Back in 2013, if you took a train from Wayne Junction into the city, there was a siding where at least 9 silverliners sat along with comet is. I believe the comets are still there, but the silverliners disappeared in early 2016 from what I remember.
Well when i went past Wayne Junction on Rail rodeo there were Silverliner IIs there again. There's a photo of 901 sitting next to them too! So no matter what there's still a few Silverliner IIs still out there.
Good job on that video Tom, like I said you can borrow my videos of the IV's. Only you except nobody else can't download my videos, you're really are very nice fella.. Talk to you later!
I'm pretty sure the Cat Train uses an old S2/3 for the workmens' quarters! You can usually see it on the West Trenton line and lumbering about at Wayne J and Roberts Yard
The part at 11:04 kind of made me laugh. (Not because of the events, by because of the way you said it.) But a lot of them were STILL sidelined for *SERIOUS Mechanical Issues!*
Thunderbolt 1000 siren productions the west chester railroads passenger cars are all X-blue liners. They've had the control pannels, pantographs, and traction motors removed. Its kind of stupider they dont have any control pannels anymore, because they could have used them as cab cars, because the trip to the stations require the GP38 to push the train.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions Agreed, E Bells disgust me, the only vehicle that looks good with e bells are those Hyundai Rotem Cab cars Metrolink uses and they are also as ugly as e bells, so you can see why I said that.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions I would like to at least see mechanical bells on these SEPTA trains, why don't they have those, isn't that a FRA safety violation to not have one.
It's not an FRA violation. Other commuters with EMUs do not have bells on their trains usually. The only SEPTA trains with bells (not counting the maintenance diesels) are the push pull sets where the AEM-7s and Comet cab cars both have mechanical steel bells. the ACS-64s SEPTA is getting all have E-bells like the Amtrak ones. Don't ask me why.
Yes sir! The trains actually pick up speed very quickly, when I get the chance I'll post some videos of the exterior/interior of them. Very roomy/comfortable, just the only problem is even in the rear unit you can hear the horns
Yes it was. First built in 1889 by the Philadelphia and Reading (Forerunner to the Reading) then used by Conrail and then SEPTA in 1983 before being abandoned 1 year later because of Market East being opened (Jefferson) as a better connection.
Thank you for experience of of SEPA traveling coolest things ever didn't know if i called remembered going reading marketplace i was there with schools trip back in education secondary educated public transportation system Wattey junction , at Jnction station and SEPTAs mode bus stop going and stand mode Of SEPTA train .
Was it that noticeable? Damn. Whatever I tried to twist it the best I can. I've never seen these in person so I can't give an honest non Wiki description on them but whatevs.
Engines of SEPTA only focuses on the equipment used by SEPTA. SEPTA never owned Arrow IIIs but they do have 2 Arrow IIs used on the Wire train and maybe an Arrow I if it hasn't been scrapped.
@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren Add me on discord, if you have it. I go there often. I don't quite remember if it is inside or out. The open part i got confused with the Pioneer that is inside the museum. But I recall seeing a silverliner there before. My discord is Tehzerr#9519
Not really The Acela's top design speed is 204mph but thanks to Amtrak and the FRA they don't let it go 150mph except in Rhode Island. Everywhere else it goes 125mph or slower.
No the main problem is slower commuters, regionals, and freight get in the way of the Acela. Plus some areas of the NEC are still wooden ties but the majority are concrete.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions I hope New NEC improvement projects will allow the Acela to go to 200, soon. Now who should replace Anderson as Amtrak CEO?
Market East sucks compared to Reading Terminal. As for the food market Reading Terminal Market that existed long before Market East was built. My Great Grandparents ate there over 100 yrs ago. As for older equipment on Septa when they decide to replace stuff they let it get run down and these "incidents" are basicly almost on purpose to get State funding via neglect and little to no maintenance. Nice little game Septa plays to get new equipment on taxpayer dollar. Last I heard there is 1 PRR Silverliner in existence that was saved. For some reason they decided to scrap all the others and give none to museums save RRMofPa. Septa does have a few old trolley cars and subway cars stored mostly unserviceable less the PCC cars that run on Girard Ave. I'm just glad I rode to Reading Terminal, rode the old subway cars, all the different P&W cars, the Pennsy MP54s, the Reading Blue liners, and Silverliners as a youth before they were all gone. The stuff today doesn't even feel like a train and with that gone I have no desire to ride them. I'd say the only remaining good thing about Septic is they still have trainmen and they are one of the last remaining commuter systems with them in the country not counting Amtrash. It adds a bit of safety and help if you needed assistance while riding. But I'm sure one day as a cost cutting measure their trains will go computer controlled, kiosk only ticket sales or phone app, and train crewless. Seems to be the way of the world today to create higher unemployment.
I only said that because someone was going to do an Engines of MBTA similar to mine but not credit me which aroused suspicions. He gave credit to Amtrakguy in the end so that's good enough. This same guy also has been bugging another friend of mine (SEPTA Railfan 1000) asking him "Hey do you have the number of that engines of septa guy?" I'm withholding the kid's username so I don't get attacked
II 9001 is currently hidden in one of their yards. Think it's Frazer but is going to be donated to the Reading railroad museum in Hamburg. The last surviving III got sold to an unknown scrapper unfortunately. Supposedly there's more according to an anonymous source but no way to confirm it
No. An engine is something that supplies its own power to a motor. A motor is something that gets its power from an outside source like catenary or third rail.
Still. Besides AmtrakGuy365 has a series called Engines of Amtrak and they also contain electric locomotives and he doesn't call them "motors" like you do. You know jack about locomotives dude. Good day sir.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions Look it up jackass. My grandfather ran GG1's for the Pennsylvania and Penn Central. They were called motors then and they're called motors now.
Philly guy here so I'm for SEPTA. But that doesn't mean I don't respect people's opinions. this is America where everyone is entitled to their own opinion right?
