All aboard! Come along as we take a look at Amtrak's Dash-8 locomotives in action! The P32-BWH, or "Dash-8" locomotives were built in 1991 by General Electric. They were essentially freight locomotives that were geared to run at passenger train speeds and equipped to provide electricity to the passenger cars. Today, these locomotives are primarily used as yard switchers and trailing units on some long distance Amtrak trains, but you can occasionally see them leading passenger trains still. This video takes a look at several of these locomotives in action in the western United States.

@Seabeejim133 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I live in Carolina now, far from any tracks,. I grew up in Galesburg, Ill. during the 60's and would ride my bike up to the station and watch all the trains and masses of passengers going to and fro. When the trains would stop I'd go out and stand on the walkway near the Locomotives just so I could listen to their low rumbling and feel the power shaking my clothes as they pulled away. I would get so excited from watching and listening to them, AND of course waving to the engineer!!! I'm 62 years old, and today you have given me that excitement that I hadn't felt in well over 50 years... Thank you again....

@Seabeejim133 6 лет назад

BNSF_Lover , You're just the right age my young friend. Watch and listen to them, dream about where they came from and where they're going to. Stand and watch them go by, carrying people to so many different destinations. Enjoy your railroad dreams, but,,, just remember the most important part of loving trains,,, stay back a good safe distance from them, and that love of trains will always be with you no matter where you are. Stay safe my friend.🤗

@foxtrot7747 6 лет назад

I certainly will. I have a few ancestors who worked for union Pacific, but sadly never got to meet them. I have some special connections with some railroad workers on the BNSF, UP, and Amtrak. The first thing I do when I see a train is think, "Just imagine the amount of time it takes to build these behemoths and how technology in these machines, how far it has come." God has blessed us with these monsters, not only to help our economy, but for great entertainment like this video. Stay safe my friend while watching these behemoths!

it would appear you don't like the sound of the 12 cylinder 7FDL engine? But that is what makes the Dash 8 unique.

That is correct, 2051 and 2052 were AMTK 501 and 502. I included 2 clips of 2052 because it used to be Amtrak and the trains that it was pulling are Amtrak trains, although funded by the state of California.

An acutal freight engine helping TWO Amtrak Dash 8's! It would be even more cooler if the UP engine was a GE one! A lot of these Dash 8's have great-sounding horns!
