That locomotive in Seattle you didn’t know what it was, it’s an F40PH It was the type of locomotive that was the main state of Amtrak before the P42s came along. When Amtrak retired most of their F40PH, they saved about a dozen of them and gutted the locomotives. And turns them into what they call Cabbages. so they run a currently working locomotive on the other end of the train, but they still have the controls in that locomotive so they can operate the train from that end. So it’s still an operational locomotive it’s just it doesn’t have its own power anymore. Thanks for an updated review of this. I’ve taken the cascades from Seattle to Vancouver BC and back back in April 2018. So it’s been a little bit, and it’s interesting to see that it’s still operates pretty much the same. Except when I wrote it, they brought me up in Superliner cars, and I was able to return to Seattle on one of the Talgo sets that are now retired

Love the train vids. It always makes me wanna hop on one go.

New trainsets for Amtrak Cascades are coming soon, and they will replace the Talgo’s & Horizon cars.

They used to have eight Talgo trainsets, but they’ve retired six of them. They still have two roaming around as far as I know.
