My name is Jack. Welcome to my channel. I make videos mostly about trains and sometimes other random stuff! Here, you’ll mostly find NJT, Amtrak, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and sometimes other trains like the MBTA, Metro North or the Subway whenever I visit those areas.
A few trains at Newark Penn Station, NJ 8/8/24
Last Thursday after I watched the action at Secaucus, I then took the train back to Newark. Since I had a few minutes, I decided to watch a few more trains including 2 NJTs and 2 Amtraks.
1: Amtrak ACS-64 pulling a northeast regional to Richmond running about 24 minutes late
2: Amtrak Acela to Washington running about 32 minutes late
3: NJT ALP-45DP 4502 pushing a comet set terminating
4: NJT ALP-45DP pulling a comet set to Trenton

Last Thursday, I decided to take the train over to Secaucus for a bit since I haven’t been there in a while. I stayed for just over an hour and got a ton of action! Many of the trains were also delayed as they opened the portal bridge as I saw they were doing construction there. I also unfortunately didn’t go to the lower level this time as I didn’t really feel like it. Anyway, this was a great...

Did you hear about the free train rides on NJ Transit the last week of August? patch.com/new-jersey/brick/s/iyl83/nj-transit-free-for-a-week-see-when-get-details?fbclid=IwY2xjawEtlLxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTaLcHcgHtKDuKJCAIiDKz_WGvIYsAG6UMUTrRT1xo1b7VoyZbr17E-eSQ_aem_nttz3RKp718M_sFfBkUVhA
Guessing the train after the third got cancelled. That would be the only reason it would make all local stops if the train ahead wasn’t cancelled.
I don’t think it was cancelled. The third one was 5737 that just came late. The one after was 5439 which I didn’t stay for.
@@thecooltrainguy5920 certainly strange that 5737 would make local stops if the trains before and after weren’t cancelled.
nice catches
First one was 13R. 11Z doesn't run through here.
Oh really? I thought 11Z does run through here, because it goes to Roanoke.
The thumbnail 💀
Yup I just changed it. It was kind of weird. lol
5:00 we saw her together
What do you mean? I don’t remember seeing you there.
That's rare. Metro liner cab car going pass Marland and it's was a long northeast regional. Thats Pretty Cool!
Yes it sure was rare to see!
It's like only trash and that's it for the first 7 minutes of it passing
I’m going on the Auto Train on August 16 when I go to Florida.
Yeah I know! Hope you enjoy it.
That is awesome that you got there. I wonder if Virtual Rail fan camera captured you.
Yeah I finally got to go there! And yup I was captured on the virtual Railfan cam!
@@thecooltrainguy5920 That is great to hear. Hopefully more adventures like that come your way (La Grange, La Plata).
Awesome video! This was a great day
Thanks! Yup it sure was!
Hello everyone I hope you all are doing well
Nice shots jack! Thank you so much for coming we had a great time!
Thanks! Of course!
Nice Jack... also i've seen NJT 4636 only time when i was at Princeton Junction NJ back in May
Think you can do a weekday rush hour video at Maplewood again?
Yeah, I’m hoping to go to Maplewood again soon. It’s been like a year and a half since I last went there!
Plus weekends they’re are cool two with the Multilevels meeting.
Awesome video! Enjoy your time!
Thanks! We’re already back. We were only there for three days! Lol. I did have fun though!
Nice Train
Thanks! Just regular CSX power though.
Yeah
Nice video!!
Thanks!
Nice Jack... also i'm surprised that you saw an Amtrak GP38-3 for the first time & that new Paint scheme looked really nice!
Thanks! Yeah I was lucky to see it!
@@thecooltrainguy5920.... Yeah but i never seen one before?
Hey! I liyin nearby Manville, New Jersey! 😃👌
Nice Jack... also if you're planning on coming to Macungie PA on Saturday... NS 4822 is on NS 18N & it might come back on NS 11N!
Thanks! I actually might be going to Macungie this Saturday as a friend of mine is having a meet up there
@@thecooltrainguy5920.... Yeah me too as well!
Wow a mixes set on the RVL, cuz it has the car that looks like a cabcar, and it being on the opposite track is rare I would say!
Cool trains dude
Thanks!
No way. It was you that I saw filming that day. I was on the last car of northbound train at 00:29. Me my mom were heading to EWR. It was great to see you film.
Nice! Wow what a coincidence that you actually saw me!
@@thecooltrainguy5920 Yep. When we passed Linden, I saw a guy in a red shirt filming on the opposite platform. I told my mom that I saw somebody filming at the station. I was wondering if that was you. Nonetheless, it was extremely cool. It seemed like a good day as for catching them.
4636! I grew up riding trains sporting those colors.
It's definitely an incomparable train spotting episode !! Greetings from India.
i was there too! 6706 looked great!
Those Bombardier AL-45DPs are hideous. Excellent video, though.
Nice video!
Thanks!
Next stop......Garwood!
How can this be "Norfolk Southern whe 2 C.s.x. engines pulled the train.?
Nice Jack... also i think i might’ve seen Greg Last August when he was on NS 24X plus i bet NS 8102 is gonna be on NS 62V & NS 63V for a while
Nice Trains Jack
Thanks!
Cool
Thanks!
@thecooltrainguy5920 You're Welcome
I remember when these storms did happen my parents and i were hone
Awesome
Thanks!
Nice Jack... also i'm not sure how many times you've seen NJT 4503 though because i'm still looking for it & i'm not sure when
Thanks! Yeah I’ve seen it so many times now.
@@thecooltrainguy5920... Geez that's a lot of times you it before i did!
I caught that same up at new market on 6/6/24
Cool i have bben to that station once
Thanks and nice!
Wow cool story
Excellent video and catches!!
Thanks!
Nice Jack... also i've Never seen 2 Heritage units on the Same Train Before?
Actually 911 isn't a heritage unit
@zdthelehighrailfan5362 Yup it was very cool to see!
Love still video of manifest train. Manifest trains are my favorite. I'm glad there were no DPU on manifest train because I find that 1 engine up front is boring. 9th like.
That CP 7030 was leading that
Nice shots man!
Thanks!
Nice Jack... also NS 4822 is Leading Tomorrows NS 24X & this is actually the first time it's gonna be coming to NJ!
Thanks! I unfortunately can’t go see it as I’m in Upstate New York this weekend.
@@thecooltrainguy5920... Aw man have fun in NY Though?
Cool! I saw 4508 in Raritan on 6/19/24 .
Thanks and nice!
Wow the r46 was loud when you got off and left dem r211 has come faster what I see
It's really an unparalleled train presentation !! Greetings from India 🇮🇳
19:39 Well its actually an SD70IAC duo 🤓
Do you mean the SD70M-2s? I don’t think I’ve heard of the SD70IAC.
@@thecooltrainguy5920 No, The SD70IACs are basically just more tech ACEs I should say They're 1174-1234 IAC Stands for Individual Axel Control Try to search up on it, it'll say more info about it They have SD70ICC which are rebuilt from the SD70M-2, 1250-51 so there's only two of them out rn They'll get more if they do well for Norfolk Southern
