Great episode as always. It's nice to see other channels presenting news from their respective regions as well. Those Ontario Northland Charger sets look amazing, and represent the luxury that every passenger train deserves, even the smaller ones. (Basically the modern equivalent of the Pennsylvania Railroad's streamlined doodlebug [4663], in which even smaller branch lines receive high end streamlined railcars.)
Those Ontario Northland passenger sets are strange to see, I wonder how they will do in the harsh environment. Great to see the regional update trend continuing!
It's going to be seasonal running from spring to fall I believe
When the Northlander was suspended, the Tempos were assigned to the Polar Bears... The return of the Northlander with new Siemens equipment is what surprised me (probably everyone), probably the best equipment since the old Trans Europ Express hand me downs?
125MPH certified set on the ONR where it will be limited to 80mph? 60mph? I think ONR should also fight for grants on track and signaling where ONR will run instead of just the sets...
Anyway, some used LRCs to complement the Tempos on the Polar Bear Express would be cool, too.
Quite spectacular.
@@alfred5674 No it will still run in the winter, just on a different schedule with lower frequency
@@FredIsMyName22 so season schedule fhen
Hey everyone, I know I didn’t get into that much about Northern California, due to time constraints and wanting to make my update on the shorter side, I didn’t include a lot of stuff. However, I will be diving deeper into some NorCal stuff in the future. Sorry to all of you that live in NorCal, nothing against you. And, I’ll have better acoustics when I record that.
I love this series. So many interesting train things happening in the US. This series makes me excited for change.
California high speed rail is moving along very smoothly
They got a lot of kinks out of the ay, just need funding to get going
@@KcarlMarXs You mean to CONTINUE progress. It's been "going" for 7 years now. Personally, I'm looking forward to the laying of track and signal systems.
The only California high-speed rail rgat is progressing fairly smoothly is bright link west
California high-speed rail is anything but moving forward this rail hasn't progressed on any level its over budget missed managed by the California high-speed rail board it has only Been built about 15 miles so far most of the work has been done in the. Sanjaquine valley in Central California
& They still got 7 - 8 years of Completion.
Great to see more progress on CAHSR! It would be great if you could get some NorCal news on there too. There's a lot more going on up north in terms or rail improvements.
I am posting a video going in depth about a lot of NorCal stuff, including, but not limited to: stb rulings about the former nwp, golden gate railroad museum operations for 2023 and more
Can’t wait for the next on
The Toronto-Quebec Corridor has recently been given an update on the HFR project. The Tender for designing the project said for the corridor to be double tracked, electrified and being able to handle 186mph service. So if Via has some in put siemens won't only be building Velaro's for Brightline west.
Those Aero cars are commuter class quality.
Good
hope to see soon tracklying on the California HSR and maybe also stations that are being build and soon testing trains and starting already service or some thing like that.
Nice coverage
Love the channel ! From Canada, keep up the good work !
Can't wait for this episode of TMOTRR
cant wait to see them when i go on holiday nvm
Thanks for the video!
New video is Pog
Cool 😎
Welcome to the 21st century America!
The Metra design should’ve been the Pullman paint. It would match well with their sd70machs that look like their original paint.
9:35 I honestly thought that 873 was chosen because it was involved in the Glendale train crash of 2005.
1:22 - Making local trains from Connecticut to Penn Station!? That sounds ironic as LIRR will be going to Grand Central, making GCT a more important transportation center. On second thought, moving some Metro-North trains out of GCT will make room for the Long Island trains?
Neither the green nor red lines on this map will require any infrastructure changes?
I overall love the new CQ400.
I honesty think metra is gonna be very different in the future seeing potential battery F40's and SD70MACH's pulling Alstom Coradia bilevel cars
That ONR Charger set reminds me of the Nashville Predators
Why no breakwall on the San Clemente portion?
I think EXO's new Charger locomotives should be called SC-44R, the "R" standing for the locomotive having the same REMOVABLE nose as the ALC-42!! What do you think?
Exo will have CP power when an SC-44R breaks down.
No discussion of the new major MBTA projects is a shock to me..
You forgot to mention the Collegedale, Tennessee train derailment.
Trinity Railway Express here in Fort Worth Texas needs to change out their locomotives to the Siemens SC40's They are still using emd units F40phi's
Its nice to see that the new VIARail trains have entered revenue service.
The one that has 1826 is where I'm currently at.
The F59PHRs should be called "Tow Truck II" to pay homage to their predecessor in the same role, F40PH 800!! The F59PHRs are now unarguably doing the EXACT SAME THING SCAX 800 did when it was in service, transit rescue. And I'm not gonna lie, the F59PHRs are literally replacing SCAX 800 as "The New Tow Trucks", since they are now used as backup engines when the F125s fail!!
Metrolink should sell SCAX 800 to Metra
The problems are many with Canada's "High FREQUNCY Rail" (NOT High SPEED), but the four major problems with it are:
1) It can't be compared to the US' Northeast Corridor (NEC) because the new route avoids populated areas to the south, thereby drastically reducing potential ridership.
2) It can't be compared to the US' NEC because it will be high frequency, not high speed. This is in part because the abandoned rail route to be taken has areas of unstable bog on the Canadian Shield which would make high speed rail either impossible or even, if resolvable, extremely expensive to build. The government has shown no interest in spending what it would take to remedy the situation, if even fixable.
3) The project, as proposed will tie up huge amounts of money, with limited impact and will discourage investment elsewhere in a country with a very large land mass.
4) As proposed, the project will be done outside of VIA, putting the future of VIA very much in doubt.
For point 3, doesn't 50% of Canada's population live in the Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto greater metropolitan areas? I'm not saying proper planning for a good ROI is unwarranted, but looking at land area instead of population is a poor way to think about making railways great again.
@@ChasmChaos Except that there are other corridors - like along the 401, in Alberta, and BC that could benefit from a federal investment in rail and this project, which is designed to fail, in my opinion, will dry up both funding and goodwill for other projects
@@scottc1589if it's setup to fail, then that's the real issue. Irrespective of which specific corridor it is.
Can you link me to articles that go into details of the project and why it will fail?
@@scottc1589 The 401 is already covered, HFR is meant to cover the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal City pairings, and eliminate the CRJ flights between Ottawa and Montreal (20 minute flight) for good.
It's not meant to replace the current line, but supplement it, at a higher frequency and run like a European passenger mainline (it's likely DB will build and operate the line)
So the Avelia sets are two years away from repairs so they can get started, the Airo train sets are defective already and years behind and millions of cost overruns, the Charger engines have big screens on the side that fill up with snow and stall, and Siemens passenger cars are still stored awaiting something in Chicago. Meanwhile, California still doesn't have any track or a fix for the sinking valley floor that makes catenary impossible.
Terrible year for Amtrak, and the Superliners are being replaced with no double deck design so that means more Siemens cars that don't work. Wonderful.
Lol, complete nonsense! You got any sources for any of this, bud?
You live in a fantasy world!
I'm pretty excited for the New Alstom cars even though I like the Gallery cars.
Exited for new via trains
Siemens is going to need to expand its US manufacturing factory. Its the rail grid that needs investment now
I can see Mexico being a likely customer once the delivery time is not too long. A better trainset to start to at least offer would be a dual power locomotive that could use electrified lines and switch to fuel where its not economic yet to upgrade. This meets carbon ideals without having to have the electrification completed for what may still be a low riding line that was harder to justify. It may also mean no all of the line needs overhead lines (tunnels, sea coasts etc). We have just ordered battery-electric locomotives for our region so they can run on electric before the line electrification is needed to be fully complete.
Hurry up with the this month on the railroad I am just getting impatient it's already February Just find some news from January and post the video
2:23 - I do not see an *engine* unit in this train!
The engine is out of shot at the rear of the train.
I hate the idea to have the Metro North trains to terminate in Penn Station instead of Grand Central. Why? Many People have been complaining that the Penn Station is bad because it is too busy and has way too many trains. who's dumb idea is it to give Penn Station more trains. That's like if there is a trash can overflowing and another one that's half full and you pour the half full one into the overflowing can for no reason.
I know its small compared, but talk about the south shore NICTD
Metrolink is on it's last limbs. At this point we're looking at a major service reduction for an indefinite time, or them bringing back 2 more "active" F59PHRs. If stuff doesn't improve soon, we might start seeing foreign power lead metrolink trains.
U mean like they’ll borrow F59s from other railroads or sth? Hopefully that happens
@@Ferromexfan4081 no they’ll borrow p42s dash 9s/8s sd70s all that
@@railfanryan that would b interesting. Also I do have a theory: AMT/EXO is retiring their F59PHs in 2025 so if metrolink gets really desperate they could buy AMT’s F59PHs. Hopefully that happens
@@Ferromexfan4081 they wouldn’t do that
Is any part of the hsr CA line fully complete (excluding electrification). No sign of station construction
No mostly just a bunch of viaducts, overpasses, bridges for now
@@TheRandCrews if it is dropped, well at least the central valley got some non farm investment and new bridges. Is does guarantee that la-SF-san diego will get even more gridlocked and sitting in traffic daily will be the norm all week. Plan to leave home at 5am and see morevtalent leave CA to anywhere where breathing gas fumes is a given.
The Peninsula corridor is nearing completion with electrification. That will be the first project to complete and start running new electric trains.
The first Central Valley segment is completing all major construction in March and will start laying track on the completed guideway sometime this year.
So first trains running on the Peninsula section by 2024 and first HSR testing in the Valley probably by 2025.
@@stephendoherty8291 it won’t be dropped
@@darthmaul216 I don't see that either but for the naysayers the best way of killing off any future rail lines anywhere in North America would be a small example left to rot in a democrat strong state. The stumbling block is that we all have no patience and seeing something being built in a "backwater" is near ignored by a media who would be building up excitement for its completion and asking where next. If there is another earthquake nearby of any "significant" level, would the repair costs not kill it off? (and the money directed at road-grid repairs)
The Amtrak Wolverine line has been waiting and waiting for their new rolling stock. Hoping it's 2023....the current ones are so bad. Developing countries have better carriages than Amtrak Wolverine.
How Amtrak is going to run there sleepers on Siemens trainset unless they go to pods like business class flights
These sets will not replace sleeper services. They will only be used on all-seater routes.
Browsing through this channel, it strikes me that its worldwideness is equivalent to the worldwideness of the MLB's worldseries in which the entire world is only represented by the USA.
Not gonna lie I get this account and the Amtrakguy365 mixed up too
Yeah, the channel name needs an urgent change.
The World Series isn't only the USA, there's also one team from Canada!
1:33 wait so is GCT Closing?
No, LIRR and Metro-North will operate trains to both Penn Station and GCT
@@WorldwideRailfan That'll be more effective to let trains have an option to either major train station in NYC.
@@WorldwideRailfan ok cool
I really want pittsburgh to have a better train network, and a dedicated Amtrak night train to new york
Welp, guess I'm first. Always good stuff on this series! (Mostly.)
Hello
I heard that the amtrak airo are over budget and late
If Canada keeps that up they may surpass the US in passenger rail 😂
