It's good that you mentioned the Version II AmFeet coaches. Most modellers in any scale don't realize how important that detail change became. Bachmann is notorious for not understand which version they product in which paint scheme.
Hey, about the one related to the Night owl and Twilight Shoreliner I think you were right about the talks of the sleepers coming back. In Amtrak's rescent 5 year fleet plan they talked about bringing the viewliner ii sleepers back to trains 65, 66, and 67.
I rode the Floridian out of Louisville. Amtrak used Union Station at first but when they combined with the AutoTrain they used their loading facility on the west side of Osborn Yard shown at 5:57. It was an impressive consist. You would have two Amtrak SDP40Fs and at least two AutoTrain U36Bs laboring to pull that heavy train out of the station.
Interesting video and series! Great work! It looks like there is a serious push to expand Amtrak's non-corridor intercity offerings and particularly to reinstate Amtrak service across Southern Montana (whether or not it happens and resumes using the name North Coast Hiawatha remains to be seen, though). I wonder if the NCH proposals will be helped by BNSF'S recent reacquisition of the former Montana Rail Link, which I have heard was unwilling to host passenger trains (not that that's any guarantee BNSF would be any more cooperative), and, based on what you said about the (North Coast) Hiawatha alternating between running all the way to Seattle and just running Chicago-Twin Cities, I wonder if the addition of the Borealis service could be the basis of the addition of another Chicago-Seattle train through North Dakota and Montana. Although I have seen that recent NCH proposals have it taking BNSF from Chicago to the Twin Cities, the ex-Great Northern from there to Fargo, and an all-ex-Northern Pacific route beyond to Seattle, with no Portland section. Regardless, I wonder how conducive the current Borealis' service timetable would be to serving as a basis for bringing back the NCH and allowing it to serve Bismarck and the major cities in southern Montana during daylight hours. It would definitely be interesting to see, and, as someone who's ridden the Empire Builder all the way and would like to visit Montana someday, I would definitely ride the NCH if and when it is reinstated.
Ya know, Amtrak wants to bring back gulf coast service to Florida. So in my opinion, they should just bring back the Gulf Wind, which ran along the exact line they want to restore; New Orleans to Jacksonville.
They are actually planning on doing that but right now they having issues with trackage rights with csx, and with csx going into PSR they are ripping a lot of trackage that the breeze used to use.
11:03, A little correction...the Cape Cod Railroad would return tourist service in May 1989 and through 1997 then the CCC would return the service in 1999
+Mass Coastal Rail Videos Thank you for the infomation, I assume that having seen the picture at 11:30 where those coaches are in the siding at West Barnstable.
Nice, I’ve been in the Desert Wind, Pioneer, and the Zephyr many times as a kid. I grew up in Provo, Utah, 40 miles south of Salt Are City. Our neighbors were from Sacramento and often they took the Zephyr from Provo to Sacramento often . It was an overnight, just stopping in Provo for a fast exchange of mail and baggage for passengers.All the kids on the street went to see the McCoards off, it was a big deal. The Zephyr came in around 9pm, left 10~15 minutes later. I really loved those futuristic carsI can still see the family hustling ,to their sleeper car and then waving as the train pulled out, into the velvet of the black night. I think Provo had a Denver and Rio Grande shop repairing trains, or some specific part. In the first or second grade we took a short trip to a big shop having a roundabout which was very cool. With the areas steel plants long gone I’m sure UP has scaled back all the operations Provo, Ogden, SLC, Helper
God damn our government needs to spend more money on our infrastructure so that Amtrak can run some more of these trains, and rebuild a stock of nicely maintained equipment.
No matter how much money you throw at a failing industry it’s not going to be able to compete with air travel, it’s so cheap and fast that it only makes sense to have it in places like Idaho and Kansas where places are so spread out. Nowadays no person will pay upwards of 500$ for a 14 hour train trip between say Newport News and Boston when a plane ticket for that is only about 200$ and takes just 2 hours. And If something is failing, throwing money at it won’t save it. Imagine your the government. You can either give money to something that’s loosing money but throw more at it just because a few people like it, or cancel it, extend something that is, and give the money to schools.
6:00 Update: Amtrak is going to be temporarily reintroducing the Floridian to run on the Capitol Limited, and Silver Star routes as to alleviate a superliner shortage on other long distance trains (Thanks Canadian National.) on November 10th of this year, so for the first time since 1979, there is gonna be a direct Chicago to Florida train. Just it's gonna go the LONG way around. But hopefully, this'll get Amtrak to beg for more stock and funding to go the shorter way of the OG Floridian. Edit: It will also bring the numbers 40 and 41, which hadn't been used on any Amtrak trains since the Three Rivers/Broadway Limited
I'm from Britain, travelled around US on Amtrak 1995, great. Big downer was lack of shower facilities for those travelling coach. Lack of shower deters many from using Amtrak.
It would make more sense to pull the Silver Meteor since which only has like one stop exclusive to it anyway (Jesup, which the Silver Star passes through and could stop at anyway). The Palmetto and/or Silver Star also serve almost all of the Silver Meteor’s stops (Palmetto between Rocky Mount and Savannah via Charleston and Silver Star between Savannah and Miami, both of them between Rocky Mount and New York Penn) but removing the Silver Star would leave places like Tampa FL, Lakeland FL and Columbia SC without any passenger service.
I rode the inauguration and final trip of the gulf breeze on the king cotton. My father help set that route up as the transportation manager in Birmingham.
Ye, but the North Coast Hiawatha could be changed up to go to Portland, along with a more southern route to make connections with Yellowstone, so the train wouldn’t be redundant.
No mention of the overnight L.A. to Oakland train - The Spirit of California. Rode it in Jan. 1981 with members of Orange Empire Railway Museum members for trolley excursions in San Francisco. Very enjoyable trip.
The cape codder reminded me of the Lake Country Limiteds service to Lake Geneva and being on certain schedules and the same flaws. But the Lake Country Limiteds Lake Geneva stop was in Zenda WI. A few miles south of Lake Geneva.
Just in: Amtrak will bring sleeper cars onto Northeast Regional trains 65, 66, and 67 starting this April. So the legacies of the Night Owl and Twilight Shore liner seem to be coming back. (Just under the Northeast Regional name) 2024 Update: They dropped the sleeper again. Dunno if they'll do it again.
Christopher Walters I hope you know amtrak is trying to have the comuter companies "tri-rail" and "Sunrail" to run the "Floridian", and Amtrak is trying to run the Kentucky Cardinal again, but this time it will run from Chicago to Florida
Update: the Floridian is returning to service as Amtrak is combining 2 long distance trains, the Capitol Limited and the Silver Star to one mega train from Chicago to Miami via Washington DC, starting November 10th
TRAIN #319 AND #320 THE GULF BREEZE WAS THE ROUND-TRIP TRAIN I HAVE TAKEN BETWEEN MGM-BAY (MONTGOMERY AND BAY MINETTE, ALABAMA BETWEEN 1991-1992 WHICH IN SEPT 2nd,1992 FOR THE 1st TIME I RODE THE F40PH DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE FROM ATR-BRT THRU FLOMATON WHERE THEY SHOWN ME WHERE THE FUTURE AMTRAK SUNSET LTD WAS SCHEDULED TO PENSACOLA, FLORIDA
You brought the two problems that Floridian it had 2 problems 1 deteriorating trackage from PRR’s successor Penn Central trackage in three states Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky that trackage would become Conrail trackage following the us government’s decision to merge the Penn Central alongside 4 other northeastern railroads The Central Railway of Jersey, The Reading Railroad, Lehigh Valley and the Erie Lackawanna in 1976 to form Consolidated Rail Corporation better known as Conrail & 1970s era SDP40F tend to have derailments on Penn Central later Conrail and L&N trackage.
Oh the old Black Hawk train? I think that's what you we're talking about. They're trying to bring it back but got halted in 2015 and so far there isn't any info on what's happening.
I think I remember seeing the Silver Palm running on the A-Line when I first moved to Charleston back in 2001. Did it run the roadrailers on the train because I remember seeing those on the Amtrak trains.
railfanallen I hope you know amtrak is trying to bring back the "Silver Palm" long distance route, but get this, they are trying to combine the day running "Vermonter" with the "Silver Palm" and naming it to the Twilight Shoreliner.
MattProtrains yeh it isn't a profitable line more like a large industrial park run. And CSX only takes like 5 cars every 3 days or so I have 2 videos from there run during a week in February its on my channel just look for Florida railfaning pt.1 and pt.2 I think if not watch all of them. There are only 4.
Well oddly that's at the end of song, being Money on the Table by Tim Truman, I figured Miami Vice music would work since one of the trains went to Miami.
+Rd Rogel Just been uploaded, there are three parts, and the last one hopefully will be ready by the weekend. You can click that message now at the end of this video to go there.
That background music is so annoying and overpowering that it sometimes drowned out the narrator. I gave up by 10:07 after not being able to her the narrator properly.
Actually, i believe when the North Coast Hiawatha reached spokane it branched off and headed to Pasco, where it than took the BN Yakima Sub from Pasco to Ellensburg, then from Ellensburg to East Auburn then either North to Seattle or South (i think it was another section im not sure though) to Tacoma Wa.
+BNoakville I believe that was true at one point, but from what I knew coming into this production the train usually ran through Stevens Pass to Seattle. In fact they have proposed if they ever brought the service back to reroute it over Stampede pass on the Yakima Sub.
Great set of videos MBX............ Shame they wiped out ALL the train names on the Corridor, but sort of came about as a "convenience" when they made all the damned trains this "reserved" crap. People would call the Res Office and want a seat on the "Patriot" for example....then the question always became....well WHICH Patriot...north or southbound???? Now one of the most idiotic names is the Saluki???? just WHAT the hell is a Saluki?? Another Japanese car??
In my opinion, the North Coast Hiawatha should have been continued and not the Empire Builder, since the North Coast Hiawatha served the major cities in North Dakota and Montana while the Empire Builder runs through the much emptier northern parts of those states. More people would have benefitted from the North Coast Hiawatha than from the Empire Builder
I thought he said they discontinued the cardinal also thanks for letting me know I just think maybe a cincinatti to Knoxville route stopping in several Kentucky cities and towns would be a good idea but all I know of are small tourist railroads
It's good that you mentioned the Version II AmFeet coaches. Most modellers in any scale don't realize how important that detail change became. Bachmann is notorious for not understand which version they product in which paint scheme.
Very informative on a good lesson in Amtrak history.

And now it has been done

It was an impressive consist. You would have two Amtrak SDP40Fs and at least two AutoTrain U36Bs laboring to pull that heavy train out of the station.
So sad to see these Amtrak train names not in use anymore
yes
True
Yas
If they never removed these trains, amtrak would be bigger and more popular.
So far the Floridian is back only temporarily though
Very informative. A good lesson in Amtrak history

That could actually work well for a overnight train from, say Jacksonville to New Orleans.
They are actually planning on doing that but right now they having issues with trackage rights with csx, and with csx going into PSR they are ripping a lot of trackage that the breeze used to use.
I agree
Nice to see those dash8s!
Heck yea
Man 4 years since this was uploaded? It feels like yesterday first seeing this not long after this was posted.
Thanks a bunch, I almost cried with the North Coast Hiawatha part with that music.

I doubt know why but I love this little series of yours

I'm from Britain, travelled around US on Amtrak 1995, great. Big downer was lack of shower facilities for those travelling coach. Lack of shower deters many from using Amtrak.
I hope they don't pull the Silver Star because they took the Dining Car off that train, but it remains on the Silver Meteor
Little did you know 2 years later the meteor would have it's dinng car pulled
Now they are running the silver star and silver meteor as essentially the superstar due to covid
It would make more sense to pull the Silver Meteor since which only has like one stop exclusive to it anyway (Jesup, which the Silver Star passes through and could stop at anyway).

What is the name of the song playing with the Gulf Breeze?
Like the MSTS picture of the Silver Palm!
I love ❤ amtrak
The cape codder reminded me of the Lake Country Limiteds service to Lake Geneva and being on certain schedules and the same flaws. But the Lake Country Limiteds Lake Geneva stop was in Zenda WI. A few miles south of Lake Geneva.
Can I learn more about the twilight shoreliner coming back? 9:56
The silver palm would be an awesome train to go from Miami-Tampa nowadays
What music was used at the beginning of the video?
Just in: Amtrak will bring sleeper cars onto Northeast Regional trains 65, 66, and 67 starting this April. So the legacies of the Night Owl and Twilight Shore liner seem to be coming back. (Just under the Northeast Regional name)
2024 Update: They dropped the sleeper again. Dunno if they'll do it again.
There is also Lake Country Limited
What is the song playing during the intro?
Hiawatha itself still runs as an intercity route from Chicago to Milwaukee.
I would Love to see the Kentucky Cardinal Return since I love the Train
I wish the Amtrak E60 came back and Amtrak rebuilt it.
I Wanna Bring Back The Floridian!!
Christopher Walters I hope you know amtrak is trying to have the comuter companies "tri-rail" and "Sunrail" to run the "Floridian", and Amtrak is trying to run the Kentucky Cardinal again, but this time it will run from Chicago to Florida

I remember those Rohr turbotrains. They were a nice ride; certainly better than those cheesy amfleet cars.
Just watched this for nostalgia
This is an outstanding video. However. it needs less disruptive music.
The San Deagan is still alive in the surfliner the sometimes use amfleet and horizon coaches
ULTRA_SD70ace productions Productions I agree.
yeah but the same coaches
ULTRA_SD70ace Productions In 2000, San Diegan has been replaced by Pacific Surfliner
NotYourAverageGaming 11 that's good to know
It just uses them when there's a lack of equipment, they still are Pacific Surfliner trains.
0:04 what's the music
3:02 145 pre-heritage
i though this made no cent when i figured it out when you talk about passenger trains
Sorry I was doing homework while watching this 😂
This is because people are using UBER, bus lines, airlines, cars, or boats now. People still use trains. Just not as much as they used to
I really wish there was. Chicago - Florida train today
City of Miami or Panama Limited ?
They still have the Boston to new port news trains just called Regionals now
You brought the two problems that Floridian it had 2 problems 1 deteriorating trackage from PRR’s successor Penn Central trackage in three states Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky that trackage would become Conrail trackage following the us government’s decision to merge the Penn Central alongside 4 other northeastern railroads The Central Railway of Jersey, The Reading Railroad, Lehigh Valley and the Erie Lackawanna in 1976 to form Consolidated Rail Corporation better known as Conrail & 1970s era SDP40F tend to have derailments on Penn Central later Conrail and L&N trackage.
What was the intro song?
Night owl had a disaster it slammed into the middle of a mbta coach and the mbta was hold 998 passengers and no one died ever :o
What's the music at 12:38
Wasn't there a Chicago to Dubuque Amtrak Service. Or Eau Claire to Duluth
Oh the old Black Hawk train? I think that's what you we're talking about. They're trying to bring it back but got halted in 2015 and so far there isn't any info on what's happening.
Arrowhead ran Chicago-St. Paul-Duluth. I believe it was cancelled around 1978
what song was played during the cape codder
That moment you see your Railroad mentioned :3 . The Flyer still is a touchy subject as the kinks still haven't been worded out
Firstclass91 recent news shows the cape flyer to be profitable
I wish the three rivers and the fast mail wouldn't have been taken out.
Nice job
I think I remember seeing the Silver Palm running on the A-Line when I first moved to Charleston back in 2001. Did it run the roadrailers on the train because I remember seeing those on the Amtrak trains.
railfanallen I hope you know amtrak is trying to bring back the "Silver Palm" long distance route, but get this, they are trying to combine the day running "Vermonter" with the "Silver Palm" and naming it to the Twilight Shoreliner.
Roadrailers did run on this train, but I think it like the other Silver Service trains ran as far as Jacksonville before getting cut off.
MattProtrains that is true
Well I can't say for sure, but I believe it was based on other accounts people have had traveling those routes during those years.
Can anyone tell me the name of piano music used for the Night Owl/Twilight Shoreliner part?
First Snowfall, it's an Imovie song.
nice video I like the picture of p42 145 before it is hertige
Oh wow, what Nostalgia l am a train girl. 😂😂😂 My daddy was a railroad express and l spent days on trains. I am 77 and trains were my 😮😮life...
Amtrak is thinking about reopening the route in Montana
Wish for new amtrack emd trains
On #10 you can still get routes 850 and 851 today but runs as the Hoosier State as far as Indianapolis
8:08 those are northeast regionals, which also run overnight
That is correct, I should've mentioned that at the end.
Unfortunately the Hoosier State stopped running.
what's with the puple livery
Nice! and I didn't know Amtrak went to st. pettersberg the track is very bad there
+Maine Railfan© Well remember this is back in the 70s. Is the track still there, and in said condition today?
MattProtrains yeh it isn't a profitable line more like a large industrial park run. And CSX only takes like 5 cars every 3 days or so I have 2 videos from there run during a week in February its on my channel just look for Florida railfaning pt.1 and pt.2 I think if not watch all of them. There are only 4.
+Maine Railfan© :*(
The Hoosier state is now discounted
what game are the picture from
Night Owl is back :D
floridian is back
I heard talk about bringing the Floridian back. I could be wrong
What's the train at 0.50?
Rip Amtrak names in this video
The night owl had an accident in 1990 in Back Bay when it derailed and hit a MBTA train
Alec Martin wow...
Welp it happened the night owl is back.
what is the second song called
Second song is Texas Ranger by Jan Hammer, if that's what you're looking for.
7:24 what is that cool music name
Well oddly that's at the end of song, being Money on the Table by Tim Truman, I figured Miami Vice music would work since one of the trains went to Miami.
I feel this should be discontinued train routes, not names. I don’t know, though.
I agree, some of these names have just been changed. Plus, it left out some other discontinued services.
clocker and 3 revers
Where's the 2nd part?
+Rd Rogel Just been uploaded, there are three parts, and the last one hopefully will be ready by the weekend. You can click that message now at the end of this video to go there.
SilVA PALM? I thought it was SILVER?
That background music is so annoying and overpowering that it sometimes drowned out the narrator.
I gave up by 10:07 after not being able to her the narrator properly.
Mike Vale how?
Everytime a train is discontinued it seems to be because a someone doesn’t want to spend money on rail transport…
Bring back the Floridian!
Actually, i believe when the North Coast Hiawatha reached spokane it branched off and headed to Pasco, where it than took the BN Yakima Sub from Pasco to Ellensburg, then from Ellensburg to East Auburn then either North to Seattle or South (i think it was another section im not sure though) to Tacoma Wa.
+BNoakville I believe that was true at one point, but from what I knew coming into this production the train usually ran through Stevens Pass to Seattle. In fact they have proposed if they ever brought the service back to reroute it over Stampede pass on the Yakima Sub.
Great set of videos MBX............
Shame they wiped out ALL the train names on the Corridor, but sort of came about as a "convenience" when they made all the damned trains this "reserved" crap. People would call the Res Office and want a seat on the "Patriot" for example....then the question always became....well WHICH Patriot...north or southbound????
Now one of the most idiotic names is the Saluki???? just WHAT the hell is a Saluki?? Another Japanese car??
Did you forget about the Montrealer?
And The Champion?????
is that trainz at 9:04?
That's railworks, just to do a simple reenactment as I couldn't find more info on the Executive Sleeper operation.
I what to bring back the Lake county limited or North coast Hiawatha
do the closer and 3 revers
Everyone: Where
Me: At Seattle
The North Coast Hiawatha game meme
Your profile name is cursed
@@bistroofdoom2651 uh
you forgot the northeast direct
Thx
In my opinion, the North Coast Hiawatha should have been continued and not the Empire Builder, since the North Coast Hiawatha served the major cities in North Dakota and Montana while the Empire Builder runs through the much emptier northern parts of those states. More people would have benefitted from the North Coast Hiawatha than from the Empire Builder
i agree
Rip Three Rivers
Yo I think you forgot one train in this episodes
It's the caulmet train
Kentucky is the only mainland us state to not have Amtrak service
Actually, Amtrak has service along the Ohio River, part of it's Cardinal. Wyoming and South Dakota are states with no trains
I thought he said they discontinued the cardinal also thanks for letting me know I just think maybe a cincinatti to Knoxville route stopping in several Kentucky cities and towns would be a good idea but all I know of are small tourist railroads
