8:11 what's that train doing down there?
Wish the station names were shown or announced.
AL can max at 220mph. It's basically a TGV-M trainset. As tracks get better maybe we can get closer.
I wonder if they could replace the cars with quieter cars? PATCO trains are very loud.
23:24 There it is. The soon-to-be reopened Franklin Square stop, shuttered for the past 45 years due to low ridership.
3:15 A NJ Transit Atlantic City Line train bound for 30th Street Station in Philadelphia
Great video! How do you find out when the Acela Liberty is going to run? Thanks in advance for you help!
1:17 extremely rare
Hi can you tell me how to drive in a timetable? I dont know why but for me this map has no cycle and without that i cant do the timetable mode please help
At 0:45, the train briefly vanishes!!
Why do like all trains go top speed in Princeton junction
I think this is the fastest I’ve seen it go on UA-cam. Video isn’t sped up at all?
Nope
Thanks for the nostalgia ride! It was definitely a weekend or holiday because there are no rush hour trains parked in staging sidings. Back in 1980 I used to work for the Speed Line in the Signals group. One commenter was sad that the AC Line train passed them. I can assure you that the HS Line trains can outrun them no problem but they are speed limited with passengers onboard. Normal cruise speed between stops is 70 MPH. Rumored by the "old guys" that they can hit 100. Another noted the train crossed over to the other track before going underground. Yes, the normal track section must have been out of service for maintenance. It crossed back to the normal side before Broadway Station. On the Philadelphia side after coming off the Ben Franklin Bridge there is the Franklin Square Station with access to the Liberty Bell park that is closed and boarded up. Last used in 1976 for the Bicentennial.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Not for long. After 45 years, PATCO is reopening the Franklin Square Station later this year due in part to new developments in housing and business. The Delaware River Port Authority has spent about a few years cleaning up the dirty grime and dust left behind after the station closed down in 1979 due to low ridership.
Took this ride a few weeks ago. Pleasantly surprised at how fast it was.
It's one of the shortest & quickest subway rides you can do on SEPTA. I once did this ride in 9 mins!(This was on thr last trip though!)
Nice. A long time ago I used to work in an office building right next to the Haddonfield stop. I can still remember the building shaking when the trains went by
Thanks for sharing
For the announcements, is that the same guy that does the AirTrain systems in the New York Area?
Yes it is, the same guy who does the announcements for the Newark AirTrain.
When will people realize that a horn is meant to alert people and is not meant to sound nice. The higher pitched horn can be heard further then a typical K5LA.
This is straight up facts, I've been trying tell my friends the same thing.
15th & Locust, the last stop in Philadelphia Center City. It would be nice if the line continued through West Philadelphia to the 69th Street transit hub, then out to Norristown on the SEPTA speed line.
Unfortunately that is physically impossible as the MFL has broad gauge tracks
Why that AI voice that sounds like it belongs on a cat video?
They switch from the right track to the left track just before going underground. Is that the usual route?
They normally travel right and at higher speed in that section. It looks like this was filmed last summer; they had a period of time where they were single-tracking that section for upgrade work, which may have been the cause.
@TheHungryTransitFan This info is incorrect, this video was filmed 2 weeks before uploading. I didn't see any work crew in the tracks, maybe they were preparing work for during the night.
@@Frances_Network_Production right, around August, that's in the time frame. The work went from around mid-July through August due to flooding on July 4th (I made a video about it). I rode PATCO around 10 days before this posted, they were double-tracking then (made a post about it on Twitter/x, that's how I was able to recall it). Thankfully, the work is all done, and they're running quite efficiently with no flooding since!
@@TheHungryTransitFan Ooooh, okay my mistake. 😅
@@Frances_Network_Production don't sweat it! I rode it several times during that period, also I think the catalyst for the track work schedule change was the day I rode in my 4th of July video, so it's burned into my memory! 😂 Side note, I really enjoy your vids and photography! Keep it coming!
PATCO is one of only a few 24/7 subways on Earth (outside of NYC).
I thought CTA was one as well, technically just the Blue and Red but. 🤨
Great catch. Wonderful video. Greetings Joe 😊
0:25 meme template
I love the European Horn sounds so much. It's different and evokes a real high speed train. unlike the K5LA that just sounds so outdated now.
Nah I disagree with you. K5LA is much much nicer on the ears in my opinion at least compared to the squeaky European horn. It's so shrill and I don't even think of it as a train horn sounds like a European ambulance.
I beg to differ; the 2-tone French hooter sounds HORRID!!! 🤮 I HOPE they replace them with K5LA's on the production Avelias. It could actually turn out to be a safety issue as well; how many non-railfan people would even RECOGNIZE that as a train horn! Even Virtual Railfan, on one of their clips of it, subtiled it "A horn only a mother could love"! 😄 A 5-note K5LA, by comparison, compares well in musicality to a chime steam whistle. 😎
@@WA1LBK I completely agree with you! The K5LA is recognized by even non railfan individuals while the euro horn sounds horrible it won't be recognized and I feel especially at Crossings and stations it maybe ignored even....so a safety definitely.
Ok... Ok.... I just Wanna say something: what?
@@ChimmyAnimate I said what I said and what I said is facts
1:43 Jesus Christ….
That does not look like 165
No not at all
2:08 forget trains, that sounds like a jet plane!
@@zanethexdevelevators232more or less?
I think that’s more, I wish it was able to go 220 which is its top speed
For the pass at 1:34, I get about 2.7 seconds for the train to pass. That would be 176 mph!
If it was, then it would be 4 mph faster than the UAC Turbotrain
I got ~3 seconds. Still fast tho!
They really need to work on some better aerofoils for the pantograph, although i like the sound as it goes past! neeeawww..
The US rail speed record is 171mph on this stretch of track 50 years ago with the UAC turbotrain. Just 7 more mph Amtrak this train is barely breaking a sweat.
Not really. The record is officially 183 mph held by the New York Central Black Beatle, a Budd RDC that had two jet engines from a B-36 on the top set back in 1966 in Indiana. Obviously it wasn't meant as anything more than a mad-lad demonstrator to show they could do it, but that's where it stands. No doubt though, if they wanted to go for the speed record now, the Avelias could do it. They can do 200+ if given good track to do it.
1:43 I think it just did that pretty sue it was at least going ~173 mph
@@SteveGettingAroundPhilly Yep. They can hit 220mph.
Damn! But these trains are fast what's with the comparison with Europe and America? Must it fly? 😂😂😂this new liberty is making a real entrance. Waoo.
Please dear god someone do something about that horn
Do something about it? Hell yeah! Make it louder, the thing's great!
My man, that is quite possibly the worst horn I have ever heard. It’s definitely UK style, the US has a different vibe going with their K5LAs
They need to replace those horns with a respectable K5LA!
Yeah K5LA sounds like the perfect replacement for those squeaky ass horns
K5LA is overused and outdated plus higher pitched can travel further. I love the Euro Horn it's finally something new and modern and sounds like the future we deserve.
@@growingup15 nah I disagree. The K5LA is still the horn of choice. The European horn is just too shrill makes my ears cringe.
@@stupidkid351 the Euro horn sounds so much more soothing than the ear piercing K5LA horn. Why do you think so many places are implementing quiet zones now. Hell in my City they are putting up quiet zones everywhere because of how loud the K5LA is
@@growingup15 I just find the K5 LA much better sounding horn. It's more high-pitched the European horn I know that but I just don't find it very soothing to the ears but everyone's opinion is different
Sweet! Does it go by Princeton junction at 165? When will it finally go into service?
Incredible to see that train move so fast. Where do you find out when it's testing?
Pure nostalgia
They fully wrapped that bus with the Etsy ad wrap. I just saw it on the way home
Crazy how the Speedline still manages to catch up with the ACL lol
You put the name wrong its E40LFR not E40LF idk its coming soon
sad that the NJT train plowed right by them when they were going full speed.
We barely got up to 54MPH before we had to brake for the next stop. Track speed for the ACRL is 80MPH during the section while PHSL is 70MPH.
Those cars are 54 years old, and still run great.
A testimony to the quality of the upkeep of the trains by the maintenance shops! If this were the MBTA in Boston they would already be broken down 🫤
@@edwardmiessner6502 the cars were totally rebuilt inside and out.

How do you get your videos to be long on Xbox ?
You need a USB flash drive that had 3.0 processing speeds, but this video was streamed on Twitch so I saved the stream and posted it.
Great shots 👍 Cheers from the French Alps!
How you get the Talent 2 in TSW3?
If it's not tool late, buy the Nahverkehr Dresden DLC for TSW2 & 3
@andrei I already own Nahverkehe-Dresden, I'll be doing a similar video, but instead of German EMUs/DMU, it'll be focused on German Locomotives.
6:40 where is that?
Septa silverliner 4, 3 & 2?
Their was no Silverliner 2 or 3 their, their was a Silverliner 4. I just didn't get thr chance to blow that horn. Same with the SEPTA ACS-64, that was also their. I just didn't get a chance to blow it's horn.
I like the broad street line horn. The high & low note together beautiful sound. I wish I had it on my Ford escape
P𝐫O𝕞O𝓢m
Phenominal work!
I can’t wait in the future the Siemens Ventures joins the party
How many mph I think 70 lol
Yeah he was doing 65-70MPH, also if you listen right at 0:24 you can notice one of the gears slip sound awesome!
@@francesgames6715 0:24 made me smile instantly 🥰🥰🥰
That was definitely some no gear lock type time ..what gear was that third??
@@franksanders9677 The gears went from 1st straight to 3rd gear, it skipped 2nd gear due to the driver having to slow down on a hill, just to speed back up instantly to keep the flow of traffic. The same thing happens again at 0:37 , this time though he hit the gas at the spot when the bus normal gear change coasting the bus to change gears and backfire alot!
