine. However, it does load up quickly like other EMD diesels.
@@g-manonthego6678 hell nah it's way quicker
Probably because of its large and powerful engine and 125mph speed rating.
@@g-manonthego6678 Nah, it’s not that. The answer is simple: AC traction motors
@@blackbirdgaming8147 AC traction has really been a game-changer for freight and passenger trains. It’s also interesting how it can help a locomotive have quicker acceleration, whether diesel or electric powered.
I've been scouring the internet for months trying to find a pic inside the cab of an f125. But almost 6 months later, I still cant find a single one. By comparison there are hundreds of in cab pics of the siemens charger. I wonder if they are trying to keep it a secret or something almost as if either EMD or Metrolink has something to hide in there.
Donald Stinnett I’m pretty sure it’s against regulation to open the view to the cab. That’s Why we don’t often get to see the cab rides
Nope--- I haven't been able to find one either. I'm wanting to make the loco for use in Trainz. I did a BL36PH, and couldn't find a pic of a cab of one of those either, so I just used my imagination. They're probably similar to a Charger control stand don't you think?
Maybe the Chatsworth incident is why they don't allow phones in there
@@CatBot007 I'm actually a conductor for a class1 now. Hired on back in 2021. They had a public unveiling of this engine back when it was new, and the cab was open for viewing, but there were no pictures taken of the interior by anyone, which I still find odd since the engine wasn't in operation while the event was taking place. You can't use an electronic device while the train is in operation while in the cab, but our operating rules allow us to use our phones when we are sitting at a red board for example and no one is out on the ground, and no work is being performed. It technically says only for "voice or text communication" in the rules, but guys do what they do. I can tell you since there are cameras all inside cabs now, I'd lose my job in a heartbeat if I ever invited anyone aboard to have a look around, which is a huge bummer because I had some nice crews let me climb up there when I was a kid pre 9/11. Better yet, if I get caught with my phone anywhere on my person while working, I'll lose my job best case. Worst case if an FRA agent sees it, I lose my job and pay a fine somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 grand. They even have detectors inside the nose of the engine that will notify the company if there is a cell phone turned on while the train is in motion. So many ways to get fired and you constantly have to cover your ass. I do feel happy that I'm finally doing my childhood dream job, but another part of me wishes I'd been more open minded growing up and had thought about more than just 1 career possibility. Take care man.
@@ConductorDon most thing that happened to me was in the cab car the conductor went to sit in the cab and he let me inside the red roped area and opened the shade for me for a little bit. Also, on the same train, I saw the engineer smoking while driving. I talked to him for a bit and when we got to LA Union and when I got to my destination he tossed me a water bottle from the locomotive cab. I never saw the engineer again but I still see the conductor sometimes. I remember it was an f59ph in the plain white livery. Also that comment was a joke lmao
The ditch lights flash so slow
You can say that again!
Thise f125s have very good aceleration
The foamers lmao
Show some respect to andross51 and xtremepadrefan
On 11:44 that is loud because I was standing next the the F125 in person it’s 100% super loud
Does anyone know what horn they have on the f125 and the cab car?
N.D. Butrovich Nathan K2
And a k3l
Cool metrolink
Amtrak should have bought some of these beautiful units for long distance passenger trains what you all think
I prefer this over the charger
Absolutely ugly loco the chargers are way better.
Can't. They're not allowed to do more than 90 and they're miserably unreliable. Amtrak wants nothing to do with them. Might as well stick an SD40 on there.
2:27 its @Xtremepadefan hahaha
Are f125’s brand new?
Yes.
I swear I hear traction motors
Me too
That's because
1. It's a diesel-electric, like all of the diesels used in north American passenger service
2. Its newer, which means that traction motors are more heard
Awesome catches
Would of been cool if they have ordered Sc44 Chargers like Amtrak and COASTER
Ew no, they are such unattractive machines.
I doint thank so the f125 is way nicer looking than the charger.
The sc44 has an ugly hood but I still like it. well, a little
I like both But I Think The F125 Looks Nicer But It’s Horn Is Disgusting Compared To the SC-44 Charger. It’s K5LA Is Amazing!
Add a k5la horn on this locomotive and it’s perfect!
God what type is that locomotive?
pnm nyami 4449 fan 2506 tier 4
@@tonnyyyzzzplays7309 it's not just a tier 4 it's also called and EMD Spirit F125 diesel electric locomotive.
2:42 VERY disappointed to see black smoke coming out of the EMD F125. Also, it's noisier than the Siemens SC-44. I thought these were supposed to be "clean" locomotives. The SC-44 is clearly better! Now I know why Siemens sells many trains globally whereas EMD is struggling. EMD is just General Motors/General Electric junk! German engineering!
That black smoke was coming from the F59PH, not the F125
F125s still seem to emit exhaust when throttling up. Might be a Caterpillar thing but I'm not sure.
@@scax859 you're right
Lmao if you think caterpillar is junk you're a complete idiot
And they're not struggling at all
You deserve a bit more dislikes. *WRONG*
