That’s cool RIP AEM-7 but I actually love their new 8600 horsepower ACS-64

I didn’t even know AEM-7s were still around in the Northeast corridor. Still though, nice to see them on one more run. Also, that looks quite light for 6 AM.

Technically they haven’t been used since 2020. It was 6:30 when the first train came through and 7:30 when the AEM-7s passed, 6:00 was just when I got there but that would be too long winded to clarify in the video lol.

And so the epilogue chapter of the SEPTA ACS-64 Replacement comes to a close. Great footage and nice tribute to these Philadelphian legends. Although I do wonder why the move was lead by two switchers instead of an ACS-64, and if some of the number boards were preserved since some of them were removed?

Thanks! I’m not sure why the move was done by the switchers but I ain’t complaining since they were awesome to see! I presume an employee took the number boards that were gone, hopefully they’re in good hands.

The republic loco’s were not available, one was on the wire train, the other was in the shop. Also, the last part of the move may have not been under the wire.

None of the septa AEM-7s or The ALP44 was preserved sadly, this was the entire roster. However some Amtrak AEM-7s are in museums or in private ownership, and the NJT ALP44s are stored, but most of them are rotting on the Lackawanna cutoff.
