I love Amtrak Cascades. I really loved the Pre Pandemic train route that would go to Portland to B.C. Canada or vice versa. It was the most convenient route. These trains are awesome.
The State of Washington has bought 8 of the Siemens Charger locomotives for the Cascades trains, they should be in service pretty soon, they had the introduction back in May. The first two were going on the Eugene Seattle run.
I have to agree with you man. It is not an obligation that every train be a high speed train. Here in Brazil I would love if we had passenger trains like these amtrak's. Not even trains like these we have. Only Vale's trains. But Just too few for a so big country.
Omg my comment got favorited by my favorite railfan my life is fucking complete now I can have a child I've done everything in life I needed to! -except catch Amtrak 90250
+CoasterFan2105 Nice Video!!! I love the K5LA horns on the F59PHIs, NPCUs, and the P42DCs on Cascades yes and I hope you haven't forgotten the Train Talk episode I suggested on the F59 which you said would be coming this fall and I'm just making sure and I found out that many of the Amtrak F59s are staying longer and Metrolink has actually begun retiring older locomotives so yeah and I also really like the Seahawks NPCU with that nice K5LA.... (:
1:13 is there only one of the new Talgo sets in Cascades livery? 2:02 90250 has a nice paint scheme! 3:07 why is a locomotive in front of the Talgo cab car? did the cab car break? 9:04 the barrier photobombed the train!
If Amtrak made services 518/519 Cascades they should be put between Eugene and Vancouver, this doesnt overlap the next present day route, the 521 which is Capitol Corridor
Great video! Next time you come up to the Northwest, I highly recommend going to Kalama, Washington. In Kalama, there is a park with a long straight track and BNSF recently added a new track making it a triple main line! Just look up Ahle Point on Google Maps.
You got the now famous F59 #467 before the accident and derailment. And based on the consist you caught being the same one, this must have been days before it happened.
Nice video! Btw, can you do a train talk video about the eastern long distance amtraks and the P42DC's and other Genesis models? Also, when will Amtrak 465's overhaul be complete and ready to go back in service?
This is one of te most beautiful train videos ever. I wanna do it. Perfect beautiful scenery actually enhanced by man's endeavours. Fantastic MAGA! Who wants to go quickly through all of this?
Interessanter Zug und schöne Strecken. Solche Züge, Talgo Züge gab es auch in Deutschland 3 Jahre im Nachtzugverkehr, die Deutsche Bahn jedoch hat Sie kaputt bekommen.
Hey Mike you have the best spots to catch these trains I love the F159PHI engines my favorite clip was the first one with the mountain in the back Love your channel keep up the good work
468 looks funny with those white number boards, it looks like it's shocked if you can see it right. Also, do you think when the Siemens Chargers replace the F59PHIs, they'll be converted into cabbages too and replace the cabbage F40s?
Most Of those hedeous F59phis have been sold to Chicago metra commuter service. So you'll your not gonna see them retired from actual service for a long time.
Blessings to the ones on amtrak cascades train 501 Northbound derailed over bridge at 81 miles an hour 6 killed more are expected to be dead the cuase is that the train was going to fast on a curb some cars were chrushed several people are ingured i am on pacific surfliner a heard the news it is astonishing Mike😢
Incredibly there is a McDonald's Ad halfway through this video . Bastards. Although maybe McDonald's is better than what we got on the Coast Starlight!
Canada Railfan It was repainted at Beech Grove a few years back. Not sure why it got such an odd scheme, but it could have been rushed since some of the striping looks bad too.
Great vid as always Mike, but i don't understand what these Amtrak cascade trains are and they look so different and low, the wheels even look small , what is goin on? Lol, can you please give me some knowledge on these?
Thank you for the comment, Richie. These trains are called "Talgos". They are made by a Spanish company (also called Talgo). The cars are semi-permanently connected with 1 wheel set in between cars and special "tilt" technology that allows them to travel faster around curves than traditional rail cars. The cascades service has 5 older sets built in the late 1990s and 2 newer sets built in 2013. The older sets have "fins" that only serve the cosmetic purpose of transitioning from the height of the locomotives to the level of the Talgo cars, giving the train a sleek, continuous appearance.
Wow man, what a beautiful video. I rode this train in June 2017, from Vancouver, BC, to Portland, OR. Nice memories.
I love Amtrak Cascades. I really loved the Pre Pandemic train route that would go to Portland to B.C. Canada or vice versa. It was the most convenient route. These trains are awesome.
I always have loved the Amtrak Cascades, and I hope to ride the service sometime in the future.
The State of Washington has bought 8 of the Siemens Charger locomotives for the Cascades trains, they should be in service pretty soon, they had the introduction back in May. The first two were going on the Eugene Seattle run.
I love the cascades trains! I've never been on one but they look so cool! Love ur videos!
Thank you very much!
Wow those are cool looking units and coaches
They are made by Talgo: ruclips.net/video/2jx6il060fY/видео.html
The horns on the F59PHI’s always sounded so amazing. I’ll miss those locomotives so much
5:39 I'm positive we can all agree that this is the K5LA the Surfliner F59s should have.
Yes!
Average_ Joe You're right, no doubt.
Yes!
The Surfliner had F59PHI #465 before it went to the Cascades
Average_ Joe agree
What they should do is paint some of the P42s in the cascade paint scheme. That would be cool!!!
I am a Lead Steward for Amtrak and you captured my run! Thank you
Nice view of mount rainier in the first video. And I kinda miss the Pacific NorthWest its so green and lush
Thanks! It is a beautiful place.
Amtrak Cascades is amazing!
An excellent compendium featuring shots in various locations. High marks for your professionalism.
Thank you so much for the kind words. They are appreciated.
Miss riding the Cascades
I used to take this train from Bellingham to Longview. What a great ride.
I like both: TriMet MAX & Amtrak Cascades.
I love these Fins on the First Car.
👿
Those F59PHI engines have been a great success, including those NPCUs. By the way, my favorite NPCU is 90253, and my favorite F59PHI is 470.
Nice. Thanks a lot !
1:59 What's that location? With the single track?
That's Bellingham, Washington.
i don't care that they don go 400km/h, these trains are absolutely beautiful. we don't see trains of this kind of design/size in europe...
I have to agree with you man. It is not an obligation that every train be a high speed train. Here in Brazil I would love if we had passenger trains like these amtrak's. Not even trains like these we have. Only Vale's trains. But Just too few for a so big country.
I assume this video was made before the SC-44's were built
Awesome Video Mike
I miss riding the Cascades
Excellent video.
Love the video!!
At 6:31 why is that F59PHI unit pulling the side of the talgo train set that has the locomotive attached to it?
Nicholas Johnson that’s a cab car. The other end normally powers it but it must have died.
When you realize you were in the exact spot as CoasterFan just a few days before he was there
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I had that happen with the UTA front runner, he viewed it from a road overpass I go on almost every week.
Omg my comment got favorited by my favorite railfan my life is fucking complete now I can have a child I've done everything in life I needed to! -except catch Amtrak 90250

Nice! Thank you Mike!
Thank you too! Glad you like it!
You're welcome!
When will the chargers be expected in service on the Cascades? Do you know?
I am not sure. They were supposed to start in late June or July but for some reason, that didn't happen.
Oh, okay. I'm glad they haven't started yet, I don't like the chargers.

Fantastic!!!! :) (:

3:07 why is a locomotive in front of the Talgo cab car? did the cab car break?
9:04 the barrier photobombed the train!
1. I think there's two new trainsets. 2. Yes it does! 3. Probably. 4. Haha, it sure did!
They have 2 of the new cascades Talgos. Thanks!
I love Amtrak On Talgo. Anyway Nice video
Thanks, Ethan!
@@CoasterFan2105 qpqq
If Amtrak made services 518/519 Cascades they should be put between Eugene and Vancouver, this doesnt overlap the next present day route, the 521 which is Capitol Corridor
Correct that last bit btw, 520 also exists as a Capitol Corridor
Nice job! You sure found all the best locations.
Thank you very much!
Yard Limit ...llll
There's a new commuter rail line in the north san francisco bay area that you should make a video on.
Excellent video with superb composition and sound capture. I could watch these all day - in fact, I am!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Beautiful shots.
Great video! Next time you come up to the Northwest, I highly recommend going to Kalama, Washington. In Kalama, there is a park with a long straight track and BNSF recently added a new track making it a triple main line! Just look up Ahle Point on Google Maps.
Thank you! One of these shots was actually just south of Kalama. I'll have to check out that park next time too!
3:52 Love that!
fav youtuber
Nice video. I love that new intro!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video!! 👍👍👍
Man, I need to get out of the Bronx and visit Washington state.
183 looks like it's brand new! It was looking kinda grungy for a while.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised!
One of the cars in the consist @ 4:11, has 4 window that are elevated. Is this a lounge/diner car? Great video, thanks for providing!
D MCCARVILLE yes, in Spain it is soo
THE SEAHAWKS ENGINE and awesome video ❤️
We're gonna miss the F59's on these trains
Do the Empire Builder, Amtrak’s Empire Builder is the toughest Amtrak Overnight passenger train.
Did it from Portland to Chicago last December We traveled with a blizzard.....It was very cold.very.
You got the now famous F59 #467 before the accident and derailment. And based on the consist you caught being the same one, this must have been days before it happened.
Amtrak458 I watched your B32-8WH Video! I loved it, please upload more, your content made me have confidence in doing those scenarios on TS 2017.
Yes, I think the shot of the 467 over the bridge was just 2 days before. They took 470 off for a few days and then put it on the train again.
I have been waiting for this video! Thank you! Will you do a train talk on Talgo train sets?
You're very welcome, thanks for the comment! I would like to talk about them on Train Talk eventually!
Thanks for this... I was wondering what were the trains with the funny "scoop" looking thing!
For aerodynamic.
Awesome Train Video Mike!
Thank you!

the only amtrak train i been on as i live in melbourne but went to vancouver in sep 2019. rode from vancouver to seattle
I'll miss the old talgo sets along with the cascades f59phi.
Great Video
Thank you!
4:42 bro she said hello but spanish😦
Just a couple weeks ago I was on the coast starlight and I remember traveling along on those same tracks! Well, some of them
Nice video! Btw, can you do a train talk video about the eastern long distance amtraks and the P42DC's and other Genesis models? Also, when will Amtrak 465's overhaul be complete and ready to go back in service?
Zack and Zane You watch every train youtuber I watch
Thank you! I'd like to do a Train Talk on the eastern long distance trains at some point. I'm not sure about 465.
Zack and Zane They don't usually keep the 59s out for too long, so it'll be back pretty soon. I'd say under a month.
Drizzler 02 We don't like space invaders (P42s) on our trains
I love your channel, sorry about my inactivity.
No worries! Thanks for the comments!
Ok, no problem.
Just subscribed! From a railfan from Australia

I love Amtrak Cascades but in Oregon though that's my favorite Northwestern state along with Southwestern state Arizona.
They're pretty neat!
I was on that from Vancouver to Seattle just last month.
Great video! See you changed the intro and outro! I like them but still kinda miss the old ones!
Thank you! The old outro will be coming back for most of the rest of 2017.
Is 90230 ever used on the Surfline anymore? Or is it now just for cascades?
It was moved back to Cascades in 2017.
Oh, imma miss her
Hey Mike you have the best spots to catch these trains I love the F159PHI engines my favorite clip was the first one with the mountain in the back Love your channel keep up the good work
Train is so amazing
the Amtrak Cascades trainset reminds me of those next gen console controller prototypes from the early 2000s
Do you know why most of the original Talgo 8 cab cars are replaced by 59 and 42s?
Nice intro, I love that horn. Does Amtrak Cascades F59PHI's have the same numbers as the Surfliners? And is F59PHI 458 now with Amtrak Cascades?
TRAINS FOR YOU there are different numbers for the F59's on the cascades then the Surfliner.
TRAINS FOR YOU no Amtrak has their F59PHIs for surfline service numbered 450-464 Amtrak numbered cascades F59PHIs 465-470
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
No, I saw #498 on the Surfliner the other day.
The F59s that are owned by Amtrak are numbered 450-470
Nice video!!
Thanks!
High speed train.
that shot at 6:08.....beautiful
Thanks!
nice train and beautifull track...
Nice and good ive ridden on that train its nice i garenti you 😃
Sometimes the train travels on the left track, sometimes on the right track? Is that normal for the USA?
Somewhat normal.
Nice Train
Nice video....showing great trains and LOUSY tracks...(check out Bulgaria's tracks...150kph).
Cascades is pretty cool look'n.
What about 4:04?
Good video greetings ☺
Thank you :)

Blessings to the ones on amtrak cascades train 501 Northbound derailed over bridge at 81 miles an hour 6 killed more are expected to be dead the cuase is that the train was going to fast on a curb some cars were chrushed several people are ingured i am on pacific surfliner a heard the news it is astonishing Mike😢
I would like to see a video about that
Incredibly there is a McDonald's Ad halfway through this video . Bastards. Although maybe McDonald's is better than what we got on the Coast Starlight!
Please do Amtrak cascades train talk
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Nice talgo trains!
Very great video! Bye.
i used to ride the Cascade a lot between EUG and PDX
Very good !
Do you know why 468 doesn't say Amtrak Cascades on the side and the window paint is black and not brown?
Canada Railfan It was repainted at Beech Grove a few years back. Not sure why it got such an odd scheme, but it could have been rushed since some of the striping looks bad too.
The story goes that last time it got a repaint, they got confused somewhere during the repainting and thought it was a Surfliner locomotive. Oops!
E🎉and dishwasher cleaning are a good idea and is very useful and can provide some information about
Whats the difference between cascades and a high speed train?
Yeah nice one
