Great video! Yeah, ACE has been undergoing changes since around 2020 I think. It’s cool seeing the mix of new SC-44 locomotives, while also good still seeing the older equipment of F40PH-3Cs and cabcars. More recently, ACE came out with new ACE CEM Cabcar 3310, which has a K5CA, not really a favorite to me. But still, in general, no equipment lasts “forever”, so I think it’s understandable ACE, like other services, upgrades their equipment.

I wonder if the ACE will ever consider electrification considering its proximity to the newly-built CalTrain corridor, alongside the soon to be finished HST project. Considering the San Joaquin's suffer from some of the worst air quality in the country, it would be a decent dent in emissions knocked off by the service, alongside additional benefits in timeliness and reliability. Of course, the big elephant in the room there is still the carcentric designs of many valley cities, with the freight traffic being all diesel, but hopefully those can be ameliorated in conjunction. I like the new livery, very "Old school Silicon Valley" like an old Macintosh or Cisco box.

@CoasterFan2105

Жыл бұрын

There have been a lot of different plans in recent years for improving ACE service. The big project now is extending trains to Merced and Sacramento. They've also considered using alternative alignments through various sections to separate ACE trains from Union Pacific freight traffic. As long as trains run mostly on freight lines, I would not expect serious talks of overhead electrification. One thing that is being discussed is the possibility of converting at least some of the F40 fleet into battery units. It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next decade or two.

@@CoasterFan2105 Ah, that's true. Its definitely an uphill battle considering they use some of UPs busiest lines from coastline to the Corridor. I'm hoping at least the CalHSR projects can give them some opportunities for realignment, or at least push the railroad to put some money into the infrastructure. It's strange to see a commuter line have to use so many sidings and single-tracks.
