Isn't the X2000 electric?

[howardkevinm]

@Alcofoamer correct. which is why the turbos are pushing it.

[penguinmaster7]

[Hands007]

[Lifty4ever]

I meant shave and a haircut.

[SgtDrDeath]

@Hands007 Dont you have electified trains in the US now?

[Northeastern292]

@SgtDrDeath We have had them for years, but not anything that can come close to matching the Europeans or Asian nations.

[reaperexpress]

@SgtDrDeath Amtrak uses about 900km of electrified track in the northeastern US. On top of that, there is over 1000km of electrified track used by regional rail operators such as the LIRR, Metro North, SEPTA, and NJ Transit.

Wow, those brakes!!!!

[TheTallMan35]

Sounded like a herd of abused cats. Yikes...my ears are bleeding!!!

[RCdash9]

I like that train. It was my favorite 2 years ago.

[Buddahboo]

NICE CLIP The turbos were added to the end for power, X2000 is an electric overhead powered train. so I couldn't run outside of the NEC (northeast corridor) without some other sort of diesel locomotive to push/pull it. what a sweet train though, amtrak should have bought these and modified them instead of building the Acela.

[furryfurball1221]

thats strange do you think they put them on the train for power or seat room?

[furryfurball1221]

was that the turboliner hooked up to it?

[sasilv1129]

Yes. 2 turbos on the rear of the train.

The brake screech would make a great addition to a horror film! Great video!
