Peekskill NY on the Hudson Line. June 9, 1992

I love the Amtak with the FL9 leading and the turbos pushing from the rear.

[@1990sRailfan]

Yes, that was very unusual.

[@jackslc01]

When did the FL9 Amtrak retire?

Epic video dude, love seeing this old stuff! You've earned my subscription, no questions ;)

[@1990sRailfan]

Thanks dude! Funny, it doesn't seem that long ago to me. I've got more old stuff from Peekskill on my channel. Thank you for subscribing and commenting. Always nice to get some feedback, I will check out your channel.

Great videos man, keep them coming!!!! :)

[@1990sRailfan]

Thanks man. There is plenty to come.

[@jaytalks8091]

Awesome video! Great to see the FL9s in their day. Unrelated question: what's the song playing in the background from 6:45? I'm hearing something that sounds like "so high" in the lyrics but that's a pretty broad Google search!

[@1990sRailfan]

That song is "Hole Hearted" by extreme. The music was coming from a workshop located near the tracks. I think they were listening to WPDH. We are hearing the tail end of the song.

@@1990sRailfan Thank you! I probably would have never have found that on my own!

@@1990sRailfan What’s most interesting is not so much the song per se, but it serves to anchor the video in time. It seems the song was pretty new when it playing here. It makes this feel so much more like a window into history.

[@1990sRailfan]

@@jaytalks8091 You are like me. I'd be doing the same thing if I was watching footage from say 1962. Railfans go out of their way to take sterile footage, were only the train must be captured. Actually, all the surroundings, including people and noises will make that footage more interesting in the future.

Why was it necessary to use two FL9s on a six car train?

[@jackmap]

10 days before I turned 2 - I really do miss the FL9's :(

[@1990sRailfan]

Ha! Time flies man. I remember looking at train photos from 1972, and thinking, "I was only 2 years old then". In fact I still do that.
