    They still have bridge plates over 4?! it was shut down when I was commuting to New Haven out of that ‘terminal’ (😉 I watched your GCT to New Haven Super Express video). Four has been shut down for about fours now! I assumed it was shut down because of catenary rework. But that cannot be the case anymore. 🤔
    I used to sit at Bridgeport just to watch the trains go by. I miss doing that. Thank you for the wonderful memories. 😀

    Hi
    Can you make a video of the former yard in Waterbury? I'm curious to learn more about this, and whether this can be used for a new freight or passenger hub center.

    This is my former railroad (retired). Even though the train was on track 2- to gain access, you have to board from track FOUR. customers are still instructed to board trains from the track 4 platform, which is why tk 4 is displayed. In addition, they are not called ‘gang planks’ on the railroad, they are called bridge plates. FYI.✌🏾👍🏽

    5:26 it sounds like the train is using 2 e-bells at the same time. Interesting

      ACS64s usually do ring both bells at the same time. very unique feature.

    5:09 how come that track is never used ever since those gang planks are there, is there a back story to it?
