I wish railroads would focus more on proper electrification than on battery powered locomotives
Yeah, battery electric trains are pretty dumb
I think diesels overall are better but yes you are correct there are many problems with a battery powered locomotive over electrification of a line
Yeah, battery powered locomotives are dumb, am I gonna need to charge my locomotives? If the power goes out do all the locomotives turn off? Will it get a computer virus?
@@BushForLife1946 No, I doubt they would get a computer virus.
@Eragor the Kindhearted you’re correct about this but we have to remember battery powered locomotives are still a very new thing they are going to probably be problems that will have to be overcome
Great episode as always!
I am so *FURIOUS* that I forgot to cover the M3s returning to service in my Periodical, and I'm a Long Islander too! I wasn't sure if the battery powered SD40 was new for August so I decided to skip it, along with the Metra MAC since I couldn't find an official article on it.
I saw a Charger on the California Zephyr while I was visiting Denver from college. As much as it's exciting to see a new locomotive on my local Amtrak line, it still feels sad that the Genesis are going to be retired and mostly scrapped. I do hope that if there's a last run of the Genesis locomotives, that I could be there to witness that last run.
At least the Chargers are objectively decent looking locomotives. Better looking than the Genesis tbh, if you put away the nostalgia rose tinted glasses.
I think the Genesis locomotives don’t look as good as the chargers, but they’re so damn iconic.
@@jayzowandzel9077 i totally agree. But still... for the last 50 years (since the F and E units got retired), it's been a cycle of one ugly engine replacing another. And we complain and hate the new engine, but then 20 years later we cry when it gets replaced by an even uglier engine.
At least this time I'm not hearing a ton of complaints about the Chargers, prolly cuz the bar has been set so low
@@SlackActionBumble Seems most of the complaints about the Chargers looks are reserved for the SC -44. The ALC-42 probably also benefits from the fact that we've seen it's face already on the ACS-64.
@@saibattu7745 yeah, it's weird. I would imagine rail fans would be excited to see new trains, but no I guess they are a conservative lot.
I've been a railfan for like 30 years now, and the only new train that I can recall everybody universally liking aesthetically was the old Acela when it came out in like 2000.
May we all press F to pay respects to the F40PHL-2 locomotives that will be scrapped
We have to save one! 😥
No.
Is it like a mbta f40-2c
@@advancedapproachproduction2394 do you even have feelings
@@advancedapproachproduction2394 for these
ProgressRail has a Joule SD70J engine on order. I'm sure Norfolk Southern will order these SD70J engines #2591-#2648 just like the SD70Ms which were scrapped except #2631 & #2642 sold off to the Ontario Northland railway in Ottawa Ontario Canada. NS SD70ACCs #1800 & #1801 were gone to the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo Colorado.
Spectacular video! I always love watching these videos of T MOTOR. You do such great work!
No more leasers: KNWA has stopped leasing GECX GE Dash 8-40CW #7808. With that, KNWA has no longer any locomotives on short-term lease. The LTEX Ex-CSX engines are helper engines. And finally, GECX GE Dash 8-40CW #7308 which has been on lease, was put into DPU service on Kanawha River Railroad.

I'm not surprised that metra chose progress rail to rebuild their f40ph to battery power
I love this series you have! It gives me news about trains I never knew! Can't wait to see more keep it up!
I like those M3 MUs.
i always look forward to these videos every month! keep up the good work!!
ProgressRail Joule SD70J? In 2018 NS SD70ACCs #1800 & #1801 were taken to the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo Colorado for high-speed testing.
I don’t know if you have been following the whole MBTA stuff, but everyone’s commute has been hell for the past few months. Not a single line hasn’t killed someone or caught on fire.
Tri Rail 801 and 804 were sold to other the durango and silverton narrow guage railroad rebuilt into road switchers.
I feel like Tri-Rail should’ve preserved one just like how COASTER did with their F40PH-2c’s.
Why isn’t metra electrifying?
The taxpayers are refusing to pay for it. But yes, METRA needs electrification. It's ridiculous that they haven't done that yet.
@@TohaBgood2 should Chicago become a semi-dictatorship
Really the only line Metra could electrify is in the south, all the rest are owned or operated by freight railroads. In any case Metra doesn’t have enough money to buy new equipment instead of rebuilding their worn-out stuff, there’s no way they have money for any electrification
@@andrewreynolds4949 what about the Union pacific north line, freight interruption only happens after Lake Forest
@@maas1208 The line is owned by Union Pacific (hence the name). Until UP is willing to sell the line (and that's very unlikely) they're not electrifying it
Trains (website) stated that 611 will run limited services at Strasbourg
Let’s pay respect to the f40ph, it’s a good engine
I Agree
CSX 9280 should be in Selkirk replacing the ACSES with more modern PTC, as well as getting A/C (I think) so it will be able to lead after (unit also has cab signals so it can lead anywhere I think). The DC Metro was shut down for the month of September, having VRE (Virginia Railway Express) offer free rides throughout the month on both lines, as well as a few trains next month being free.
What's been going on here in Boston has been embarrassing and has left many of us bewildered. Will the MBTA, A true boondoggle of an agency every get better? As a daily commuter, we know the riders are feeling it, but so are many of the poor workers too.
9280 is currently trailing on M410-03
Great video, very informative!!!
You forgot some news for June because in early June both the CT Rail and Amtrak Hartford line services were suspended until September 9th due to infrastructure updates and track safety improvements along the line even though those two Services were suspended Amtrak's Valley flyer Northeast Regional and vermonter were still allowed to run the line. Although this allowed CT rail to test P40DC number 6708 which occurred in August as well
The SD40J looks like a cursed image
Nice video once again!
Great episode
i love those joule locomotives
Experienced a portal bridge failure for the first time the other week. waiting in Penn station for 2 hours only to hear no trains are running isn't fun.
Anyone else notice the NJT train in the Portal Bridge render doesn't have a locomotive? It's just bi-level passenger cars 😆
Multilevel III renderings most likely
The fact that Progress Rail labeled one of those battery powered locomotives as an SD40J really caught me off guard....are they trying to bring back the SD40 series in a way, or are these going to be rebuilds?
Must be a rebuilt SD40. There are plenty of SD40's still around.
Yeah, I believe they're rebuilds. Their full classification is "SD40JR," so I'd guess that's what the R stands for
@@WorldwideRailfan Ah, that makes sense.
Also BP4 #999 was sold to Kanawha River Railroad.
Except the LTEX engines.
if the SD40J is successful i wonder if standard cabs will be on mainlines again?
Looking at the design I suspect it’s a conversion, reusing an old frame
@@andrewreynolds4949 yeah that is probably true.
That does mean F40PHs from metra converted to F40J for battery power
nice video Sam
Is the SD70J similar to the SD70ACe-T4?
With the Boston - Pittsfield expainsion, is that being ran by Amtrak or Keolis?
Amtrak
@@WorldwideRailfan Wonder if Keolis will end up running that far west 🤔
NS freight and intermodal trains symbols had changed from G, M, & T trains to I trains.
If CSX converte them standard cabs to wide cabs I'll loose my mind them C40-8 are legends😭
you forgot the change of NS Intermodal Symbols on the 22nd of August
He's always forgetting things, he forgot literally the two Biggest things that happened in July and Missed some important openings last year
Nice!
Bro that's stupid the F40PHL-2 were pretty cool looking F40's
nice!
Yet you still missed the Big Boy tour for the beginning later part of July
I suspect the reason as to why NJT did colors wrong was to represent Ukraine. If you look closely, you can see the Ukraine flag in the wrap. I find this quite
stupid as personally I feel that they should be two separate units. So yeah, CTA did it better
It made my eyes feel funny just looking at it
The Boston system has been looking a lot like a poorly scripted Thomas the Tank Engine recently-talk about confusion and delay!
Why Did Philly go for CRRC I have no clue
Could've gone with Alstom
I wonder where the LRCs will go
SD70MACH2 = SD70ACE going mach 2
Can you please explain to me why I love f40 pH is so much 😂
I'm sure Kanawha River Railroad might order some ProgressRail Joule SD70J locomotives #2581-#2648, #6717-#6762, & #6763-6806.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad. Cliche go brrrr!
The MBTA freaking sucks...and I work for them. :/
F
They shouldn't need any ride with pride liveries, horrible looking
I liked it
It’s a gay train
Leasers: LTEX SD60Is #8725, #8739, #8745, #8751, SD60Ms #8764 & #8765 are awaiting their first time in service. That brings the total of leased engines up to 181. See the full leased locomotive roster here: http.knwadash8.com/leased.html.
Is the SD70J similar to the SD70ACe-T4?
Probably a rebuilt SD70 model
