6:57 The opening credits to the 60’s TV show “That Girl” were filmed on this stretch and played in reverse to look as if the train was heading towards Newark. The station at Secaucus Junction did not exist back then.
At 7:33 it was interesting to see one of the color light position signals on a platform surrounded by fencing. As I live in Pittsburgh and the former PRR now Norfolk southern inherited those color light position signals alp over this area. It was just so weird and cool to see one on a platform
Nice video - I took that trip many times from EWR to Penn Station in the 80s and 90s. I just loved the journey, though Penn was hardly a grand ending. Fortunately Gotham was just a short walk from there!
Before Moynihan opened, the entire station was underground! It was Amtrak's only fully underground station. It is also like a mini-mall down there, with a lot of shops and restaurants
At 16:30 there is an open area of the extreme West Side just before entering the station, I used to see this. These days, even on the regional, I never see it. It's interesting that you can see all the way to the end of the tunnel until almost reaching that area, (well past the NYS line, over 3 miles) after going up in elevation slightly. When will the rail systems dig another tunnel and where?
@@jboushka The open area you described was a open cut located between 9th and 10th Avenues. It was decked over in the mid-2010's with a large platform that supports the Manhattan West development above.
@@Hypestrike1 Yes, you are correct. The south bound train used to emerge from beneath the Farley Post Office before the tunnel (or enter the open area after the tunnel before going beneath the Post Office if going northbound), since decked over to construct Hudson Yards.
the infrastructure in this region is astounding. other than the old portal br , its been holding up well for its use and age. just so appealing to the eye. i never get tired of it. the remains of the old penn station are in the weeds along this stretch. if you look hard you can see them out the window (not on this vid) , pieces of facade and columns
i always thought the north river tunnels and the chamber at the end of them in psny looked different in tsw from how it does out the window, good to know I was right!
You really need a lesson on how to properly film on a moving train. You should have been aiming at the door for the scene or not film the scene at all. The faux pas you made is evident that you are a digital film novice. Nothing to worry about, just brush up on how to film on a moving train. Good luck! @@YuqiLinux
It's going from the immediate suburban station on the line through tight turn and a freight yard to get to a tunnel were it stops in the middle at Pennsylvania Station.
Dude, you’re doing it all wrong… You’re supposed to be playing loud, obnoxious music and flashing clips of things that are in no way related to this! 🤪
finallyyyy a rear view ride that's in 4K.. AMAZING VIDEO. Would love to see one from NYP-Philly or Philly-DC if possible :)
I think there is some out there from PHILLY - NEW York or the other way around.
Very nice perspective! Seems like progress is coming along nicely on the portal bridge

Good catch. If you look closely at the freeway to the right, you can see the traffic flowing backwards.
Excellent quality. Good shots of the new Portal Bridge construction.
Very nice perspective of a trip that I have taken so many times! I especially enjoyed seeing the interlocking and trackwork just before entering NYP.

Wonderful capture. Love it. Greetings Joe 😊
Wow what an incredible journey!! Thanks for sharing this rear view journey!!
Thanks for viewing! Glad you liked it.
Well done. Brings back great memories.
Great unique rear view, love watching NY transit, Best wishes from UK 🇬🇧
It's like I'm riding along too. Great clarity.
Excellent views. Please do more like this on NEC in New Jersey. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it. I’d love to do more

Rode On Amtrak Once, Loved The Ride, Enjoyed The Scenery. To The Staff, Appreciate The Service, Trains. Stay Safe.
Had my headphones on and was laying with my eyes closed, falling asleep. Sound was so good, I thought I was on the train for a few minutes.
Wow! Sounds like I’m not the only one that falls asleep with the train ride videos😇 In fact that’s what I play to put me to sleep…
@@YuqiLinux I found out that steam locomotives especially work well for me.
Beautiful view and videos as 4k clear 😊 on amtrak 😊😊 well done brother
It's crazy how much stuff is underground at Penn Station!

Not sure about the tunnel, but the open area you mentioned used to be more open in 2014 and I could see the NYC skyscrapers on the train.
@@YuqiLinux How did they close it, and why?
@@jboushka I actually have no idea. I just noticed the difference on my rides.

great clip looks like their finally starting work on those bridges
i love this
Love me some trains
10:48. That part you were looking for. The tunnel ❤
I Like The Sound Of The Clickty Clack when The Train Hits The Joints
It’s my favorite as well!
Very interesting!
That was impressive. Like to see one to where I live.
I love it. I almost never get this view. I'm going to save this one. Aarre Peltomaa of Mississuaga, Ontario
Memories! Did this for over 10 years.
Even clean windows! Jackpot!
I was pretty surprised as well. It was almost spotless.
@@YuqiLinuxyou definitely wouldn’t have got that on NJT.
awesome! can you please try and do DC to NY?

Необычно как то видеть электрифицированную железную дорогу в Штатах,но вообще видео интересное,спасибо тавтору!
That was the first long distance train I went on and it goes all around America.
So familiar to me as an NJ resident.
And - if you haven’t done so - would love between NYC and Boston
i always thought the north river tunnels and the chamber at the end of them in psny looked different in tsw from how it does out the window, good to know I was right!
I think it has changed over the years. I used to see the skyscrapers before entering NYP station, but now they have covered it up.
So different now with Hudson Yards being capped (the area between the eastern portal of the North River Tunnel and New York Penn Station).
The first time I took this route in 2014 the skyscraper view near Hudson Yards really gave me a wow factor 😇
3:03 hey look a heritage unit
I thought it was some engineering vehicle
@@YuqiLinux if you look at the left side, you can see NJT 4641 parked

That's not how I imagined Penn Station...
How does Penn Station look like in your mind?
awesome this is similar to cleveland in ways
Why do the big stations look so gross and shabby?
Because they are old!
That is a really bad excuse. European stations don't look this bad.
Penn station is a shit show. Seems they are finally trying to improve. Grand Central Terminal is so much better.
Northeast Corridor
Great rear view in 4k Yuqi! So clear! Here's my latest September 2024 update of the Kearny west side. ua-cam.com/video/eoS3x97aGgA/v-deo.html
Love the video but we need better train stations. I can’t believe that’s how the platform looks.
Cant tell if this is real or Roblox lol cause theres a NEC train game on Roblox and it has Northeast Regional
I didn't know there was a Track 13 at NY Penn. GCT has one.
Man some of that infrastructure getting old bet some of it over 100yrs old !
I think they're planning new routes, but it's kinda amazing to see such old infrastructure still functioning as backbone of the commute.
Thank you for making me nauseous in the beginning. *NEVER EVER SWING THE CAMERA FAST*
If I didn't swing the camera fast I would have missed the door closing scene. You're watching a video on a moving train what are you expecting?

@@JayseGreene I don't master filming for sure. It's not my major. Thanks for your comment. I'll take it as a constructive one.
It absolutely was. I love train videos and have the utmost respect for the filmmakers. Buddy, dont jerk the camera no more, please? ;)@@YuqiLinux
Lighten up. This was fine.
Because of fat boy Chrystie the Portal bridge project far behind
I will never forgive him for that.
very slow train
It's going from the immediate suburban station on the line through tight turn and a freight yard to get to a tunnel were it stops in the middle at Pennsylvania Station.

I love trains and I love music, but I don’t like them being together 😂
@@YuqiLinux that was sarcasm! Yours is the way it supposed to be my friend!!
@@trainnerd3029 That was a good one 😇
