I came here for the SPV's but enjoyed everything. Unbelievable footage!! Thanks David

[@nyshortline]

Nice to see SPV's in action. Great catch.

[@PikalaxALT]

Considering the technology of the late 80s and early 90s, that is some excellent quality video.

[@TEMPLE7D]

did that 1st mnrr fl-9 have a hancock air whistle

[@vladimir2366fa]

Thanks you, Videos very nice,

[@travelsonic]

1:26 the way those SPVs run, its hard to believe they had as many problems as they actually did.

[@Gruezi583]

great quality video for being from so long ago

[@TheRandomRailfan]

0:57 and 1:25 are both prime examples of what happens when snow gets in a horn!

That spivvie whistle is so cute lol

@davidmagill1 in 1991 the slumbercoach was moved to the BOS section (at the same time the Lake Shore moved to NYP), meaning that this video likely predates Amtrak vacating Grand Central.

This Video has SPV 2000 train, When was the video taken?

[@MoskitoGirl]

video published in October and winter is not in that month

@travelsonic The problems with SPVS is that they catch on fire.

[@mark10788]

FL-9 #489 had a head-end genorator in 1992 so a turboliner was needed.

[@AllAboardAudio.]

Didn't the SPV-2000's retire in 1991 by Metro North. Not CDOT Cuz their last run was like 2006

[@mark10788]

Amtrak Did buy some SPV's but dont run anymore on amtrak that was all in the 1980's

[@nhlives]

DOOOOOOOD!!!!!

[@jaysmith1408]

what does Metro North have against sweet sounding horns, they all make me cringe when they honk in these videos. is it just coincidence and all the trains with those horns just happen to pass right then?

[@ROTE]

There was snow in the horns
