In short, the HHP-8 is it's own locomotive, and can operate solely, while the Acela Express is a trainset. Although the locomotives _could_ technically be uncoupled and run on their own, they pretty much stay coupled to their cars at all times, like the French TGV, the German ICE, and more relevant in train setup, the British InterCity 125.
@@twinboo529 Yes, and like the 125, the Acela Power Unit can uncouple, much like a separate locomotive. My point is you rarely see a Class 43(the 125 locomotive) uncoupled from an InterCity set. It's the same case with the Acela.
Did you know guys that the Acela express is faster with its coaches because I tried it and its faster which is really wierd maybe because they give more power I don't know 😂
Hello my friend I totally love ur hornby trains. They look very nice. I'm still working on getting more hornby trains. Ur the best. Who else watches LaZeR JeT.
There should most definitely be a rematch on the longer race track. And not to mention there should be a few more Amtrak trains in the race; the F40PH, P32, P30CH, E60, AEM-7, Siemens Chargers, and most recently (tho I doubt it will be in train simulator any time soon), the Avelia Liberty, AKA, Acela 2.0.
Fun Fact: Numbered 1-207 (197 are still active), they were delivered in two batches: 1996-97, and 2000-01. The P40s, 800-843, were all delivered in 1993. So the P40 is still active on Amtrak lines. Google wont give a direct answer because google is stupid edit: the Loco got a Redesign in Train simulator the original model stays the same but the Paint scheme is different. The ACS-64 doesn't have a good history when it was revealed at a ceremony in 2013, but first entered service in 2014. It had a number of crashes in 2016 an ACS 64 derailed in Chester, Pennsylvania Enroute to Savanna Georgia, the crash type Obstruction on line and consequent derailment Cause The train struck a backhoe. There were more to come the most known is the Frankfort Junction Wreck that led to 8 fatalities and multiple injured the driver whos Name I will not say Forgot where he was. this happened before PTS was installed in trains (positive Train Control).
Me watching the vid: where is the Amtrak airó super liner surfer liner the ventures avelia the metro liner type of amtrak the series 8 the mpi’s emd’s you are missing so many and it hurts my brain just search up all the amtraks on Wikipedia

The InterCity 125 has a locomotive.

P-42 looks the best in that livery!
HHP-8s were notorious for malfunctions /w lots wheel slip
Laser, you are so lucky that you like the HHP-8 because they’re turning them into CAB CARS
The HHP-8 performed terribly IRL, whereas the ACS-64 was very reliable, hence why it replaced the HHP-8
Yeah, I know
Well done hhp8 not only did you beat the Acela express you accelerate faster too

LazerJet the ACS64 is also called the City Sprinter
Yeah, I think a track extention would be better, the TGV's and ICE's are very slow at the beggining, but are VERY fast.
Good job with this one!! 😊
Bruh It's an american loco race
Tgvs are slow ingenral just watch it race and it's probably even slower than Mallard or flying Scotsman
The acela express is the fastest Amtrak train and my favourite so I hope it will win😉
It would be so awesome to see a race of the Big Boy and Flying Scotsman on this route!!
The HHP 8 were replaced because of technical issues and they had alot of horse power

The Siemens Chargers aren't in Train Simulator Classic yet.
@@GeospaciallyGone "yet"
You should do a Chinese high speed train race to see which is the fastest.
Idk if you noticed oliver but the HHP8 (The train which won the race), it’s pantographs are sticking through the overhead wires
Woow this is a cool race video LazerJet keep up the good work
I love it when he uses the class forty seven
The Amtrak ACS-64 is a City Spirnter hense the CS 64 is 6,400hp and the HHP8 has 8,000hp in real life
@Malvern Junction Actually The ACS-64'S 8,600 HP, Not 6,400 HP. The 64 Means 6,400 KW.
@@calebtrains2261 I was close lol. I got 6,400 on something, I always thought it was to say how much hp it had in power
I Am Cheering For You Amtrak Acela Express Train ❤️🚆❤️
Thanks for doing my request from your twitch stream
The HHP-8 has over 8000 horsepower so that explains how its so fast
Hi lazerjet I love your videos
I like the Acela Express and the AC is 64
1st position: HHP-8 #659
2nd position: Acela Express #2035
3rd position: ACS-64 #620
4th position: P42DC #5
5th position: P40DC #814
My favourite train of all time its the hhp8 but 8 live in Britain but I used to live in America when I was 1
If only TSW had world building like this
I've been watching sense 2017 i loved the content thro the years
om gosh i love the races😍🤩
Makes me want to know if the HHP8 can beat Eurostar 🤔
Fantastic share
Great video, LaZeR!”
Finally you did a high speed train race
Can You Make Amtrak Passenger And Superliner
Yay another race >:)
Prediction:
1st: Acela
2nd: HHP8
3rd: ACS-64
4th: P42DC
5th: P40DC

I could take all of the high speed trains in all of the games you ply lazer/lazerjet/laser/laserjet
Rest in peace Amtrak 184
I have a recommendation for all the ICE Trains to race against each other I think that would be fun
I Love The Amtrak Acela Express
Huge fan of you
Lazer could you a race between up 844 and acela express
The hhp8 is my favourite👍
8:00 it’s called a dual cab locomotive
I think use Trurail P42 Enhancement with UTS expansion pack is better than DTM P40 & RSC P42 maybe
HHP8 said bye
Alot of people underestimate how fast an American desil train can actually go
Can you do smoke Joe vs super class 43 pls
THAT WAS WAAAAAAAAAAY TO UNFAR FOR THE ACELA EXPRESS.
It is possible to run one Acela powercar
Great -video-
That race wasn’t fair because the Acela was pulling at least 5 cars
i tryed it and its faster with 5 cars wierdly but this is ts lol
*Acela express is maybe the fastest*
Nice vids

The name of a locomotive with a cab on each end is a diesel multiple unit (DMU)
Do a HHP8 VS eurostar please
You forgot the F40PH,E60 and AEM-7
sorry my friend i don't have them in train sim
You might have to use the hhp8 instead of the super class 47😂
Cool
Do hhhp8 vs Euro star class 373
Could you get a alc 44 or sc44
TBH, I would've had the locomotives, minus the acela, each pulling cars. That way their weight could somewhat be equalised.
Please do a race about the AEM7 vs the P42 phase IV?
If i may ask Lazer, have you ever tested locos from trainmuseums or railways from the netherlands
State owned locos
Maybe when you get to 1000 videos you should make a special video
Nice
I think that the “ACS 64” is fast but the Acela Express is faster
Small nitpick, but should'nt that First Class Car on the Acela be facing the other direction?
cool
I love the acela express and the acs 64
@LaZeR JET, you are talking about a tandem train
No AEM-7 and E60MA
Can you do a vid of Mallard and ny Hudson vs flying Scotsman and tornado double header race plz
Lazerjet it's my birthday today
Happy birthday mate
hey Oliver pls can you do a race where you get the city of Ciro, the Mallard, and the husdon and have them on %200 power
Can you do a race with acela express and prr s1
Never over look on the hhp-8 😅
Multiple Unit is the correct word.
You should’ve had the F40PH.
I don’t think it’s totally fair mate. Rematch on a longer course and 200% power.
Oliver can you do a scotrail race
Definitely fair cuz of the s1
Acela
The ACS64 is my favorite cause it fast
I guess some diesels have potential to beat electric trains
I think the Acela Express will win
Acela Express is definitely going to win
Lasers I think the Amtrak hp8 is the fastest
Oliver wy do a race with all your steam locomotive's
The Amtrak Acela Express
Can you do a race with the new Acela against different countries
Dude one railway owns only one hhp8 and the only one in service! I don't know if they have any more I forgot the name of the railway
Can you upload a video of how to install train simulator classic?
I been struggling so many times!
Pls help!
Can you please double header Amtrak race pretty please
P. 42
B. 42 is gonna win
Oliver please do NEW YORK Huordson vs A4 MALLARD
Race only Japanese trains
where is emd aem-7 and ge e60?
Hi lazer jet can you do a race between a calidonian class 812 ,flying Scotsman ,an e2 tank engine and a great western 14xx please ?
i like steam train races
