Engines of SEPTA Silverliner Vs

[@chandlerbranchrailfanprodu5928]

Married Pair? I didn't know trains could have babies! How stupid of me! JK! LOL! Anyway congratulations on 1.1K+ Subs.

[@TTTEFAN-ke3xp]

BNSF 8010 LOL good one lol

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

kek

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

LOL I was waiting for someone to make that joke!

[@youraveragegearhead9993]

That means they are permanently welded together.

[@seanthomasbickerton8040]

They won't have babies as long as the train pulls out on time :-)

[@3985uprr]

These cars have provided great joy for me over the years. I love everything about these cars. The horns are great, and I just adore the railfan window. I have probably made more railfan window rides aboard these on KZbin than anyone and I keep going. I’ve gotten a lot of criticism for these cars being of low quality, not lasting long and being ugly, but it doesn’t dissuade me one single solitary bit. They are among the greatest MU’s

[@ee-yc3dy]

I laughed to death when you said "wait a minute wrong photo"😆

[@theguyemert9311]

that should be a t-shirt "I survived Septa-geddon"

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

That's honestly a good merch slogan idea.

[@CA-Rails-Aviation]

Well now it’s in the Kerch shelf but I can’t afford it :( I wish I could so I can support you Thunder!

[@TheOwoshiArchive]

The Silverliner Vs are, without a doubt, my favorite SEPTA Vehicles.

[@Ih8kone]

I would love to see ready-to-run scale models of these EMUs in HO Scale.

[@sharksman20rocks]

3:41, YOU WUT M8? (Dies laughing)

[@malachimuhammad-dy2ow]

The Silverliner 5s have different codes. 1. Local service - Nothing next to it. 2. Express service - Red (EXP) Coding. 3. Limited service - Blue (LTD) coding.

[@nlo114]

First glance at the title I read 'SEPTIC' Silverliner. (note to self: book optician's appointment soonest)

[@christophercripps7639]

I too survived SEPTA-geddon, a couple City Transit division strikes and 2008 Phillies parade (not to mention my train pulling down the overhead catenary wire just north of Fern Rock). Though the Vs are better in many respects to the II/IIIs, and in some to the IVs I preferred the IVs seats and ride. I recall the Vs had a distracting vibration even in the center of the car. Am not sure it was the frequency or amplitude (mayb was just me). And the IVs also have a bit more over-the-shoulder privacy next the two bulkheads on either side of the center vestibule. In other words the IVs offered some premium seating with more leg room & privacy in the center vestibule & a solid wall behind you in the seats just outside.

[@954aviation]

Florida East Coast is like my 2nd local train line!

[@josephedomwony8619]

Yes I've been waiting so long

[@lachlanjenkin1659]

Septa during septaggetion: we are so screwed Amtrak Marc and NJT: 10:11

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

10:34 you used a Comet I picture. Comet IIMs look similar but have bigger stripes and destination signs; Comet IVs are identical but with center doors. I believe only 1 ALP-46 and 1 Comet V was actually used on SEPTA service in 2016. 11:06 I only remember MARC equipment being on the Wilmington/Newark and Media/Elwin lines. Great episode nevertheless. Some errors but they’re tolerable

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

I Remember MARC Equipment being used on the Paoli line. My dad's gf occasionally rode it to work in the morning and I remember seeing it on occasion on the line too.

[@trevorthefoamer220]

Silverliner Vs: -is broken- Amtrak Marc and NJT: Like a good neighbor, State farm is there

[@3985uprr]

I owe a lot to those cars. Love them!!!

[@calebkao2239]

I remember commuting to and from Drexel during the summer of 2016 on the Paoli Thorndale line. Trains would easily be filled by the time you reach Paoli. And we’d have to go all the way to Philly and skipping the rest of the intermediate stops because the trains were overcrowded.

[@WillF40PH_train_railroad]

I miss the Wabco AA2's on the Silverliners.

[@himbourbanist]

the V's are just really good looking trains. I was excited when I went to Denver for the first time and saw them on the A line going into Union Station from the airport

[@3985uprr]

I noticed they aren’t running that many Silverliner five train sets lately maybe about five or six on weekdays. They got all those new cars and they’re wasting them. I love to make head end rides on the railfan windows and I haven’t been there in over a year I’m gonna start going back next week to do some more of them

[@TheBestTrainsAreReal]

Thanks I have been waiting for this!!!

[@MetroSouthRailVideos]

The horns on the Denver ones sound like K3H that MBTA CTC-5 cab cars have.

[@malachimuhammad-dy2ow]

The Silverliner 5s are often seen on SEPTA Train services such as... #6480: Warminster LTD. #9759: Trenton EXP. #4846: Fox Chase. #306: West Trenton EXP. #9241: Wilmington LTD. #9595: Thorndale EXP. #5250: Norristown EXP. #9349: Wawa EXP. #2522: Doylestown EXP.

[@MBTA1067]

I've been here since the beginning :)

[@penkagenova7073]

LMAO when you were about to show us the horn when the horn horned my phone ringed Andi did not here the horn *PERFECT TIMING*

[@anasiacameronelijahedcpndc4324]

This week I saw the silverliner v

[@seankaiser2505]

I’m living north of Denver right now, and I take RTD’s commuter rail network into the city. Love those Silverliners! Also I personally like E-bells, deal with it.

[@mikeythecrafter4296]

OMG YAS I BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS VID THANK U :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

[@Ih8kone]

Have any of the old Silverliners been preserved?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Only 1 is confirmed to be preserved. Silverliner II 9001 which is stored on SEPTA property but will be going to the Reading museum in Hamburg PA sometime soon.

[@Ih8kone]

@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren I would love to see scale models of them at some point.

I want to see a video of the ACS-64s

[@TTTEFAN-ke3xp]

Can you do the Septa broad street line B-IV cars plz

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

what's wrong with E-bells?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

I kinda find them too common and a bit annoying.

[@MetxsightseerRailfan]

Why are you using the song Angel Eyes in your intro?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Angel Eyes?

[@MetxsightseerRailfan]

@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren you know the song made in the 80s

[@MetxsightseerRailfan]

Lime angel eyes i meant

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

@@MetxsightseerRailfan That was not Angel eyes. That was Snowdin Town by Toby Fox used in Undertale.

[@TPB-OPA]

Is this thing still on? Shoot how do I fix it

[@charlieschreiber3]

I’m a Green Bay Packer’s fan and those are the K3LAs that Metra’s cab cars use.

Cool

Why no shots of the cab interiors and controls?

Psst. 6:23 *In background* Undertale intensifies.

[@railfanjames7699]

Do you have any idea when the supposed silverliner six will be coming to septa?

[@Blank00]

Was the propulsion system made in-house by Hyundai or supplied by Mitsubishi or Bombardier??

[@TWF1003]

k3las are similar to those on wes commuter rail. also the horns on rtd are k3ls canadian tuned

[@TrainSounds]

Sadly Philly’s Hyundai Rotem plant is no more.

[@pacificproductionsofficial]

What happened?

[@michaelpham8368]

Pacific Productions yeah, what happened to the plant?

[@malachimuhammad-dy2ow]

Oh, the Silverliner 5s have different codes on their panels. 1. Local Service: Nothing next to it. 2. Express: Red Coding. 3. Limited: Blue Coding.

[@danielleclement885]

7:31?NO RTD ONES!

[@deborahbryant607]

Do the market frankford line

[@IJC144]

YES

[@Kmaster2007]

2:26 I saw a set of those Delaware 5’s on the paoli thorndale line a few days ago

[@TPB-OPA]

Why does the panel say septa when they are not leading

[@Alexbenjamin0627]

I love the e bell tho

[@daleearnhardtjr8673]

I can still hear those rtd silverliners from 5 miles away in denver

[@EpicThe112]

Nice and for the AEM-7 they actually entered on December 8 1987 since there is an Allentown Morning Call article about that if you were to search it. the obvious solution would be electrifying Lansdale to Bethlehem with I-78 exit 67 Hellertown Park and Ride. because that was the original Reading RR plan

[@Mr.President0911]

I can’t wait till you do the acs-64’s

[@southside2055]

Correction on the RTD Silverliners. The numbers are 4001-4066.

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

Jeremy Sur I found that out too. I know I live in Denver.

[@seminolegonzalezairlines7757]

What do you mean express sets were pulled by toasters when Septa was in trouble???

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Both AEM-7s, the ALP-44, and leased ACS-64s pulled express sets during SEPTAgeddon. The leased ACS-64s were preferred however due to their younger service age and to help familiarize crews with them as SEPTA had purchased an order for ACS-64s of their own which are all now in service.

[@baetsimpson]

Can you please make a video about the DC Metro's 2009 crash? It's technically a subway, but it was designed to be a commuter/subway hybrid. Thanks either way.

[@nyrailfan202]

Yes

[@josesaavedra9459]

Hey what if the silverliner 4 and silverliner v had wabco aa2

[@SDRP_4406]

10:39 Not be a bother but you used a Picture of a Comet III for the Comet IV. Just a little heads up ;)

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

They look similar but I'm not surprised I mixed the 2 up. thanks

[@SDRP_4406]

Yup

[@larailfan1714]

It is never good that you hate E-bells (I love them) Will you do the ACS-64 ever?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

No. They haven't even been in a full year of service yet and have little to no history behind them yet.

[@TheBestTrainsAreReal]

844? I didn't know 844 can turn into a Septa V!

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

LOL

[@TPB-OPA]

The new kids? I thought they were just born! NVM! Btw good job getting a lot of subs.

[@WhyDoWeNeedHandlesLOL]

Does SEPTA have ebells on their Silverliner Vs?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Nope. None of the Silverliners have or had bells.

[@daredneckskwad9917]

[@christophercripps7639]

SEPTA-geddon - up to 20 minutes late: SEPTA, u can count on your RR train being late except on the one day u really need it to be. ;) Still, SEPTA sure beats driving into center city on weekdays on the "Sure Kill Crawlway." Or SEPTA beats walking from Jenkintown to Bethayres station in the snow (done it).

[@nolantherailfan5048]

The 5's were known as the "2010 new children"

i noticed the nys m8 on metro north

[@kwydir7362]

next is the acs-64 now right?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

No because half of them aren't even in service yet. Next is the J.G Brill bullets of the NHSL. I'm not just doing Regional vehicles otherwise it'd be a very short series

[@pineowl7558]

3:39 2019 wot m9?

[@StocktonSubber]

One question. Is the SEPTA ACS-64 gonna be the 9th episode of Engines of SEPTA?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Most likely no. I'll try to focus on other equipment for now and I won't be just talking about regional vehicles, I'll touch on subway cars, Trolleys, the diesels, and of course the ancient EMUs and diesels, even the Ex RDG F units will get mention

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

Not to troll but I strongly dislike the Silverliner V cars, and prefer the VI cars over the Vs. For one thing, the seats on the Vs are not as comfortable to sit in as the VIs. I also really hate the exterior because it just doesn't look right. The interior and exterior don't look as good as the previous four versions BUT the only thing I actually like about the Silverliner V cars are the monitors above some of the seats.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

I think you mean the IVs as the VIs haven't been built yet and wont be on the scene til the 2030s

[@MalachiMuhammad-xg4xx]

Well, they're becoming teenage rail cars.

About the robotic voice we have the same technology here in Germany on the class 425 but it sounds more like a woman voice

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

It sounds like a woman on the Vs too. But as said in the video passengers and even crews prefer the good old manual PA system like on the IVs or shouting in between cars like in the old days
