- Yes I did already make an episode about the p32ac-dm however it is not what I wanted it to be. So I decided to remake the episode over two years after the original to fill in some missing information and improve the quality.

Honestly I felt that Amtrak should’ve ordered more P32-ACDM because of how the turbo liners where retired by the 2000s
This is one deluxe remake nyrailfan!!! I am so glad to be able to transport this transit information to the train portion of my brain. Choo choo for now
Choo choo
@@nyrailfan202 wich ecto1 you like ecto 1 or ecto1a
@@nyrailfan202So some of the P32ACs would have to operate on express services on the New Haven Line in the New Haven paint scheme numbered 228 to 231. But you got some others doing express services on the Hudson Line between and Grand Central and Poughkeepsie, and some others doing direct limited services on the Harlem Line between Grand Central and Wassaic.
The best set of video's and channel on UA-cam covering Metro North

Great remake. Still can't believe that the front has an escape hatch for the crew. I didn't know what it's purpose was before the initial episode.
Well back in the day safety wasn’t thought about so why make a tunnel wider for safety
Woo remade
Yes
Yay Ive been waiting :D
Awesome video! Nice job
Great video as usual man!
Glad you enjoyed it
MTA actually recently made a deal with Siemens for a triple mode charger which is capable of using diesel, 3rd rail, and catenary. Amtrak will be getting a venture trainset with 1 ALC-42E with 3rd rail, diesel, and when a battery trailing car is equipped it will use battery power and will have 5 venture passenger cars.
Great video!
Thabks
6:39 Amtrak units are actually using over-running third-rail.
I was just gonna say, I think penn station is over running
About time this got updated.
Agreed
I just love the intro with the happy music!
The one on this video?
@@nyrailfan202 yeah
Yes!! This is a very nice improvement!
Thanks
@@nyrailfan202 who you gonna call
Ghostbusters
As of now,
- 208 wears the Beachball scheme
- 201 wears the Conrail scheme
- 211 wears the New York Central scheme
- 217 wears the Penn Central scheme
Is the CT rail Metro North Trains getting a Dual Mode version of the Siemens Chargers just like the Metro North Railroad
Great video my friend
Thank you
The hatch on the front of the mta genesis is like the icing on a cake, I don't know why and don't care. So beautiful
But it still looks strange on the Amtrak units
Great Video!
Thank you

Wooooohooo!
New video!
Yes
I do look forward for the Metro North and Amtrak P32s and Shoreliners and Amfleets to be replaced in the future
Yes
@@nyrailfan202 I still wonder for Lake Shore Limited if the Cafe Sleeping and Baggage cars will replace soon
Well the train is down to like 5 cars. They need cafe because people have to eat on the train because it’s 17 or so hours. Everything else can go
@@nyrailfan202 maybe the sleeping and baggage can have a different design car if that’s the case I do wonder what electric/Diesel engine they will use in the future especially the future shoreliners and amfleets
Well replacement coaches are built by Siemens so the charger makes the most sense
Great remake, but there is an error at 3:03 it’s a f69phac not a f59phac.
Does anyone know if the ConnDOT P32AC-DM Locomotives will get the CT rail Paint Scheme like their P40DC and P40BH Locomotives without the CT rail Words like the CT rail Bl20GHM Locomotives.
I expect the P32ACDM fleets will be around for quite a while, just like the FL9s were the longest Classic F series holdouts. This is especially likely now that the coronavirus pandemic has strained transit agency and Amtrak budgets. (Of course, if Amtrak goes under, their fleet might be out of service for a while until Metro North/ConnDoT can pick it up.)
Siemens has said that a charger dual mode would be possible. And it would be low enough for penn station/gct so there would be no reason other than cost not to purchase one. Whereas the Fl9’s were not replaced because there was no alternative to modify into a dual mode
@@nyrailfan202 The problem for replacing the P32AC-DMs with dual-mode Chargers isn't with making them, but with Amtrak/Metro North/ConnDoT being able to pay for them.
Yes
Great..
Thanks
8:50 *CORRECTION* Amtrak operated out of Grand Central during 2017 and 2018, not 2018 and 2019.
I had some clips of the P32AC-DM you could’ve used, oh well.
I actually went out and got some of my own for this one. Obviously can’t do that with retired equipment
@@nyrailfan202 Amtrakguy365 has a recent episode on the F40PH, he got some footage from a UA-camr named Jackmp294.5tm, he’s got some vintage clips on the E8’s, SDP40F’s and F40PH’s.
I’m aware of him, I used some of just clips in other videos
Can you do the history of the LIRR DM/DE30AC’s? That would be interesting!
HI yes this one is better episode
yup
But if I haven’t had made the first on I wouldn’t have learned enough to make each episode better
5:10 C3s at the Kawasaki factory ;)
Yup
Awesome video! What song is that at 8:14?
That’s the SuperMarioLogan Intro.
Like train
6:30, so they both operate off under-running? then what's the difference?
It’s F69PHAC
So are you remaking all episodes?
No, just the first couple
3:03 it's not f59phAc their known as f69phAC
9:45 WHY? Are the P32AC-DMs unreliable now?
Simple: just like Amtrak's P40 and P42 fleet, they're old and tired. Even though they were rebuilt, I'm pretty sure that the Dual Mode Genesis locomotives are still showing their age somewhere.
I really will be upset when these are replaced
Yeah I like how loud they are
@@WallabeeBe4tles me too
3:02 F69PHAC not F59PHAC.
Yes
no no no replace my p32ac-dm
No charger
Yeah I never liked the turbo liners. They were bull crap.
But they were from the 70’s so how good could the have been
@@nyrailfan202 they weren’t good. They were better suited for the French rail system than in America
That too
