Every American Electric Locomotive Reviewed in 10 Words or Less 

I like how old electrics can generally be classified as either "cute lil guy" or "DAMN. HUGE"

He described NJT's entire roster perfectly 10/10

6:28 For those who may be wondering, he was about to say "mandated passenger variant." EVERY. FRICKIN'. TIME.

5:16 Fun fact, the original EF-1 set is still around and preserved at the Lake Superiors Railroad Museum in Duluth Minnesota, they even let you go inside the units.

I always found the shapes electrics came in funny, you have so many that are just a box on wheels, all the crocodilian variants of the steeplecab, a couple bulldog noses, and the **ABSOLUTE GIGACHAD** of the GG-1.

3:12 fun fact, 4 (initially 5) of the 6 are preserved, 6710 is at two mountains, 6711 basically punched her ticket to preservation at the canadian rr museum, by opening the line in 1918, 6712 was donated to the town of mount royal but they sadly scrapped her as they could not find a spot to display, 6714 is at the halton county rr, and 6715 is at the canadian science and tech museum in ottawa. The scrapped one 6713 was used as a spares donor. And 6710 recently got a beautiful cosmetic restoration.

fun fact: there is a DD1 that was preserved at the railroad museum of Pennsylvania

Great to see another installment of this great series, once again covering many little known electrics that even I didn't know exist, especially from the New Haven.

I find this to be an amusing summary of the electric locomotives of North America! Also, I didn't realize just how many electric locomotives were produced for lines that aren't even electrified anymore (N de M, BC Rail, Northeast Corridor freight, the Milwaukee Road). Thanks for making this!

The ACS-64 is basically an American Vectron

The fact that you included the GF6C, bonus in my mind. Props on the research done!

5:53 '"We built this locomotive" -Some random guys in the USSR

the reviewed in 10 words or less series is one of my favorites, and it has its funny moments

The Alaska Railroad

6:29: *MANDATED PASSENGER VARIANT*

Love the narration... bordering on scandalous... almost made my scharfenberg uncouple 😂 My fave loco was the E60... big, boxy, and brash... plus a little unsteady on long runs...

Damn, I was about to do my own while I waited. There are way more steeplecabs than I thought, though.

It's cool seeing the GE E50C on here. Never saw them but they were operated near where I grew up in SE Ohio. Ran coal dug up by the Big Muskie (largest ever dragline excavator) down to a conveyor line that brought it the rest of the way to the now demolished AEP Muskingum River electric plant.

5:41 PRR GG1: "The Giga Chad and Magnum Opus of Electric Locomotives"

1:38 Got me some Pat vibes a infamous Irish shunter made out of scrap parts.

Imagine if Cowl Unit did “Every British Rail Locomotive reviewed in 10 words or less” or “Every American multiple unit reviewed in 10 words or less”

Love em' small n' compact review. Now we need MUs either electric/diesel MUs

I've seen the MILW EF-1 in person.

I volunteer occasionally at the Western Railway Museum, and I was waiting that whole video just to see if you included the Sac Northern steeple cabs. Glad you did!

3:56 you mean Sacramento?

Alp-44 deadline is 🔥. Was there in December and it was a truly mesmerizing experience. My favorite locos at such easy access, and you can go in them…

6:31 Yes. They did had electric operations however its was short electrified line. Since they didn't have the proper amount of electrified lines they were sent to storage for over 10 years in my opinion NdeM had wasted the potential of these electric engines

first comment and we are all ready to see this on veterans day

6:29 As I usually say.. *MANDATED PASSENGER VARIANT*

Do a video of every American Electric or Diesel multiple units described in 10 words or less please.👾

B&O mentioned! Also do you know of any places where i can find more info about their third rail operations? i didnt know they had any attempt into it

this was great. someone really needs to go into the history and mechanics of these, or their lines. There some wild facts about many of these

any other locos we need to find to be added on as "DLC" to this?

The NdeM E60s ended up going the Black Mesa and Lake Powell railway

I’m going to need a video of the steam engines with pantagraphs. I’m interested on how you’d do it with rolling line

Thanks for including Canadian locos.

“Powered by the glorious power of Siemens” 😂

This will be the best video ever

I like how our alps in mtl have the horns side by side.

Can you do ten worlds or less all American narrow gauge steam locomotive classes

Would you be able to do something like this with EU locos?

ponemah mills electric is at the connecticut trolley museum in east windsor ct

My favourite was and still is the MILW EP-3

lesgo new vid

Suggestion Steam locomotive wheel arrangement reviewed in 10 words or less

EMUs next?

3:52 so Pennsylvanian version to the Crocodile locomotive

Iirc the GG1s could for a short period of time when starting a train do overvoltage which meant nearly doubling the power output of the locomotive..

6:30 LMAO 😂

6:36 got me dyin on the floor😂😂😂😂😂😂

When it comes to electric locomotives, it can be said that you have the mandatory Brazilian variation

nice

2:48 V8 ou "Escandalosa" representando como sempre 💪😎🇧🇷

You forgot the iowa traction railroad boxcab electric locomotive

I like these electrics

"Tight curves in a chunky package" are we still talking about locomotives? 🤣

What about exports?

You missed the Dan Patch ones.

MANDATED PASSENGER VARIANTS (i know the jokes dead)

3:58 Sorry but we let Connor McDavid into the cab

Why the Little joe’s are described as soviet… o cannot understand and wish for someone to please elaborate

YAAAAAAAAY

Happy Veterans Day!

Where are the mandated passenger variants

Vill någon ha köttbullar?

When's the next "(insert railroad here) steam engines (or engines in general) in 10 words or less"

Am I the only one who thinks electric locomotives with steam engine siderods and wheels look really good?

Cowl Unit Productions has reviewed US electric locomotives. American Electric Locomotives. The GG-1 is the gigachad of the electricified PRR. Wow that was funny.

Trolleys, trams, and alcela: are we a joke to you

WHAT ABOUT THE NJT ARROW III AND SEPTA SLIVERLINER IV AND V's

"Now in one word!" *BOX*

Yeah

Day 1 of asking cowl unit productions to make a "every southern pacific steam locomotive in ten words or less"...

I love little joes

1:27 DK&C 60-TONNER'S 4 LIFE!

I Dare you to do this but with Texas Electric Railway, once you learn, you can never go back

I want to correct you on something. 3:26 that 25 ton #7 Belonged to the Cornwall Street Railway light and power company, not Montreal Park & island

man the lirr stuff

4:54 headhunter and commander thire use this music.

I'm so used to the old mic it feels weird to here cowel's voice without a shitty mic

Ayyy

aem-7

4:28 thats what she said

"Now with a slightly bigger hood"... AND EVEN BIGGER CAB NUMBERS!

What about X2000, Acela, and Avelia Liberty? The high-speed trainsets should count as having locomotives.

Should have finished with Iowa Traction

Should've use Electric Feel as the background music im just sayin' 😅
