My left ear now knows more about trains than my right...
those seats on the airport line look awesome, I love the design
7:26 that looks cool
The newest photo I've of 9001 was taken in 2012. There's a chance it's still out there, because I haven't seen any photos of it being scrapped.
I can visually confirm it should be because I saw a Silverliner II or multiple sitting in Wayne electric.
Back in 2013, if you took a train from Wayne Junction into the city, there was a siding where at least 9 silverliners sat along with comet is. I believe the comets are still there, but the silverliners disappeared in early 2016 from what I remember.
Well when i went past Wayne Junction on Rail rodeo there were Silverliner IIs there again. There's a photo of 901 sitting next to them too! So no matter what there's still a few Silverliner IIs still out there.
I forgot there is some other random equipment there sometimes sometimes and it obscures the view. Might explain why I didn't see it.
😊 I have ridden every single silver liner it's amazing.
I love your docs! its short enough unlike some 1 hour docs
I miss seeing the Silverliner 2s and 3s on the Norristown and Chestnut Hill West Lines😪😪😪.
I'm pretty sure the Cat Train uses an old S2/3 for the workmens' quarters! You can usually see it on the West Trenton line and lumbering about at Wayne J and Roberts Yard
2:29 "Thankfully without a diaper rash". You are funny!
Good job on that video Tom, like I said you can borrow my videos of the IV's. Only you except nobody else can't download my videos, you're really are very nice fella.. Talk to you later!
Thanks
THOSE ARE LIKE MY FAVORITE SILVERLINERS!!!!!!
2:17 IT'S OVER 9000-- I'll leave...
Lol
Ninja?
Lol get it- I’ll leave too…
My favorite anime meme
like that you used the holland theme!
The part at 11:04 kind of made me laugh. (Not because of the events, by because of the way you said it.)
But a lot of them were STILL sidelined for *SERIOUS Mechanical Issues!*
Owoshi I laughed because of the *OOF*.
"A brick can't do 150 mph"
"Okay, put a 5 degree angle in either end"
*INSTANTLY OVERACHIEVES TARGET TOP SPEED*
It would be Nice to see a Silverliner II with that Labco AA-2 Horn Operating on the R-5 Line to Doylestown again!
I hope we get Silverliner 2 9001 in a museum
Yes there is a silverliner at the railroad museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg.
Also an MP54. Good place to visit!!
Really? An employee there told me they never had one except the Pioneer IIIs that got scrapped
good vid t-bolt
I miss these trains because they use to ride pass my grandmother house near wister station on the chestnut hill East line.
Nothing hums better than genesis locos.
As far as I am aware, there is one blueliner (not currently blue) inside the railroad museum of pennsylvania.
9001 is apparently SUPPOSED to go to Strasburg, but is still at Wayne Junction last I heard.
9001 is still at Strasburg
I found Silverliner II 9001 behind Silverliner III 230 waiting for reservation and is still out there
If your ever in the Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas ride the Trinity Railway Express and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit light rail trains
Thunderbolt 1000 siren productions the west chester railroads passenger cars are all X-blue liners. They've had the control pannels, pantographs, and traction motors removed. Its kind of stupider they dont have any control pannels anymore, because they could have used them as cab cars, because the trip to the stations require the GP38 to push the train.
9:10 Actually, the market co-existed with the station; it opened in 1893.
I was born six years later after you
Nice video. But the idea to build Market East, now Jefferson station, was conceived in 1979.
I miss the silverliner 2 and 3's (also I live near the mentioned morrisville yard)
I hear Denver RTD uses the Silverliner V's for their University of Colorado A Line.
Correct. They are different with weaker 25kv traction motors, full width cabs (like the IVs), and *groan* E-Bells
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions Agreed, E Bells disgust me, the only vehicle that looks good with e bells are those Hyundai Rotem Cab cars Metrolink uses and they are also as ugly as e bells, so you can see why I said that.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions I would like to at least see mechanical bells on these SEPTA trains, why don't they have those, isn't that a FRA safety violation to not have one.
It's not an FRA violation. Other commuters with EMUs do not have bells on their trains usually. The only SEPTA trains with bells (not counting the maintenance diesels) are the push pull sets where the AEM-7s and Comet cab cars both have mechanical steel bells. the ACS-64s SEPTA is getting all have E-bells like the Amtrak ones. Don't ask me why.
Yes sir! The trains actually pick up speed very quickly, when I get the chance I'll post some videos of the exterior/interior of them. Very roomy/comfortable, just the only problem is even in the rear unit you can hear the horns
The wikipedia article looks like only 1 silverliner III is preserved.
The electric commuter trains of the Pennsylvania R.R and the Long Island Railroad built in the 1920s shared the same carbodies.
11:19 i just tried to find that video on the silver liner fire and for some reason its gone. I did find it but its private for some reason ?
where did you get the music because I like it
The 2 and 3 had pcbs removed like the 4 did. Is that crazy?
Hey didn't Reading Market was train station back in SETPA in earlier years.Hahaha, always something.😃
Yes it was. First built in 1889 by the Philadelphia and Reading (Forerunner to the Reading) then used by Conrail and then SEPTA in 1983 before being abandoned 1 year later because of Market East being opened (Jefferson) as a better connection.
Thank you for experience of of SEPA traveling coolest things ever didn't know if i called remembered going reading marketplace i was there with schools trip back in education secondary educated public transportation system Wattey junction , at Jnction station and SEPTAs mode bus stop going and stand mode Of SEPTA train .
It is at stausburg
Unfortunately the last Silverliner III, 238, was headed for scrap this year.
Do you have a separate chain of videos called Engines of New Jersey Transit?
I do not as I don't often follow up on NJT nor do I know much about them.
the,s one septa silverlliner 3 in service wow
wait a minute 5:32 that horn sounds like indonesian train horn (yeh indonesian trains are from america) i watch those on youtube
I can tell your reading this from Wikipedia. Otherwise, Great video!
Was it that noticeable? Damn. Whatever I tried to twist it the best I can. I've never seen these in person so I can't give an honest non Wiki description on them but whatevs.
Don't get me wrong when I say I love these EMUs and this series, but I just read the article about the Silverliner right before this. Lol.
5:25 that reminds me of the indonesian locomotive horn cc203
So you will cover the emd switchers
Yep I will cover them in the future
Video on the current subway cars?
He should remake this
can you do engins of septa m3
I think there is 1 at jenkentown.
How about one for NJT Arrow IIIs
Engines of SEPTA only focuses on the equipment used by SEPTA. SEPTA never owned Arrow IIIs but they do have 2 Arrow IIs used on the Wire train and maybe an Arrow I if it hasn't been scrapped.
I didn't see any silver liners at strasburg
the horn sounds like the GE U18 and U20C on Indonesia
Because they have the same horn.
This was recorded on 11th birthday!
And to my fan Thunderbolt 1000 siren production. I declare. A boot The the head.
11:08
It’s Philly vs Boston! (MBTA vs SPETA) no offense, but I’m in the Boston area so yeah MBTA...
Philly guy here so I'm for SEPTA. But that doesn't mean I don't respect people's opinions. this is America where everyone is entitled to their own opinion right?
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions yeah I wasn’t trying to insult your opinion or anyone else’s, I was joking but ur right
I'm for MBTA too! Sorry lol.
To be honest both look just as good to me.
From asia (indonesia) i'm for MARC And Amtrak
Hum
Why did these cars not have PA systems or dynamic brakes?
Because such features weren't available back then. Not even AC
There still is a silverliner 3 and Septa is trying to sell it
The silverliner at strasburg is there and is often open. No controls are in tho.
Is it? Do you know where exactly at the museum like inside or outside?
@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren Add me on discord, if you have it. I go there often. I don't quite remember if it is inside or out. The open part i got confused with the Pioneer that is inside the museum. But I recall seeing a silverliner there before. My discord is Tehzerr#9519
9:54 ayy look its 257 teh one taht cA7ufght a fire
Well the day after my 11th birthday
Where are they being preserved?
II 9001 is currently hidden in one of their yards. Think it's Frazer but is going to be donated to the Reading railroad museum in Hamburg. The last surviving III got sold to an unknown scrapper unfortunately. Supposedly there's more according to an anonymous source but no way to confirm it
The silver liner 1 was faster than the Acela daang by 6 mph
Not really The Acela's top design speed is 204mph but thanks to Amtrak and the FRA they don't let it go 150mph except in Rhode Island. Everywhere else it goes 125mph or slower.
Oh wow... :-(
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions Will the FRA increase speed limits if most grades were straightened, following a corridor extension?
No the main problem is slower commuters, regionals, and freight get in the way of the Acela. Plus some areas of the NEC are still wooden ties but the majority are concrete.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions I hope New NEC improvement projects will allow the Acela to go to 200, soon.
Now who should replace Anderson as Amtrak CEO?
What is that song at the beginning called
czcams.com/video/9u6BmaeJbPo/video.html
And of course PATH Kawasaki PA-5 with WABCO AA2
So you are 18/19 years old?
Market East sucks compared to Reading Terminal. As for the food market Reading Terminal Market that existed long before Market East was built. My Great Grandparents ate there over 100 yrs ago. As for older equipment on Septa when they decide to replace stuff they let it get run down and these "incidents" are basicly almost on purpose to get State funding via neglect and little to no maintenance. Nice little game Septa plays to get new equipment on taxpayer dollar. Last I heard there is 1 PRR Silverliner in existence that was saved. For some reason they decided to scrap all the others and give none to museums save RRMofPa. Septa does have a few old trolley cars and subway cars stored mostly unserviceable less the PCC cars that run on Girard Ave. I'm just glad I rode to Reading Terminal, rode the old subway cars, all the different P&W cars, the Pennsy MP54s, the Reading Blue liners, and Silverliners as a youth before they were all gone. The stuff today doesn't even feel like a train and with that gone I have no desire to ride them. I'd say the only remaining good thing about Septic is they still have trainmen and they are one of the last remaining commuter systems with them in the country not counting Amtrash. It adds a bit of safety and help if you needed assistance while riding. But I'm sure one day as a cost cutting measure their trains will go computer controlled, kiosk only ticket sales or phone app, and train crewless. Seems to be the way of the world today to create higher unemployment.
0:45 or you could say you were inspired by AmtrakGuy365 because he’s the one who started this whole “engines of” thing. Idk just sayin
I only said that because someone was going to do an Engines of MBTA similar to mine but not credit me which aroused suspicions. He gave credit to Amtrakguy in the end so that's good enough. This same guy also has been bugging another friend of mine (SEPTA Railfan 1000) asking him "Hey do you have the number of that engines of septa guy?" I'm withholding the kid's username so I don't get attacked
1:11 nice music what is that
Für Elise (techno/dance Remix)
there’s one septa silverliner
You were born in 2000?!
I was born in 2005
i sod 9001
It's pronounced Morrison Nuh-ded-son.
11:20 nah no one died
They're not engines. They're motors.
Technically locomotives are called Engines. Just because they are electric doesn't mean they're nothing but coaches with motors.
No. An engine is something that supplies its own power to a motor. A motor is something that gets its power from an outside source like catenary or third rail.
Still. Besides AmtrakGuy365 has a series called Engines of Amtrak and they also contain electric locomotives and he doesn't call them "motors" like you do. You know jack about locomotives dude. Good day sir.
Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions Look it up jackass. My grandfather ran GG1's for the Pennsylvania and Penn Central. They were called motors then and they're called motors now.
@@brocklanders6172 SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH FUCKING JACKASS i believe more on Thunderbolt 1000 siren productions YOU ARE JUST SAYING SHIT
Drop the annoying background noise
11:05 OOF do you play roblox lol

Your stuff is good man but that visual rant at the beginning seemed childish and unprofessional.
