Is this all at Depew? Best friend & I used to ride for free, from Depew to Downtown or Niagara falls - we'd ask the ticket agent how much to Buffalo, and he'd laugh & tell us to ask the conductor nicely to "hitch a ride" - after the first 4 or 5 times, we didn't even need to ask. Usually. we were the only passengers.
Max Chester that is Depew a Buffalo suburb. There is still a lot of great train watching that goes on in my birthplace of Buffalo. It’s a rotten shame that the damned idiot Mayor of Buffalo and 3 others chose Canalside for Buffalo’s Amtrak station instead of Central Terminal which already exists and would be far less costly to restore the tracks into & out of Central Terminal and Buffalo would have straight direct Amtrak service into Erie,PA, Cleveland & Toledo,OH, Elkhart & South Bend, IN and Chicago. It would also make a great Terminal for high speed trains and also still use Depew as a suburban station.
The video is awesome, but I have a question for you! How do the elderly people board the train! The platform is at a lower height and the bogeys are at a higher level!

There is a wheelchair lift they use. I've seen them use it a lot.
