Amtrak P32 & P42's Towing Amtrak Regionals On Metro North!

[@metroidarcturus1943]

12:40 Wow- just wow. I have NEVER seen an Amtrak consist like that before.

[@hoscalequality2548]

I know what you mean. The Metro liner, super liner and the Aem-7 it’s very rare that you see that in person.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

@@hoscalequality2548there were no super liners

[@railfannerjs6308]

@@JoeyLovesTrainsit looked like an ESU (electric singular unit) 😂😂😂 Instead of an EMU.

[@monica012077]

Wow 2 P32AC-DM's pulling that dead AEM-7 NE Regional! That's hot...I recognize 709's horn anywhere :)

[@AmtrakFanClub]

You're mainly on the Empire Corridor right? So that's why you see 709?

[@monica012077]

CircleRail Yes, but can also get a few going to Grand Central Terminal.

[@composerlecturer]

Ah! I finally spotted what looks like a New Haven station sign. Makes sense. I've enjoyed these shots.

[@TrainBrain2000]

thanks

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Cool trains in this video

[@cheezywolf7777]

I liked seeing all of the Amtrak action. The M8s bore me though, because I see those every single day.

[@taurus-astrobike104]

THANKYOU🤓👍👍 That WAS FUN !! 🖖✌

[@apr859]

Good video keep up the good work

[@burdizdawurd1516Official]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this video has 21 thousand views? It certainly is a great snapshot of days gone by... when the Toasters were doing what toasters do. It deserves every one of those views, in honor of those locomotives on this continent who died after giving their lives in service at home. We salute you, #savetheAEM-7s #savetheHHP-8s #savetheScreamers #savetheMBBs #SD45livesmatter #savethegraftonanduptonfleet for your service.

[@TrainBrain2000]

Thanks so much man!

Great video, and what rare and awesome catches indeed!

[@shorelinerailproductions]

Ok if there was a power outage then how were m8’s running

[@Cpr1234]

That Vermonter had to be a rare shot indeed! Usually you only get cab cars on Keystone Services

[@ROTE]

Those cab cars also run on the valley flyer

[@Robbi496]

Interesting, I never knew the Horizon Fleet ever got out of the Midwest or California!

[@lolidek271]

Great vid. Mega rare day.

[@CaptainTransit]

Alright, let me get this straight. M8 cars have both 3rd rail shoes AND pantographs, correct?

[@TrainBrain2000]

Magnetic Moron Yup, you got it

[@Andrew_G4CH]

That last consist was definitely weird..

[@AcelaBoy2151]

It was Vermonter 57

[@LookOutForTheTrain]

Oh wow sick! So that's where that pic is from.

[@oregonwesternrailroadprodu5239]

the rarest thing I've seen on amtk is a CITIRAIL unit leading a cascades train

[@ginantsfan5]

Most Awesome Vid!!!!!!!

[@TrainBrain2000]

thanks

[@cnrailfan8000]

If there was a power outage how could Acela run respond asap

[@mcdonnelldouglasmd-1184]

Maybe APU's

[@jonschares4219]

Well, the AEM-7's had a bad day. :(

[@AcelaBoy2151]

Actually, it had nothing to do with the AEM-7's. There was a power outage in Rye, making all trains go diesel between New Haven and New York. Also, Acela service only ran between New York and Washington. I know because I was there

[@jonschares4219]

oh.......

[@AmtrakFanNEC927]

Nice ! A regional regional !

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

This was taken just barely under a year before I moved to Stamford CT.

What The ....! oof thats rare!!!

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

Cool video!!

[@acfhs-nb9oi]

Will horizon coaches be more common on the NEC if superliners take over the midwest routes?

[@Maunico0809]

I thought they didn't allow Diesels in Penn Station

[@DELTAFORCE747HD]

you should have filmed in Stamford station

[@NHCX]

hey i would like to railfan with you here if i wasnt 3 years late lol anyway cool video only if i caught this aswell when i was at mulford not long ago

[@martinjuulandersen9694]

Are the lokomotives diesel or Electric? Thought the North East Lines was all electrical.

[@nathantzhang]

Was the AEM-7 dead because it hit a truck? I remember a AEM-7 doing that once at Mansfield, MA or RI. EDIT: it’s MA

[@EpicThe112]

Nice video and the P32AC-DM would go diesel from New Haven down to Sunnyside yard in Queens, NY then electric power to 34th Street Penn Station Amtrak station due to the East River tunnel banning diesel exhaust

[@AcelaBoy2151]

The P32AC-DM's actually can go electric also because of the third rail on the engine

[@paulw.woodring7304]

My somewhat educated guess about the Diesels towing the motors is that there was probably a problem with the overhead wires somewhere on the line you didn't see.

[@AdamKlimchock]

Nice catch!

[@TrainBrain2000]

thanks

[@composerlecturer]

Where were you shooting? And it's "be sure to comment".

[@TrainBrain2000]

at milford train station and at new haven train station

[@aid3782]

It looks like SLE stole some P42s, P40s.. etc

[@REDACTED4503]

Amtrak sold P40s 833, 834, 836, 838 and 840-843 to ConnDot for SLE service.

[@davidng2336]

That last train was the sh*t.

[@REDACTED4503]

It is so rare what do you mean???

[@davidng2336]

@@REDACTED4503 LMAO that means that’s the highlight.

[@Maunico0809]

So MNR trains only ran to Stanford?

[@REDACTED4503]

They go as far as New Haven.

[@rebooted.jupiter_]

Were you in Connecticut or New York?

[@arthurgraves4927]

they coupled up

[@cnrailfan8000]

What the difference between. P 32 p 40 p42

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

bryce lacaille P32 is a passenger version of a freight D8-32BP 40 is the older brother to the rebuilt P 42's.

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

Ryan Hatterer My mistake it's to be a P-32ACDM is a dual mode diesel electric, and can run on the 750 DC 3rd rail, P-40 is a older unit as the P-42's are rebuilt P 40's. now the other unit Amtrak has is a D8-32BWH which is what I for some reason got mix up with the P-32.

[@josephnadler5521]

@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 Some of the P42s are rebuilt P40s

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

@@josephnadler5521 Not many though, That's why I stated the P42 is a newer version. Far what I know only about four or five were rebuilt but the rest were built new.

[@metrobostonbusesanrail]

why was thare a aem-7 on the vermonter it is always p40s or p42s?

[@TriStateRailfan]

Idk Is it just me or do they always look rusty and BACKINTHEDAY age

[@metrobostonbusesanrail]

+xxMineVSCraftxx // xxRailVSTrackxx yep

[@AmtrakEnthusiast]

When the Vermonter gets to New York it switches to a diesel but when it is on the northeast corridor it normally has a electric and it is rare to see a diesel on it when it is going for Washington to New York. This is why they call me Amtrak Enthusiast lol

[@metrobostonbusesanrail]

Amtrak Enthusiast ok thanks for the info

[@AmtrakEnthusiast]

metro boston buses an rail your welcome they should call me M.R Amtrak Information lol

[@robertvaughan4442]

Are those P32 or P40s?

[@TrainBrain2000]

both p32's p40's and p42's

[@Class1Railfan]

TrainBrain2000 Where's the P42?

[@TrainBrain2000]

Class1Railfan the p42's are numbers 1-207 and 109 4 and two others numbers unknown

[@AcelaBoy2151]

Amtrak has P40's 825 and lower, so if it is 800-825, it is Amtrak. The others are Shoreliner East, and all the 700's are P32s. The rest are P42's

[@ModelWarehouse]

would have been a lot of great shots but for constant movement of camera. Please if you can cope with a little constructive critisism. choose where you want to shoot and leave the camera to do its work. don't decide to manually move the camera with all its vibration and shake to change the shot in the middle of a train moving out. i had to stop watching after a few minutes because I couldn't cope with the constant changes and shake which spoiled it for me
