Amtrak AEM-7 Electric Locomotive Farewell!

The HHP-8 look like Acela Amtrak train

When the ACS 64 city sprinter locomotive was out I was born when they created them

Amtrak trans fast tracks2

Rest In Peace AEM-7

These are the nicest locos I think Amtrak made with style got a European look to them. remember these flying past Ridley Park, PA station outside Philadelphia heading towards Wilmington, DE back in 1985 - 1992 these babies were fast 125....130 MPH.

😩😭🥺😩😫😢😭AEM-7 945 and 915 you two will be missed

AEM 7 were good engines I still miss them I was born 1985 so I'm pretty sure I saw them I miss their paint Schemin that wonderful horn farewell AEM 7 hello Sprinter

I own those AC traction AEM-7s and I own and scrapped the DC traction AEM-7S.

,,,,
for us rail luvers,,,,thanks for the great history lesson...........
i watched em from sunnyside yard , Queens NY ........loved the power echoed by by the air horns..................an era never to be seen again...........

There's a SEPTA.

Marc was next, replacing their AEM-7s with Siemens Chargers, around 2017. The HHP-8s however, got a second chance with rebuilds in 2018, but the AEM-7s are currently in storage.

I LOVE Trains!!!

I don’t know why but i like the e60 more than the aem-7

Did Amtrak Retire All AEM-7s From Active Service?

The story made me a little sad

Love the toasters👌🏻

Great video! And a wonderful job explaining the roots of the AEM-7 and the connection to ASEA Rc4. Many Rc4s have been rebuilt and modernized here, and are in regular freight traffic in Sweden today for multiple companies, eg. GreenCargo.

The ACS-64 is a outstanding locomotive don't get me wrong but there was something rare about the AEM-7 I don't how to explain it but I guess I'm happy with the current locomotive 💯💥🔥

So Mike, what about Amtrak sleeper coach car?

u know, i liked the aem7 a lot, which is why i was mad when i found out the acs took over from them. since knowing that the keystone corridor will be recieving 10 SC-44's an 15 ALC-42's im glad that i'll never have to be confronted with them ever again. thank you siemens for saving me.

Well everybody knows caltrain bought some amtrak aem-7ac’s they got repainted and they only work the caltrain electrification is done

cool video...big like

Never heard anyone pronounce ASEA letter by letter, no one says it over here in Sweden but it makes sense though since it stands for Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktie Bolag.

It's quite fun to see this actually we still use Rc2 (many Rc2:s got refurbished/converted to Rd2 and Rc3 so not many legit ones left), Rc3, Rc4 and Rc6 in commercial use everyday and most of them look like new there are one or two Rc1:s for museum use and all Rc5:s got converted to Rc6.

Nice talking Mr Mike Armstrong

The AEM-7 locomotives were awesome. It's sad that the AEM-7 locomotives had to go.

Why.

I think Amtrak's toasters did so well on Amtrak's intercity services on the Keystone Service, the Carolinan, the Cardinal, the Crescent, the Fast Mail service, the Palmetto, the Metroliner Service, the Three Rivers, the Acela Regional, the Northeast Direct, the Northeast Regional, and the limited-stop Silver Service.

My favourite locomotive because awesome horn

It has now been 7 years since the final trip, crazy right?

New eletric Bell aem 7

Happy retirement AEM7 they are going to be miss in service I love those locomotive

Salute to the toasters

Superb video! Thank you for documenting this historic event for those of us who couldn't be there. You have a new subscriber. Awesome channel!

its hard to believe it was just 7 years ago that the aem-7 was going up and down the nec

Hey, two of the Amtrak AEM-7s went to Caltrain. You forgot to tell us that.

R.I.P Amtrak AEM-7 (1979-2016)

why aem 7 has no longer in northeast corridor

It doesn't mean they're gonna be gone forever.

8 years after this video was made to say so-long to the AEM-7 and I’m surprised that nobody has commented on the fact that 2 units were sold to CalTrain by Amtrak and have been here in San Francisco sitting about a block away from the main station at 4th and King St for the past few years as the line has been electrified with service of the new Stadler KISS going into service later this year. One of the AEM-7s even got new CalTrain livery. Assuming they’re going to be used as rescue units on the newly electrified line.

It's awesome that these locos lasted SO long. Amtrak got their money's worth without a doubt. The ACS-64 units ushered in a new era for the railroad.
