This is my railroad video channel. All videos are shot by me, and some older ones taken by my father.
Septa Heavy Rail, LRV's and PCC's
Septa (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) runs a diverse collection of transit routes in and around Philadelphia. This video concentrates on the routes out of 69th st terminal in Upper Darby PA and the subway/surface routes on the southwest side of the city. The Norristown high-speed line gained fame as one of the last interurban lines in the country. This grade separated route at one time hosted the famed Electroliners after the North Shore was shut down. The two remaining trolley routes out of 69th st are on a private right of way with stone station buildings. We will visit the Media line which is the more scenic of the two. The Market - Frankford Subway/Elevated terminates at 69th st as well. The majority of this video will show the subway-surface trolley routes during several PCC fan trips. This system is a traditional trolley system with most track in the street. The routes all converge at 40th st and run to Center City Philadelphia via a tunnel under Market St. The Majority of this video was taken during several West Jersey Chapter N.R.H.S. fan trips and all runbys are photo stops and covered some trackage that no longer exists in 2024. There's a thin young kid that can be seen several times near the camera man (My Dad) that is yours truly. As a 15-16-year-old kid in the 1992-1994 time period when this was taken.

Nice train video. How long did it take you to edit this train video?
@ElliottWolcott thank you. This was through UA-cam editor and took only a few mins. I now use Filomena Wondershare for my more recent videos. That program takes longer, but I have way more options, including direct upload to UA-cam.
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu No problem and cool and thank you for the information.
That track just shown @ 13:00 is the diversion tracks that track is still there
@zazaranger5 ahh good to know, I was look at GPS and it looked paved over. Thanks for the info
This man is NORAC qualified. He knew what a restricted signal was😂
This video was awesome! I love seeing old Keystone Corridor videos! Hope to see more from you in the future!
It’s funny seeing these old trains before they got the ditch lights. and the German ICE the prelude to the Acela
So that’s when Amtrak was still going to Atlantic City?
Yes, from May 1989 to April 1995
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu it’s kind of a shame they stopped it
Fantastic video!
1:54 killer p5
Wtf peak dropped, finally evidence of the ACES running past Philadelphia with GEEPS
Could the brakes, the discs, on these Amtrak trains be any louder? One almost never hears noise like this from Europe and Japan. I guess they have more pride in themselves, their equipment and their organization(s) than Amtrak does. I know this is an old video but the newest ones, videos. show different train models but the same lack of caring and tlc!!
Really? Here's one from Europe. Disk brakes are super loud compared to tread ones (albeit savvy on wheel tread on the plus side) ua-cam.com/video/gqwctm4SwaI/v-deo.html There's another one, non emergency brake ua-cam.com/video/V6y4OdkDd7c/v-deo.html

Fantastic video! This was incredibly entertaining, really enjoyed the variety of locations as well as that wonderful footage from onboard. Great variation of perspectives!
@@TrainiacProductions Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it
7:27 Hey it's NJT #4145! This engine got traded to MARC a few years back and you see it around on the Camden and Brunswick lines sometimes. Cool to see it out and about from back in the day!
!!!Good video, like!!!
Very interesting!!
7:29 I can’t even begin to explain how stupid this consist is
I love those E60 locomotives, too bad they didn’t last, I love those older bells on all those locomotives too.
I love that this has the ICE and the X2000. My Amtrak in New England 90s video definitely has these same vibes!
I sure miss that era of Amtrak. Was the best. Clean trains and lots of accomodations.
Could the e60 locomotive pull the multilevel cars
@@javonbrandon I'm sure they could
Nice video, but how do you know which train is going where? They all look the same to me.
@joea7763 thank you, just years of watching them, plus some notes.
Good video, like .
@@ЛЬВИНИ thank you!
awesome footage!
damn those are t he same trains we have now...
@BusTVChan definitely not, things have changed in 30 years for sure
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu yeah your right.. but some of the equipment featured on this video can still be seen in revenue service today..
@@DavidPaul-dh5iuthey have but some of the locomotives for NJT are definitely the same.
This is super helpful for research towards the development of my Northeast Corridor game on Roblox. Thanks!
@@buildintotrains thank you, and good luck!
It’s a shame, Amtrak. It didn’t keep the Atlantic City run.
@zazaranger5 I don't think they ever properly marketed it, There should have been something where the casinos were involved, and slot dollars were part of a ticket. It's a shame because the richmond train really was the best of the bunch, During this spring and summer the train was 6-7 cars. It was really too close to philadelphia to pull people out of their cars and ride the train.
The Broadway Limited looks gorgeous! I miss the 90’s rail system. It’s more treasure level than today’s trains.
@@JoshuaTheTransitProdigy that train should've never been taken off.
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu I very much agree. Not everybody is on the Lake Shore Limited line. We need more services to Chicago.
Oh Amtrak basically had their own version of ACES except it originates from Philadelphia? to Atlantic City.
@Touchybanana They had trains from Washington, Richmond, Philadelphia, and Springfield MA via NY. They ran from May 1989 until April 1st 1995.
Where are they now?
Good footage!
@Nurvington Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Spot Amtrak 262 or 312.
No way they caught the ICE test train
@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 we sure did. Its also seen on one of the Frankford jct videos........twice
its a X2 not ICE

Dave. Listen to me. YOU ARE THE MAN! If you ever made DVDs of these I would buy them, and I don't even buy DVDs. Your videos are like time capsules. BRILLIANT.
@@NortheastTrainMan thanks for the kind words! It's amazing how much has changed in 30 years.
Awesome stuff. What route did PICA and CAPI take to get to and from Camden to Pittsburgh ?
@_mynewcareer thank you!, they came across the delair bridge from NJ, to Frankford jct, ran along the corridor to ZOO tower to get on the reading via Belmont up until 1993, after 1993 they built a connection down to Park Jct to get on the reading there. They took the Reading line out to reading and Harrisburg line from there to Harrisburg. Pittsburgh line via Altoona from there.
This is like stepping into a Time Machine! Great video
@BillyFromNYC Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Why did the diesels have to run by lite?
@_mynewcareer they ran from Race st engine facility in Philadelphia, to Frankford jct where the line to NJ and Atlantic City splits off. They made the change there from electrics. So the diesels ran backward lite to there.
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu interesting
NJ Transit is still running this rolling stock today, except they are older and much dirtier. Even the double decker cars, which have been in service nearly 20 years, are looking old and filthy. Nowadays, there's no point looking for a window seat. You can't see anything out of the window anyway, as it's completely fogged over with crud and damage.
They aren't running ALP-44's nor Comet III's anymore, and haven't for years.
The oldest multilevel cars entered service in 2006, but the majority of them are newer than that. Dirty is one thing, but they certainly don’t look “old”. The Arrow IIIs are old, the Multilevel’s are certainly not old, and Bombardier still has the same basic design for sale in there catalogue. 20 years is also pretty young for most railroad rolling stock, so that’s not saying much. 40 years should be the expected lifespan of most locomotives and passenger cars.
@@jvohanian Well they are still running the Arrow III units, which have been in service since 1977, unless I hallucinated one pulling into Metropark last week.
@@Andrew-ep4kw The upper level window seats aren’t worth it so if I wanna film, I’m sitting on the bottom row. 6:20
Okay, it pretty much means that they'll either have to give up and lose the company or just move on to next-generation electricity
And Now! Mary (Wheel Chaired)!

Yep, they are still in service too, rebuilt since, but one is the NJ DOT Heritage unit that is on this video ua-cam.com/video/-xpMFFB-qcw/v-deo.html
@@DavidPaul-dh5iu Do you remember a year and perhaps even month when this was filmed? Looks like 4102 went as far as 1992/1993 before being rebuilt. Rare footage.
@Viewer_Discretion_is_Advised I'm gonna guess 1992. My dad did the video, but I was there as a 16 year old. I might have photo that I took somewhere in my collection. That might have a year on it.
@@Viewer_Discretion_is_AdvisedCorrect NJT 4102 was GP40PH before rebuilt into NJT 4110 when 4148 was GP40PH-2A.

those turboliners were underrated why gone so soon?
Turboliners were fine. Not sure why they had to remove them.
Is the "baggage car" that the FL9's pull off at Albany an HEP generator or something vs an actual baggage car I'm guessing?
@mgzuck It was a HEP generator as far as I know. If you look at the shot In Albany, It seems Rev up, so to speak, as the locomotive throttles up, which is interesting.
The then-new genesis engines appear at the end of video. Unit No. 203. On November 18, 1993, Metro-North placed an order for 30 new dual-mode locomotives which soon became known as the P32AC-DM. Four of these new locomotives would be owned by the CDOT and would wear a NH heritage paint scheme, with white for the top half and a white line going down the front and stops right below the first set of headlights and a spec down the sides and back, black for the middle portion, red for the bottom portion, a skinny white line in between the red and black again for the skinny line just above the undercarriage. The first completed unit, #201, was unveiled to the public as part of a ceremonially unveiling of the new locomotives on February 25, 1995. #201 then went into passenger service on May 3, 1995. Amtrak was receiving a fleet of 18 P32s to run on their empire routes to Poughkeepsie and Albany NY out of Penn Station in Manhattan NYC. These were numbered 700-717. The final four P32s, Nos. 228, 229, 230 and 231, were delivered to Metro-North in September of 2001. The last of the FL-9s were retired in October 2001 after the final P32AC-DMs were delivered for service.
David, this was an awesome video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
