I think it also went around the US with diesel power as well

P&W have done push-pull as long as I can remember. Last I knew they were still doing it that way.

@@Saint2558 Do you mean here having a P&W local freight, with locomotives 🚂 on both end (two engineers and one conductor)? I one day such an operation, with a "local," going south from Worcester, serving all of the customers on the line, regardless of the direction the customer's switch points on their spur sidings. (The rear engine shoved the entire cut of freight cars in, coupled on to a lone boxcar, picking it up, and then, re-coupled the train onto the front engine, then headed south.) I also saw this same train returning to Worcester, even noted that boxcar they picked up at the customer's siding earlier, the one that the (formerly) rear locomotive picked up.

The New Haven was absorbed by Penn Central in 1969

They still do it.

I believe it was because the café cars they used back then had tables at one end of the car, and business class seats at the other end. That configuration still exists on some Amfleet I café cars, whereas ones that are specifically for Northeast Regional service today have tables at both ends of the car.

@@dexecuter18 Seems in recent years they have gotten more into the habit of having the café car either as close to, or smack in the middle of, the Northeast Regional trains.

That's the Engines they USED to pull the X2000 IN DIESEL TERRITORIES WHEN THE X2000 WENT CROSS COUNTRY TO L.A ON TOUR, THE GERMAN ICE WASNT FAR BEHIND....

@@geraldgreen5371 They never used Turboliners with the X-2000 or ICE

@@AVeryRandomPerson So why are they hooking one up to the X2000 at 6:24???

@@perha45 that's definitely a Turboliner. No mistaking it. You can even hear someone say "Yeah it's a Rohr. This was built in California" at 6:12 or so. The livery is very strange though. Looks almost as if they painted it to match the ICE set when it visited a few months later...the F69PHAC's that ended up being the ICE's escort in non-electrified territory were originally painted to match the ICE, too, but eventually were repainted to phase 3.

Linda the great adamson 2009 that is a turboliner train

@@Stoyon just like the Acela?

No. The turboliner wasn’t electric like the Acela, and they are all now retired.

Oh ok

I imagine that was one of those many silly US railroad safety requirements that probably contributed to the Acela design winning out over the X2000.

Also in Plainfield CT

Yes! I do vaguely remember that, the Providence and Worcester Railroad opted to purchase five MLW M420R's from Montreal Locomotive Works, supposedly citing (so I was told by a late friend, anyway) that our two US locomotives manufacturers seemed to show no interest in helping out the P&W back then. One will note the location of the front headlight of an M420R, being located off centered on the wide nosed comfort cab.

@@williamh.jarvis6795 The story about EMD and GE not wanting to deal with P&W sounds familiar. Supposedly the MLW order was the only Alco designed locomotives sold to a US railroad after the Schenectady plant closed. I also believe that the P&W M420 fleet was somewhat different than other M420s because of using more reconditioned parts off of traded in RS3s.

Amtrak had it on loan from Sweden for a few months to try it out. Amtrak then designed its own, the Acela.!

Dennis V Sinclair the acela is a Walmart X2000.

No it's still running in Sweden, CHINA USE THEM AS THEIR EARLY HI --SPEED TRAINS

@@OregonRailfan83 The Acela is really a combination of the TGV and LRC designs rather than an Amtrak original design.

@@MKTTransportVideos Basically

Thank you! You are correct, it is Stamford an hour in.

Don't despair, there are still engine changes for the Vermonter and some Northeast Regional because of their Springfield destination on the Hartford-Springfield Line.

Wow, was not thinking Stamford. Station redo makes the remaining side platforms look so strange.

i do

Goggles Tigerkhan in my opinion in looks for America's hi speed trains are...1.) The Avelia 2.) the x200 3.) The Acela Express. Also the x2000 horns is dinky AF

The Avelia Liberty is not hideous, that X-2000 livery is

....you gotta start somewhere, at least their trying to right the situation....

Goggles Tigerkhan I disagree, the acela ac trains are cool.

That is because they are?

I believe so and you're correct; it was filmed on the NECR line into New London. I do miss the F40 days from my childhood.

Jmream2 Jmream but change the horn lol

As a swede i am dissapointed in Amtrak.

Alex is the Acela based off of the X2000

I wish they electrified more corridors
