  • Here's some one of a kind footage I re-discovered from Amtrak's Autumn Express in 2015 which traveled from Albany, NY to East Deerfield, MA, passing through the world famous Hoosac tunnel!
    This train was being lead by Amtrak #Heritage Unit #822 and #145. Since this video, number 822 was involved in an accident and has been taken out of service, so this view from the cab is a pretty neat piece of history!
    Please share with all who love trains and history, thanks!

    Excellent. Been a while since I got to hold a train in my lap and watch and listen to it do what a train does. Love trains and miss seeing them.

    Amtrak 822 was used during national train day 2012. I remember it coming into Grand central. Those were the days. RIP 822

      I sure do! I have the full ride through from this side and from the back of the train coming West to East. I also have a few shorter clips of crossing a few of the bridges, coming through the "Mini-Hoosac" and rolling through Greenfield.
      Thank you for the comment!

      It was around two and a half years ago. It was in the Beechgrove shops in IN at least since October, 2020.

      Right now it's out in Beech Grove, Indiana at the shops storage facility. Here's a drone video from around a month ago which shows it sitting out there in line with a bunch of other units. Unsure of the status of rebuilding vs. scrapping.

      @Imrfilms  Рік тому +1

      I've never seen 156. And yes, it was in an accident and is OOS currently. I did catch 161 in Florida this past summer, which is also a Phase I with the "50th Anniversary" on it, which was pretty cool!

They're also Phase III. 145 spent a lot of time on my local Vemonter train these past few months along with 100 (Midnight Blue) and a few runs of 46 with the "50 Years of Connecting America" emblem on the side!

      I have the full video of the train going through the Hoosac tunnel. The one shot from the locomotive has no sound (removed it purposely). I also have a full vid of the tunnel from the rear of the train as it was going the other direction.
