SEPTA, NJT, MARC, & Amtrak HD 60fps: Borrowed Push-Pull Power on SEPTA Regional Rail (7/28/16)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Assorted action consisting of push-pull equipment, most leased, at Trenton Transit Center and 30th Street Station. To date, one NJT set, one Amtrak set, and two MARC sets are being used in service, with a third MARC set being prepped for service. Two out of the three MARC sets do not have cab cars, thus necessitating SEPTA to tack one of their own cab cars to the end of the consist, creating quite an amalgamation of equipment which I affectionately call AmMARCTA lol. Enjoy =)
Wow that is amazing, would love to see an AmMARCTA Consist in Train Simulator!
It’s a holiday special I think

People must have been seriously confused when an Amtrak train came to pick them up.
yep
They knew the trains were borrowed.
4:30 Kinda a ruff start
I’m sure that gets super confusing on the SEPTA routes that are on the Northeast Corridor and the Harrisburg Main Line.
Imagine an Amtrak ACS-64 pulling up to Ardmore saying “I terminate at Thorndale”
Yeah, I’m sure the average person would be like “look man, this train says Amtrak so you need to take me to Harrisburg!”
Amtrak's Keystones used to originate at Suburban Station in the 70-80s. 1976 Schedules www.timetables.org/full.php?group=19760215&item=0031
They should get all 4 of them AmMARCTA Transit
I think NJAmMARCTA sounds a bit better... Either works!
Or AmMARCTAtrak.good one.
Kind of cool seeing some train cars from the Baltimore to Washington DC's MARC with some SEPTA train cars being pushed/pulled by an Amtrak Locomotive. While Hyundai Rotem did a blunder which caused their Rail Car plant to close in South Philly, at least the other Transit systems from the East Coast lent SEPTA some temps. Talk about Hyundai Rotem pulling a Neoplan, but for train cars instead of buses.
One quick question - I read an article somewhere that Marc wasn't replacing their HHP8s. is it true?
No longer replacing*
They are rebuilding them.
ya ever think we will ever see an Amtrak locomotive pull a MARC train again?
Lol it's happening on a weekly basis right now.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why they got an ALP-46 from NJT when the Arrow IIIs look very similar to Silverliner IVs
The alp,.now retired,.was a gift from the manufacturer of the Norristown high-speed line cars that were severely delayed.
Actually septa borrowed that one about 1/2-way thru the video... Septa did own an alp44 loco as a "sorry we delayed your nhsl order" gift
30th Street Station has a very European look to it. Kind of like Prague Hlavni Nadrazi.
Quite a nice looking station, 30th St., with nice patterns of light & shade from the roof.
It didn't look like that in the early 80s. you couldn't even see the sky the glass was so filthy. This is the same spot in the mid 80s ruclips.net/video/WC0NckdBrk8/видео.html. TOTALLY different lol.
A third MARC set is on the way? Wow MARC is breeding spare sets like rabbits. Despite all the chaos on Regional Rail I'm sure SEPTA is secretly foaming at the opportunity to play with Amtrak's ASC-64's :p
The third MARC set is already on property. Will enter service next week.
With the SEPTA cab leading? Where'd the first MARC set go then? lol
ThebusofdoomFSX Septa has the ACS-64 now
Yes this was.quite.a.test for the 64s that septa would eventually purchase.
It’s SEPTAgeddon
this is the because the silverliner v cars out of service and septa messed up
I don't know if septa messed up. I was definitely ok that they pulled them putting safety above profit. I think Hyundai rotem messed up big time... I knew someone who worked for septa maintenance and he told me that hr wasn't being very helpful when these were pulled. A place out of Pittsburgh did the beam manufacturing that fixed the Vs
@@jbreezy101And that is why they shut down the Hyundai Rotem plant in South Philly. Now it's an Amazon facility.
Great to hear that MARC has more equipment for SEPTA to borrow! Does MBTA have anything for them to use? Btw, I love the name AmMARCTA!
5:06 hold up was the lower level of philadelphia & Morrisville Yard close
wow, SEPTA avoids ALP-46 squealing better than NJT does lol
2:30 They didnt turn the headlights off..
Give the engineers a break, they barely know how to use these trainsets 😂
Was this because of an equipment shortage? Like the silver liner 5s were all out of service?
Bingo
I’m Sure Alp46’s In Phildelphia 30th Street Station…
love martatrak transit
Is septa/Marc liable for any damage to the ACS-64s?
I don't think MARC would, SEPTA, definitely. They will be liable to damage to about everything they leased
SEPTA would be liable for ANY damages to their trains
The lack of cab cars is because MARC does not use them! (The reason they don't is because only one MARC heavy-rail line is electrified - the Penn Line - and that uses mostly locos leased from AMTRAK; the Camden and Brunswick Lines are sans caternaries - and thus cannot use cab cars, either; like the Penn Line, the locos used on the Camden and Brunswick Lines are mostly leased - again, from AMTRAK.) NJT has more electrified lines than MARC; however, even they do not have as many as SEPTA.)
All of SEPTA's 13 lines are electrified, three are owned by Amtrak (Wilmington & Trenton on the NEC and Paoli Thorndale on the keystone).
Interessanter Zugverkehr und Züge, Danke
Is it me or are the fire alarms going off?
I saw a NJT comet consist pass my train on the trenton line. It was on the Amtrak tracks (the inner two). Was this operated by SEPTA, or were they moving trains around?
Might have been the Atlantic city line
Yeah either an Atlantic City train or a train going into Morrisville PA that’s no longer in service.
Depends on where you saw it.
1:32 Hard to believe that is a Septa train. My Canadian brain would tell me that was a Keystone service.
The silverliner vs were pulled for safety reasons.
7:58 does that look like the toaster from Amtrak?!?!?! He lives on!
But seriously, doesn't that look like the AEM-7 (toaster a tiny bit?)
its an ALP-44 very similar to the aEM-7
They all have the soothing cracking noises though🤣
Where is this????
30th Street Station, Philadelphia.
by the way i forgot nice video of the action
Lmao at AmMARCTA
hey i am going to film at 30th street on August 10th for the evening rush hour from 3pm to 8pm want to railfan with me and tonys amtrak train videos?
I saw his comment. Responded to him already. I'll let you know when the time gets closer.
+Fan Railer ok I did not even know that he asked you since he has not told me
+Fan Railer Oh yeah, one more, feel free to message me on hangouts or RUclips messages, and same thing with Trainfan5202.
Just in case, if you want to meet me and my friend at 30th station.
whys this train borrowed
lol where've you been? philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2016/07/19/septa-to-replace-not-repair-equalizer-beams-on-silverliner-v-rail-cars/
i live near boston
1/3 of the systems commuter rail cars were taken out of service when they found cracks in the wheel bearings. it basically sidelined 175 cars (or nearly 18,000 seats).
@@FanRailer I think SEPTA's reason for the pill was very public. Maybe they weren't so forthcoming with the repair decision but I certainly give SEPTA a thumbs up after they pulled.them
The train Was also recorded by my dad
I want ACS 64 P42 P32 AEM 8 HHP 8 ALP 44 ALP 45DP ALP 46 oh and metro north railroad and Long island railroad and those coeches and the train and coeches and trains and cochess in the tots
