Raw Footage of Siemens Charger SC-44 4601 Cummins QSK95 Testing @ The TTCI in Pueblo, CO (125 MPH)

[@CaptainTransit]

It must be a great feeling to be a Siemens employee and see your handiwork successfully barrel down a track at 125MPH.

[@dante_m]

I mean they see that and more in europe every day but yeah it’s kinda cool I guess

[@GenesisSanctuary]

I was right, it really is incredible seeing this thing at full speed. I also really love the fact that it has strobe lights on the roof. I never thought those would make a comeback on new locomotives. The LED screen just below the front window is cool, too.

[@DaimosZ]

To all you 8-11 year old "railfans" who shouldn't be posting stuff on KZbin yet and who like to comment how awful the chargers are and the P42DC's are better Remember that in the early 1990's, every railbuff and their mother hated the P42DC's and prefered the F40PH's and P30CH's over them for the same reasons you hate the Chargers (Ugly, claiming it would jump the rails any given moment, shouldn't be hauling passengers). They also said the same thing about the F40PH's, FP45's and P30CH's back when they first came on the rails in the 60's and 70's and said how prettier the F and E units were This is a generational gripe people have when they can't accept change in the transportation industry. Maybe because I love model trains by LGB and PIKO who made models of various German locomotives similar to the Siemens Chargers and Vectors as to why I like these. Besides it's not about just looks of a locomotive that mean it's a success, it's how it performs and runs that defines success. Let these locomotives do their stuff once they enter service and decide for yourselves on if you like them or not. Not to mention they aren't replacing the P42DC's, a seperate locomotive is likely to replace those on long distance services as the Chargers aren't suited for long distance travel Chill down y'all

[@eeyore.official]

People are allowed to have their own opinions on the Charger- maybe YOU need to chill down. It's not just a generational gripe, you even said you like it because its similar to European trains. For those of us who prefer the typical "American train"- THIS is absolutely not it- and therefore a VALID reason to prefer the F59/P42s. It's also putting you in an absolutely terrible spot to assume everyone who disagrees with you is "8-11 years old," when that simply isn't the case. Not everyone has to like the Charger- which was only implemented because the federal government is overzealous with their regulations. This would not exist if the EPA wasn't corrupt and full of shit.

I like the way it looks. However will take a while to get used to the sound of fast running diesel engines, same as with the F125. Then I am wondering why they are ordering 125 mph locomotives, when most tracks in the country still are authorized for 79 mph only. Even on the Lincoln service top speed is only 110 mph. But a fine locomotive for sure.

[@OntarioTrafficMan]

The San Joaquin will soon be rerouted onto a brand new 200mph high speed line between Fresno and Bakersfield which has been under construction for a couple years already (search "California High Speed Rail update" in KZbin), but the line will not be electrified for many years in the future since for now it's just an isolated segment. In the meantime Amtrak will be running as fast as they can with diesel locomotives, which is where this new 125mph beast comes in.

[@OldSchool-px1xk]

Didn't know that. Thanks!

[@g8ymw]

I don't know the rules in America but here in Britain, the maximum speed with trackside signalling is 125 mph. To go faster as a routine needs in-cab signalling. Also needs overhead electrification (In our case 25kv AC). At the moment we only have HS1 which comes from the Channel Tunnel to ST Pancras Station in London. Maximum speed is 186 mph I think.

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

Well, I am happy to say that Amtrak uses these locomotives for California, Midwest and Cascades service, and Amtrak is ordering 125 ALC-42 variants of these chargers for long distance services like the Zephyr. 2 or 3 of these long distance chargers are currently in service with more expected in the future, and a dual mode variant called the ALC-42E will also be built with Amtrak's order of new corridor rolling stock to replace the Amfleet 1s and the Talgo 6 sets that were retired from the Cascades service. The ALC-42E locomotives will be used in NEC service to avoid time consuming locomotive swaps. So, you bet they're gonna use these Chargers, a LOT! Sure, it sucks that the F59PHI was retired, and the Genesis will also be going adios, but I think it's for the best for Amtrak, the Genesis are getting hard to maintain, and just aren't as fuel efficient and can spew out a lot of emissions unlike the Chargers. But, hopefully one or more will be preserved.

[@CaseysTrains]

MARC's passenger cars are rated for 125 MPH. I don't think any other commuter rail equipment in this country is certified for that speed and that's the goal they're trying to achieve in CO.

[@Nouvellecosse]

That's extremely interesting. I've heard that MARC has the continent's fastest commuter rail before, but I figured it was the higher track quality or because there were longer distances between stops. I didn't know the actual rolling stock was higher speed

[@MJofLakelandX]

The MARC Penn Line primarily is suppose to be the fastest regional commuter [non- Amtrak] service in the country and the distance between stops are pretty vast in distance. When it comes to sharing the same tracks with Acela Express, these MARC cars can't lag behind to keep-up a pretty tight interval between the various services along the NEC. Plus it's stretches over a long distance (practically the length of the state) while keeping a 90+ minute schedule cycle.

Hmm. I see several important design flaws. The cab window is swing in, so it would obstruct some panels. Also if the locomotive hit a truck and the window was blown in, this could cause injury to the engineer. Also there isn't any side plates to protect the equipment under the prow. The vents are so big that it can actually compromise the overall strength of the car body.

There's no such thing as the P32DC-AM. Just saying. The P32AC-DM, on the other hand, does exist and is of similar age to the P42DC which the Chargers are to succeed in Amtrak's fleet.
