Electric Trains Galore! 

RIP BM&LP and N de M power:(....

sad they had to close down. the irony in the fact that it was transport for a coal operated power plant - clean electric trains for a very polluting power plant

oh they had alot in the early through mid 20th century

That if CSX, BNSF, UP, decide to electrify their lines

The government being cheap af:

Yeah that's the first time I saw it

@R4ndomP3rson544ツ you guys are a bunch of nerds

@@chris-8597 Then why are you here? Lmfao Don't tell me your ass went through all the trouble to go to a train video to comment that lol. If you did just that then get a life, if you are seriously watching this on your own time them shut up, and stop being a hypocrite. That's babe❤

Spoken like a Chicagoan❤👍🏻🚂

You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! Glad you liked it! :)

US has lOOOOONG way to go to match up even to 1/2 of German railroads. problem is in germany- raqilroad is government owned- DB- freight and Passenger. same in france, UK, Russia, ect. In USA railroads owned by private companies, and theyare not too interestedd in investing in electrified FUTURE of railroads. Their tracks are terribly banged up, especially in long distance routes.

"Thank you for being supportive and not making fun of us like other Europeans" To me (as a European), it's probably some sort of inferiority complex. "Hey, you do almost everything better than we, but at least we have better trains!" Or something of the sort. 😉 You cannot really compare railways in the USA to those in Europe. The 1435 mm width (forgot what it is in feet and inches) is about the only thing they have in common. You can sail around Europe (there are seas to the south, the west and the north), you can sail through Europe (major rivers go from the North Sea to the Black Sea), so a lot of cargo is moved by ship. Also, railway companies are still largely state-owned, and their cargo divisions used to be inefficient, so either they collapsed or got bought by Deutsche Bahn Cargo, which is now a very large world-wide transport company. State ownership also means that the state can decide to build high-speed railways with taxpayers' money. They /do/ have economic benefits, as can be witnessed by the economic region created between Denmark and Sweden with the Øresund bridge and tunnel, but using the word "tax" in the USA and not putting "lower" immediately before it, means that your political career has come to an end. Then there are the distances in the USA. Electrification is expensive, and the USA is a /really/ large country. Having said that, the Russians have completely electrified the Trans-Siberian Railway, and that is considerably longer than the longest possible distance in the lower 48. But again, state ownership. Finally, freight will always take precedence over passenger traffic in the USA. In Europe, it's the other way around, except on dedicated freight routes, such as the one going from Rottterdam in the Netherlands to Germany. The result is low passenger numbers. It's a bit comparing apples to oranges, because Amtrak is largely for long distances, but Amtrak, supposedly serving a country of over 300 million people, has just over 30 million passengers a year. CFL, the Luxembourg railway company, a country of just half a million people, has just over 20 million passengers a year.

digimaks I don't live in the US but I do know that their passenger service is owned by the government. In the 70s they amalgamated all of the private companies into the government owned entity called Amtrak. The regional governments also set up their own commuter/regional brails lines too. Like Amtrak, they are owned by some form of government. The UK on the other hand has actually privatized all of their railways and now they're owned by a mish mash of private companies. I'm originally from the UK and have experience with British trains. As far as the US needing a long way to go to match Europe railroads, I will give you that one. The US is substantially behind

Most of what little electrified lines we have in the US are owned or controlled by some govt or quasi-govt agency, whether it's Amtrak or a local commuter rail agency. However the vast majority of the US rail network is owned by private companies, and there is little incentive for them to electrify, since they'd end up paying higher property taxes since electrification is considered an asset. In fact several North American mainlines have been de-electrified since WWII since selling off the copper and reducing property taxes made too much economic sense. Black Mesa and Lake Powell is sort of an exception since it exists purely to haul coal to a huge power station, so there's a ton of cheap electricity available and it's in an area where hauling in diesel is fairly expensive. In Europe the tax issue doesn't arise since most of the rail infrastructure is owned in some way shape or form by the government. If the US govt every took it into its head to make rail electrification tax-exempt, you might see a lot more of it.

What's the TTC? The ? Test Center?

Alex Paumen TTC = Transportation Technology Center. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_Technology_Center,_Inc.

Transportation Technology Center. They will probably do speed tests, structural tests, and (hopefully not) crash tests on them.

Thank you! And yes, that is one of if not the last of the single ended E60s left on the BMLP.

It's in northern Arizona near the city of Page.

Defunct N de M engines operating in AZ, USA. BM & LP. Also now defunct.

Still a couple on Deseret Bonanza line

RIP BM & LP and N de M power. : -(......

RIP BM & LP and N de M power. :(....

MS&T Subway & Rail Videos + Right electrifying Busy lines or coal lines will allow higher horsepower locomotives on to trains csx should consider electrifying the pope’s creek branch it carries heavy coal loads and passes on the NEC which is electric.

Rest in peace BM & LP, and N de M power. :(......

RIP BM & LP

Same!

RIP BM & LP and N de M power. : -(....

It is quite a neat operation.

Although electric locomotives are wonderful, a freight locomotive needs to be heavy for adhesion. And yes, I hope the big 4 get on electrification, making their lines double track, and using concrete ties and welded rails.

Thank you!

Thank you very much! South shore is super cool. Just wish they still ran the Little Joe's! I'll have to do more of both next time!

I know, right? The Little Joes are pretty impressive. Though I think "Big Joe" would be a more accurate name. As for the South Chicago Branch on the Metra, if you plan to do that, do be careful because South Chicago isn't the best of neighborhoods. In fact, you'll definitely want to keep your eyes open. Same thing next time on the Blue Island Branch, Blue Island sadly isn't the best of areas either.

Metra MP36 407 They are called little Joes because they were ordered for the USSR under Joesph Stalin during the Cold War and they were built for 5' gauge and our railroads have a little gauge compared to that.

It's been almost 2 years since the IC highliners have been retired

CoasterFan2105 IRM still has a little Joe that's operational

Thank you, Alessandro!
