Welcome to my channel, Amtrak_Guy, formerly known as AmtrakGuy406 from 2017/2019-2021, where the fun never ends. I am a Southern California railfan, and an enthusiast/expert at rail transport, history, physics, geography, electronic instruments, and popular culture. My channel was intended for creating videos for analyzing rail transport. Other than rail transport videos, I will review popular culture genres, most specifically science fiction, tokusatsu, action-adventure, and superhero. I also plan to do synthesizer, drum machine, and sampler lessons in the future on this channel.

This channel was named after and to be dedicated to the Amtrak NPCU (Non-Powered Control Unit) No. 406 (90406), formerly an EMD F40PHR, built in January 1988.

All videos now made with CapCut, formerly made with iMovie.

Hey guys, as my channel is nearing its 7th anniversary on July 11, I am resuming production on my alternate history video "When Shinkansen Came to Mexico" after the project had been paralyzed since April. What I wanted to say is that I will be in Hawaii for almost two weeks very soon and I want to try getting this video done with production as soon as possible, and the hardest part is finding the perfect time-accurate images. The key part of this post will be the question, should this video by my 7th anniversary project?

EVERYONE, I got AMAZING news!!! For Metra EMD F59PHI Nos. 74, 77, 86, 92, and 93 (ex-Amtrak Nos. 451, 454, 463, 469, and 470, respectively), as said units are sidelined, one or two of them is likely to be sent to Sounder. This is honestly quite exciting news as I thought Metra was going to permanently keep the ex-Amtrak EMD F59PHI units in order to either supplement the Metra EMD F40PH-2 units or even replace them, but we were wrong all along.
