It’s crazy how I’ve seen some of these trains still operating today. I find the period prior to the Kawasaki M7 locomotives very fascinating.

11:43 never would have thought a K5LA would stray onto a Turboliner. Nice!

These FL-9 dual-mode locomotives were monster activity back in the day on MNRR, Amtrak, and LIRR, too!!!

Glad there's more video emerging of the starships (FL9-AC's). Overall they were a failure, but they were definitely little rockets!

At the time i was disappointed as they didnt sound like an F unit. Aesthetically I would take them now for sure

The FL9 diesel locomotives at the Metro North Railroad are old school

@Transporter_Not_Statham I remember they did that for a short time, but I don't remember the reasoning why. On one of my other videos, I have some clips of the Broadway Limited with a Horizon coach as well

Turboliners were fine. Not sure why they had to remove them.

Is the "baggage car" that the FL9's pull off at Albany an HEP generator or something vs an actual baggage car I'm guessing?
@DavidPaul-dh5iuАй бұрын
@mgzuck It was a HEP generator as far as I know. If you look at the shot In Albany, It seems Rev up, so to speak, as the locomotive throttles up, which is interesting.
