I can see that a number of the Northeast Regional services you claimed here Dom, had double-ended ACS-64's. I wonder if they're doing it to demonstrate less moving around for ACS-64's when the new Airo sets come into service.
@@sjrailfan35 Yeah that's what I meant, although it kinda does puzzle me of how the Airo sets will turn out seeing as they will have a power generator unit inbetween the coaches and ALC-42E locomotives. Why couldn't they just decide for the locomotives to be dual-mode powered with themselves using a pantograph AND running on diesel power? That's a very unusual combo if you ask as it would look like the ALC-42E's would be on diesel only, just with something spare attached using the pantograph. An EMU version of those (even if they ordered some other type of EMU not being Siemens Airo coaches) would've also been just as useful doing the electrified-only runs on the Northeast Regional (Boston South Station to Washington DC Union Station) and the Keystone route.

I’ve heard that they’re trying this method for faster turnaround times.

What camera did you use? Also, I love the clacking sounds of the tracks, so satisfying
I use a Panasonic HC-VX870 4K Camcorder.
