Amtrak Locomotive Tier List - 35+ Locomotives

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Amtrak Locomotive Tier List - 35+ Locomotives:
Have you ever wondered what Thelefevrefever thinks about common and rare Amtrak Locomotives and Train sets? Here you can find my thoughts on all of that. With a list of about 40 different trains, I only did a few minutes of research on each locomotive, so I will miss some interesting facts and flaws.
Feel free to share your favorite Locomotive in the comments below.
I know I am missing at least 4 trains:
- Amtrak ICE 1 - B Tier
- X2000 - A Tier border of S
- Flexliner - C Tier
- Turboliner 3 - C Tier
Thoughts on Ideas are Appreciated

    The E-44 was intended for MOW servicw. They were built between 1960 and 1963 by GE for the Pennsylvania Railroad and were the last freight electrics built for the Pennsy. They lasted until 1981 in freight service for Pennsy, Penn Central, and Conrail. NJT purchased two for passenger service and then never used them. They sat stored at the former CNJ Elizabethport Shops until being scrapped. 502, now at the RRMPA is PRR 4465, the last one built and thankfully is a survivor of the electric empire the PRR built and wanted.

    in what world is the SDP40F better than the LRC? the LRC cars still make up the backbone of VIA's fleet to this day, and are leagues better than amfleet, it absolutely worked in canada, regardless of the minor issues with the tilting system. Also the LRC cars were eventually developed into the Acela cars, so the same argument that applied to the turbotrain should apply to the LRC.

    The tier list is of locomotives and in the LRC case I only rated the locomotives(I did not at first know the cars where specialized). Also this is an option filled video and an Amtrak list, I did not account for VIA. LRC is now only D Tier.

    You’re missing some MOW and switching locomotives. In addition, you call the GP7 an SD7, which is not correct. The “44 tonner” is actually an 80 tonner, but that’s an easy mistake to make.
