Engines of Metro North P32AC-DM

Yes I did already make an episode about the p32ac-dm however it is not what I wanted it to be. So I decided to remake the episode over two years after the original to fill in some missing information and improve the quality.

[@christianstudivant4804]

Honestly I felt that Amtrak should’ve ordered more P32-ACDM because of how the turbo liners where retired by the 2000s

[@drguppy7861]

This is one deluxe remake nyrailfan!!! I am so glad to be able to transport this transit information to the train portion of my brain. Choo choo for now

​@@nyrailfan202So some of the P32ACs would have to operate on express services on the New Haven Line in the New Haven paint scheme numbered 228 to 231. But you got some others doing express services on the Hudson Line between and Grand Central and Poughkeepsie, and some others doing direct limited services on the Harlem Line between Grand Central and Wassaic.

Great remake. Still can't believe that the front has an escape hatch for the crew. I didn't know what it's purpose was before the initial episode.

[@nyrailfan202]

Well back in the day safety wasn’t thought about so why make a tunnel wider for safety

[@ethan2226]

6:39 Amtrak units are actually using over-running third-rail.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

I was just gonna say, I think penn station is over running

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

MTA actually recently made a deal with Siemens for a triple mode charger which is capable of using diesel, 3rd rail, and catenary. Amtrak will be getting a venture trainset with 1 ALC-42E with 3rd rail, diesel, and when a battery trailing car is equipped it will use battery power and will have 5 venture passenger cars.

Yay Ive been waiting :D

[@AcelaRailan2150]

Awesome video! Nice job

[@johnthechoochooaddict796]

As of now,
- 208 wears the Beachball scheme
- 201 wears the Conrail scheme
- 211 wears the New York Central scheme
- 217 wears the Penn Central scheme

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

I expect the P32ACDM fleets will be around for quite a while, just like the FL9s were the longest Classic F series holdouts. This is especially likely now that the coronavirus pandemic has strained transit agency and Amtrak budgets. (Of course, if Amtrak goes under, their fleet might be out of service for a while until Metro North/ConnDoT can pick it up.)

[@nyrailfan202]

Siemens has said that a charger dual mode would be possible. And it would be low enough for penn station/gct so there would be no reason other than cost not to purchase one. Whereas the Fl9’s were not replaced because there was no alternative to modify into a dual mode

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

@@nyrailfan202 The problem for replacing the P32AC-DMs with dual-mode Chargers isn't with making them, but with Amtrak/Metro North/ConnDoT being able to pay for them.

9:45 WHY? Are the P32AC-DMs unreliable now?

[@g-manonthego6678]

Simple: just like Amtrak's P40 and P42 fleet, they're old and tired. Even though they were rebuilt, I'm pretty sure that the Dual Mode Genesis locomotives are still showing their age somewhere.
