Series Playlist: • Engines of Amtrak
After a bit of a delay, its finally here! Amtrak's Genesis locomotives came in at a time when the railroad's F40PH's were getting up in age. They'd been the primary motive power since the mid 1970s, and by then it was the 1990s. Amtrak needed a new and modern replacement to their boxy engines. General Electric was chosen to manufacture a replacement. It went under the name AMD-103, but would later better be known as the P40DC, or more generally speaking, Genesis. This line of locomotives would prove to be a major upgrade for Amtrak and continues to impact the railroad to this day.

Hey all, sorry this took so long to release. This episode required a lot more work than I expected, and it ended up being pretty tiring to finish. I was also sick and stuffed up while recording most of my narration for this, so if I sound any different, that's why lol. Hope you enjoyed the video!

@TrainsForDayz Год назад

Fantastic video!!!! I’m honored to once again be a part of your narrated video series again!!! I enjoyed seeing my video at 11:51 with Amtrak P42DC Heritage Unit 156 leading Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Train 777 which was certainly a sight to see!!! Amtrak’s GE Genesis locomotives have been a large part of the fleet for well over 30 years now and its always fascinating to see and hear them on both intercity and long-distance trains throughout the country, particularly for me in California when it comes to intercity routes like the Pacific Surfliner or Long-Distance routes like the Coast Starlight and Southwest Chief, they are quite the sight to behold and I will always remember them as one of the many icons of Amtrak, much like the F40PH, Dash-8 and F59!!! Of course now, we are living in a time of innovation and becoming more environmentally conscious/friendly while it might be sad to say goodbye to them with the new Siemens SC-44 Charger and ALC-42 Charger locomotives entering service which have been growing on me I will still always remember seeing and hearing them in soo many unique and exciting ways of pulling and pushing trains throughout the rail network!!! Amazing Job!!! :)

The first train I ever rode was the Silver Meteor pulled by a P40DC in Phase 4 trailed by 2 P42DC in Phase V. While the train arrived to my destination an hour late it was a smooth ride and the horn sounded awesome plus hearing them rev up with the chuffing sounds was just awesome.

@Blur4strike Год назад

It'll be quite a bummer when the Genesis gets completely phased out on the Amtrak lines in Washington state. It started with the SC-44 on the Cascade route and ALC-42 on the Empire Builder, though there are P42's still in use as "rescue/backup" motive power due to the ongoing teething issues with the "Charger" family of locomotives.

@himbourbanist Год назад

@Frequent200FLYswimmer Год назад

I grew up with Genesis so I'm extremely attached to them. They are more mighty looking and have nice horns and I like the louder rumbling sound their motors make more than the Siemens locomotives. I really hope they stay around till 2080s even if they are just 3rd string backups at the time.

@natesmainlinevids Год назад

Very nice video Jared. I was hoping I would’ve been able to have shown my photos or vid clips in this episode but maybe for your Siemens Charger episode soon. In reference to the locomotives, I kinda now think it would have been great if Amtrak’s state sponsored services in California would have planned to purchase to get Genesis units of their own. I think a Tier 4 version of them would have also been great especially for long distance service even since GE built the ET44 for freight. As far as Siemens being the most for Amtrak’s future, I just wish we had some variety for new coaches and locomotives for their trains even for state sponsored services. Heck I think Alstom would have been a great option for new doubledecker coaches on the Illinois and California services since Nippon Sharyo’s deal ended up failing.

@pakboimsal8498 Год назад

Alstom should build The Coradia Multilevel cars for Amtrak to replace the California and Surfliner cars since both Metra and VRE have purchased the coradia cars to replace their gallery cars.

I honestly wonder how much life these locos have left in them. GEnerally Electric did a good job with these things and it will be a shame to see them retired soon. That being said, with the infrastructure bill and potential new Amtrak routes coming soon (as well as new commuter services), I wonder how much longer they will actually remain in service. Michigan Commuter rail with genesis' locomotives until someone builds a clean sheet design (or they order chargers) would be godly.
