2:59 Get rekted Steven. Overall looks like a great chase!

[@RailfanningMaryland]

Nice to see 108 leading the metroliner and the Avelia Liberty

[@MrPedroramos8911]

Excellent footage and great train chase

[@Bus4025]

OMG, SCHLOOP! That is GREAT videography. Those engines are gorgeous.

[@adithyaramachandran7427]

Excellent catches.

[@FanRailer]

Thank you very much!

[@kod-ee-wom-pl]

Hello? Nice capture! Beautiful sharing. The scenery is great. Enjoyed watching. Thank you for the lovely video. Have a good day 😊

[@allyreneepenny9447]

What a beautiful train the new Acela 👌💯😍

[@billplatt]

You know it's a big deal when they whip out 9800

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

I don't care about the horns, I care about the ride they will give once they enter service.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

THANK you.

[@RobertBay70]

Notice how an Amtrak's horn is smoother and brighter than a freight horn? Looks like an Acela delivery.

[@trainswithdan]

Cause different tuned

[@amtrakandcsxrailfanning164]

Yea nice video with the hertige unit 108 leading

[@TheRailwayDrone]

Loving the abnormal sound of the clickety clack because of the Jacob's bogies lol...

[@sethrambo8074]

Super clean catch

[@Finetales]

These locations are amazing! Would love to see normal revenue trains shot along this route.

[@SKYSCRAPERTELEVISION]

Check out the Playlists on my Channel ( There are many) I have a ton of Conrail & NS videos from this line.

[@kptrains]

Enjoyed the chase!

[@CSXO721PRODUCTIONS]

Love that First Gen K5LA

[@FanRailer]

No such thing as a "first gen" K5, and even if there was, this would be FAR from that.

[@eclipz4129]

@@FanRailerBruh that’s only a short abbreviation Railfans use to pronounce different horns, that’s all that is. When will people finally understand that? Nobody has time to write out the nerdy long titles for horns each and every time. 😑🙄

[@richtrams]

Nice work!

[@CSXRP]

Wow man this is so awesome!!

[@jacobschwartz2158]

Here we see TS3 fresh from the factory.

[@PGHammer21A]

This trainset uses power cars 2109 (currently leading) and 2108 (chasing). Unless they can be swapped, that is how the trainsets can be told apart - by their power cars. (I have not seen the numbers on the previous two test sets.)

[@BobsOGaugeTrains]

Great video. Im waiting impatiently lol for someone to release midnight blue P42 in o-gauge.

[@Noodle_Train]

Awesome footage!

[@JC-bl9bo]

Very cool video!

[@DVR01]

Second. I wish the new Acela Avelia Liberties would also run on long-lasting batteries to run on freight and passenger paths all over America and Canada.

[@davidng2336]

That’s not how they were designed lol. And it’s not possible really. However Amtrak did buy battery electric train sets, at it’s rumored that they brought ALC-42E locomotives. They would replace the ACS-64s, but a handful of the 2014 electrics will remain.

[@HotShotDesigns3D]

Batteries are heavy and will increase weight, Hence limiting its speed

[@No-le9qf]

@@HotShotDesigns3D the weight doesn’t really effect trains speed but it does decrease acceleration

[@froztytrainfilms9148]

@@davidng2336 they’re not replacing the acs64s

[@izzygcphoenix]

What alternative route is there from Hornell to Philadelphia? They'll have to deal with Southern Tier Line congestion any way they go about it unless they go up the Corning Secondary or something like that.

[@katjerouac]

I really hate the spots on those doors.. still I can't wait till they're in use at least it's a minor upgrade

[@acegarr22]

The trees are changing

[@kirkzevola5004]

Cool video

[@WNYRailfan8801]

Which one were you after more, the Avelia or the 108?

[@tonycoldtrain]

Greetings from Saint Petersburg

[@texasandpacific610]

So will the chargers ever make it here to Texas for operation? And will all the genesis locomotives be retired?

[@piedmontrf81]

Yes and no.

[@ericwashington2171]

Find out next time on dragon ball Z

[@SCRM_Railfan]

Are you gonna make more videos of Mta 6688

[@Cartbs229]

When will these go in service and I am in specifically not just 2022

[@FanRailer]

There is NO set date yet. 2022 is the most specific you will be able to get at this point in time.

[@Cartbs229]

@@FanRailer ok

[@No-le9qf]

Should be early 2022(late winter,early spring)

[@ericwashington2171]

How far away from home do you end up after chasing

[@itsyallgirldomo-tq9pp]

Beep the horn right more people will come state court IRS.

[@Cartbs229]

Oh man

[@odiliusrailfans]

My country Indonesia has beat you at high speed rail Project as Kereta Cepat Jakarta Bandung using the Fuxing CR400AF😂

[@piedmontrf81]

Yeah, like he said. Even though those trains may be faster, they still aren’t as reliable as the ones here.

[@No-le9qf]

Is it built by your own country?

[@banksrail]

@Tom Doesn’t have any help? Last time I checked these trainsets where Designed by France. So maybe the US does have help. They just don’t choose to use their resources wisely.

[@banksrail]

@Tom I know what you meant. France (Alstom) “engineered” those Avelia trainsets. It’s literally based of the TGV. The only thing the US did was pay them to do it and help with the final assembly process.

[@KCSRailstudios]

@Odilius Herlambang nobody asked and nobody cares
