Well yea there was a fire in Washington, DC maintenance yard there was a fire in that yard when it was trying to get through the yard on the capital Limited I know it’s disappointing, but maybe the Amtrak will give this unit a replacement heritage unit so we can still have this paint scheme anther put on a different unit next so it can be 161s replacement for this scheme just like this unit was a replacement for this phase 1 scheme that 156 had but then 156 got scrapped out of sofas from its bad problem and then they gave 161 156 is scheme to be 156 is replacement Just like they also did the same thing to 184 184 wasn’t in a fire it was just sent for a we paint for Amtrak did have to repaint IV scheme for it so they repainted it scheme onto a new unit that they turned into a hailed unit number as 164 164 184 replacement for the IV scheme these naw a days
0:42 and 0:52 161’s cab, nose and body looked torched after the fire. You also forgot to mention 184 became a non powered control unit, repainted again to Phase VII and renumbered to 9700.

It came to Norfolk in its last days, but I unfortunately couldn't catch it. Would have been nice to see it one last time.
The chilling thing about this in terms of myself is I was on the silver meteor and passed it an hour before the fire
Oh my… 😳
@@Strasburg_Railfaner611 what are the odds
@@Strasburg_Railfaner611 You could have been the first person to see it had that train been an hour late
Amtrak's best heritage unit.
RIP AMTK 161 2001-2024
I’ve seen 161 one time on the silver star, it’s sad to see this
At least 160 and 161 had the chance 2 pull a trian together in there heritage paint
Real
I miss amtrak 156 but i miss amtrak 161 even more:(
Deja Vu!, it met nearly the same fate as 2101, the Freedom Train steam engine, maybe they both can be put on display for posterity.
I swear amtrak always be having accidents like this
I know, Right?
i literally wanted to see 161 one day.
Rip Rudolph 😢
Rip #161 you will be missed 😭🙏🏽🕊️
Fly high 161

I know it’s disappointing, but maybe the Amtrak will give this unit a replacement heritage unit so we can still have this paint scheme anther put on a different unit next so it can be 161s replacement for this scheme just like this unit was a replacement for this phase 1 scheme that 156 had but then 156 got scrapped out of sofas from its bad problem and then they gave 161 156 is scheme to be 156 is replacement
Just like they also did the same thing to 184 184 wasn’t in a fire it was just sent for a we paint for Amtrak did have to repaint IV scheme for it so they repainted it scheme onto a new unit that they turned into a hailed unit number as 164 164 184 replacement for the IV scheme these naw a days

@ you’re welcome!
Very crispy 😔❗

If 161 is repaired and returned to service then we are saved
We Will See, I Think It's Going To Be Scrapped
How did Amtrak 161 catch fire?
I am not quite sure at the moment. I just saw it on Facebook.
Its just a locomotive, amtrak will paint another one in that livery.
True.
Was the crew ok at least?
I’m sure they were.
a fuel leak
Womp womp
Will 161 be scrapped or fixed
Probably scrapped.
Oh no😔
Yeah scrapped 161 because they 156 in 2020 because 156 wasn’t fixable and order a another one but it was expensive so they scrap it
Make Amtrak 161 your profile pic for another tribute for it
I could do that, But I’d rather keep the BNSF 961 on it.
I've captured 161 back in 2020, But it wasn't in that paint scheme: ua-cam.com/video/nWGtCYpvvN4/v-deo.html

Amtrak #161 was burnt by a fire before GTA 6 😱😭
Really? That’s where your mind goes to
@ Yeah. Amtrak #161 had its fuel tank ruptured.
@@AkshajPlaysTrainGames so your first thought about what could’ve been a tragic accident is to make a stupid joke that isn’t even funny
