That's neat. I've never seen an Acela actually getting towed before, let alone towed behind an entire NE Regional consist!

That’s the thing you would imaging only on games not in real life, awesome! I like this station I have to go at some point

[@AcelaRailan2150]

Awesome insane that just one sprinter can pull so many cars at a pretty fast speed, lots of horse power!

Saw the thumbnail and thought they were bringing back the HHP-8’s lol

[@CrabMan2539]

Funny you say that cuz while maybe not when you posted that, but they are kind of coming back. They're returning as NPCUs and as of last week or maybe a couple weeks ago they've started testing.

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

I heard the power cars on that set were 2000 and 2002. I saw that one later on Friday serving as 2172 so it has been repaired and you can see it in service again.

[@MSRTA_Productions]

Yep this proves that the Sprinters are stronger

[@amtrakfannec]

Dang, I wish I knew this was coming! 😲

Who’s gonna miss the old Acela when it retires?

[@KaciCooperations]

Rare catch!

[@connecticutmultimodaltrans8226]

Woahh! Awesome catch! When was this filmed?

[@jeffreysrailfanning2817]

[@mr.conductor5444]

I never knew acelas had couplers

[@KaciCooperations]

The front and the rear use machine to opening the coupler.
