Farewell to the Talgo 6 Sets: A Chase from Seattle to Portland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- After being retired as a result of the 2017 Dupont Derailment, and sitting in King Street Station for 8 months, the last two Amtrak Cascades Talgo 6 sets are being shipped off to Los Angeles to be scrapped or sold. These train cars served well for the past 20 years, so it’s unfortunate to see them go. Nonetheless, I had fun chasing this train down basically the entire Seattle Subdivision and through Portland. Hopefully the future of Amtrak Cascades is bright for the years ahead, but we’ll see what happens.

Omg amazing chase, you must’ve had fun catching it at old town and chehalis
He skipped all the over foamed spots 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
I would have shot there if the train wasn’t moving at like Mach 12 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Nice one, Mason! Sad to see them go though.
How come there are 4 talgo cars sitting in the background for the talgo series 8 sets
The 8’s were shortened during the pandemic for whatever reason and those are the spares.
Are they gonna go back on both sets soon
@@kellenmatthews1440 I dunno at this point.
Great video, congratulations on 400 subscribers, 309 tops 307 lol
thank you and no
Good bye, Amtrak Cascades Talgo series 6!
What are the extra four talgo's there used for? 0:14
not sure, then again parts of the mount adams talgo 6 set sits near there too so i dunno
It is a real shame to see them go. Will there be new Talgo sets in the future, or is this indeed the end? Other than that great video, Mason!
Originally we were supposed to get the Wisconsin sets but as of now it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any more Talgos. :(
So what’s gonna happen to the NPCU’s?
As far as I know, they’ll be used on the Horizons until the new Talgo 8’s arrive, and by then they’ll be retired or scrapped, I dunno.
@@LoowitRail no more talgo 8s are coming
@@maverick13_bro87 oh did they actually cancel that
@@maverick13_bro87 where did you get the info from. That the talgo 8 sets were canceled
@@TanVasinTrains the Talgo series 8 will be running along side new siemens venture car sets in the future the other two series 8's for wisconsin will be going to Nigeria, Lagos for a metro project
Wish they built another kind like in 1998.
Are the Talgo 6 coaches scrapped?
Yes, or they’re in storage in both Chicago and LA. There was a photo that came out recently of one of the sets being scrapped, and looked like it was in LA (where these two sets were headed), judging by how sunny and warm it looked outside.
