Engines of Amtrak - EMD GP40TC

Special thanks to The Winnipeg Railfan for helping narrate! ( / @thewinnipegrailfan )
Amtrak is usually known for their carbody locomotives, a staple of passenger trains in the US. Amtrak is also, more notoriously, known for their freight locomotives converted into passenger specifications. The GP40TC was one of those, luckily though, it was far more successful than some of its early counterparts. But how exactly has this Canadian locomotive stayed on the rails for over 50 years now? Find out in this episode of Engines of Amtrak!

Fun thing: My school bus in the morning runs right alongside 150mph NEC tracks (like feet away), and one foggy morning an engine like this (presumably one of these, a switcher/work train engine of some sort) came flying by southbound (coming out of the Providence yard presumably) by itself. Didn't catch a number, has always been fairly mysterious to me.

[@Melbourne-transport-vlogs]

Cool!

[@vietnamesesmerf508]

Possibility being transferred from yard to yard, but I’m not sure why it would be going at that speed. Idk maybe the engineer wanted to have some fun

I like how when Jared starts narrating again the music changed to his more calm and peaceful music from The Winnipeg Railfan’s chaotic trumpet music

[@bluerazor7049]

This Copyright crap needs to calm down, people now need to get a approval or alter their video's. I enjoyed the old video about this locomotive, great story!

[@Michael4201YT]

you do know they do that too avoid suspicion of people stealing shit right? They require people to ask permission or pay for the rights to use their content because this isn't the early days of the internet anymore. Content stealing is rampant and they have too protect their content however they can

Amtrak Guy: Im gonna redo this series KZbin: I will take down Engines of Amtrak V2.

[@YaoboyExperiences]

Also on 5:53, #650-664 was used on Amtrak's GP40s back in the early 1990s. When they returned to Helm Leasing in the late 1990s, Amtrak reused the same numbering on their HHP-8s until ACS-64s came in 2014, and they were retired.

[@JasonTrew2018]

That unit you showed, 772, is now restored at TVRM as NC&StL 710

[@jaysmith1408]

Please remind me why it is apparently advantageous to drop 1000 horsepower and remove the turbocharger, and what horn they used? Great video as always, my unknown friend.

[@Vixen1525]

Maybe because more HP is not needed, and a turbocharger is another part that can fail easily. In general more HP does not add more power in certain uses. It really depends on other factors aswell. But that is just what came up to my mind.

[@patrickmartin3322]

People complain the HEP unit makes a whining noise. Of course it does. It’s a freaking 2 stroke Detroit diesel revving it’s guts out. And when the blower and turbos of 2 stroke Detroits reach a certain speed they create a harmonic whine.

So regarding the gp-40s Amtrak bought, they were backups for the dash 8 which was a backup the for Genesis. So that means the backup had a backup, lol

KZbin: yo dawg, I heard you like re-uploads. So we're making you re-upload your re-upload so you can re-upload while you re-upload!

[@devvydoesstuff]

And then we are gonna make you re-upload your re-upload so that while you are reuploading your re-upload that you already had to re-upload while editing a re-upload so that we can just make you re-upload your re-upload of a re-upload of a upload and then make you re-upload that re-upload while editing 5 re-uploads again

[@tom-and-mom]

Correction: Amtrak leased 15 GP40s from helm leasing, not 11.

[@PGHammer21A]

Note that while EMD built them, they were NOT built in the US - they were built in the EMD London, Ontario plant. (EMD was not the only part of GM that had a plant in London - there were two other GM plants there - one being a twin of the most famous GM auto plant that did NOT build Corvettes - Lordstown, Ohio - which built Camaros and Firebirds - including Trans-Ams. The other was for GM Truck and Coach - also known as GMC - in the Coach case, I am referring to buses - transit buses in particular. Like EMD, a surprising amount of GM Canada's Coach product found itself in the US - among the customers were New York City's MTA, SEPTA, and first DC Transit, and later successor WMATA. However, not even the surprisingly-successful transit bus business saved GM Coach - in either the US or Canada; basically the same thing that happened to EMD - the businesses were spun out and sold.) I know about the transit buses because I rode some of them in WMATA and ex-DC Transit (acquired by WMATA) in 1976 and 1977 - in the tailchase of their careers with the transit authority. Built in Canada, but inspected at the then-home of Team Suburban - Baltimore, Maryland. (In addition to being the assembly line for all Suburbans, the heavy-duty C/K pickups - in both Chevrolet and GMC branding - for the eastern US were built in Baltimore until the tailchase of the Clinton administration. However, the success of the Suburban did not save GM Baltimore from the bean-counters. (We ALL know *why* the Suburban was successful - in both Chevrolet AND GMC branding it could carry large loads, tow large loads, or both. It wasn't JUST the Secret Service that purchased and/or leased the beasts of burden - so did military installations and law enforcement; an even dozen wound up in the Maryland State Police.)

[@kevinwong6588]

I though GM Baltimore only built Astro vans post 1984?

[@gp40railfan44]

You should do engines of Amtrak GP38-2/GP38-3 (the ex LIRR GP38s not the ex GP40TC)

[@richardwilson3400]

The southeast Florida commuter railroad tri county rail tri rail for short started out using former GO equipment and had some M.K locomotive rebuilds when first being operated all tri rail rolling stock retained there GO color's and markings one of these types of GO locomotives was used for the tri rail startup.

[@railtechadventurer]

Hey AmtrakGuy365! I have another idea of some other Amtrak locomotives you could make some episodes on a bit similar to these. Why don't you try discussing MPI GP15D plus MP14B and MP21B for switching service? I'm assuming there might not be much history of them but I think these would certainly fit in for your projects. Maybe the FL9's for another passenger locomotive sound like a good idea too.

[@TheNorthYorkRailfan]

Does anyone mind if I use some of the GO transit parts for my engines of GO transit series that I will do?

Still wonder why they removed the turbochargers -- losing 1/3 of your horsepower is a big hit, and is probably accompanied by a considerable loss of fuel efficiency as well.
