SEPTA Heritage Unit Round Up

I already made a video on SEPTA's 1st Heritage unit 280 but now the rest have been released and boy it was difficult to get em all as some were yarded before I could get to em, exhaustion from work, or traffic. We travel across a good portion of SEPTA's system from the Lansdale, Norristown, and even the Media lines to catch each one and minus the 280 catches in the other video this was each and every time I caught a SEPTA HU. Fair to say these are among my favorite HUs of any railroad now XD There's a bonus unit snuck in the video!
The list is as follows
RDG
SEPTA 280: Former RDG 9018, first car delivered for the Reading and the 1st IV ever built. SEPTA's oldest revenue railcar!
SEPTA 293: Former RDG 9022, accidentally dressed as PRR at 1st. Look closely for the keystone outline if you wanna see that eyesore
CR
SEPTA 304: Former RDG 9027, didn't see the CR can opener as far as I know but a handful of other cars, likely PCs did have the same livery briefly until 1983.
PRR
SEPTA 276: Same number upon delivery to PC. Obviously PRR never had these cars as they were defunt by 1968 but the livery matches that found on the Silverliner IIs that came before them on PRR, I see it as a nice "What if" livery
PC
SEPTA 401: Former PC 270, Penn Central's 1st IV.

Apologies for being a day late to this, but happy birthday Thomas! You were my inspiration to start youtibr, and I really thank you for that!

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome! SEPTA is my favorite modern day commuter railroad.

[@susannaandkeegan8305]

I hope that you do more sodor railway documentary because your flying kipper video was awssome 🙂

[@MightyMezzo]

I would have expected that the Penn Central logo would be scrubbed off each and every rail car.

[@LongIslandRailfanner]

Nice Tom! And Happy birthday you're videos are a very big part of my childhood!

[@RedzuanCiLz91]

I would love to see restoration the old train.

[@vicnis625]

Happy birthday fellow railfanner

[@mccoy79productions66]

Nice share friend!

[@2010train1]

I just realized that there is now 4 Conrail Heritage units

[@Inquisitor6321]

@20:30 PRR on a Reading Line. AND @24:30 we have a Reading Silverliner on a Pennsylvania Line.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Yep and other way round too. Kinda funny

[@RDC2003]

It was fun catching 293 at woodbourne

throwback

[@Jonathan-Adames-402]

I knew you would be here

[@PhiladelphiaWX]

@@Jonathan-Adames-402 yooo

[@Inquisitor6321]

@12:50, that Conrail logo seems quite out of place on a Silverliner.

[@ZumaTLabrador]

I have an idea for the next edition of the train wreck series The famous Gare Montparnasse derailment on October 22 1895 129 years later where the Granville-Paris Express train overran the buffer stop, causing it to cross the station concourse and crash through the station wall where the engine was left dangling

[@MetroGaming75]

8:50 why does it have a camera on top?

[@DouggieFresh50]

You should do a video about Mountparnasse train station crash

[@Set_Vessel]

Any update on the Silverliner IVs future?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Except these 5 getting a face-lift no.

[@coconutmall333]

Heritage stickers, I’d heard SEPTA got vintage Trolleys with heritage color. 👍🏳️‍🌈

[@Countryballslover]

I saw 276!

[@YaboyMX595]

If 9000 and some of the single unit of the IV’s can heritage units why not PCC 3’s? I mean the cream (pause) and green scheme is cool but I think one of the trollies should be able to get one scheme from line the 70’s or 90’s.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Word is out that's gonna happen soon ;)

[@YaboyMX595]

@@Thunderbolt_1000_SirenOh Ho ho ho hoo! It seems septa is starting to care about the PCC’s schemes again. Lol

[@shaneterrill4612]

Can you do a documentary about the Palestine Ohio train accident please even though I saw it on the news it wasn't informative as you are so can you make that documentary please?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Once the final report is fully released I'll have a video up by February 2025. The mass media is very uninformed, idiotic in basic railroad terminology, and made flat out propaganda/covered up some factors of the accident.
