- We take a fast ride from Trenton to downtown Philadelphia through a snowy scene with a great crew onboard train 710.  Highly detailed identifying all stations, interlockings, overpasses, and passing trains as we take a Silverliner 5 sleigh ride to Philadelphia. (I have done three or four of these videos from Trenton to Philadelphia.  I had to deal with sitting in a bad seat, dirty window, raindrops on window, but this was far and away my best effort)

I've ridden this line many times. Even commuted to/from Eddington (office park adjacent). Trenton makes, the world takes sign is a landmark.
Thanks Tim💚👌
[23:35] The Silverliner IV's were made tough...Built to last!
I must admit with great pain in every fiber of my body that they do 😢😢😢😢
I rode SEPTA from Trenton to Philadelphia back in May 2023. Enjoyed it as well as enjoyed my time in Philadelphia. Nice place and I wish to go back there in the near future.
Very enjoyable, it's the next best thing to riding the train personally. Thanks.
Trenton makes, the world takes. One of those unforgettable landmarks when crossing the Delaware out of Trenton.
Beacon of light, beacon of hope.
As per usual, very excellent video, keep up the good work and greeting from a very warm/Hot Australia
A new RRFHG video what a treat! Sort of a companion piece to the Doylestown line snow ride.
Working on that now
🎉Great Train Video In The Snow!!!
Please ride the River Line soon. Thank you.
That was a very nice ride. I hope to go back to Philly sometime soon, and I plan on riding NJ Transit and SEPTA from NYP to PHL if I do. The Silverliner IV's are okay in my opinion, but personally, I like the Silverliner V's better, especially because of the front window seat. I hope I get one when I make the transfer at Trenton.
They run those fives on the Trenton trains quite a bit
I always found it amazing how Zoo interlocking was automated. I remember when manned those talented individuals were called "The Zookeepers." As technology further advances functionality, hopefully it will not totally replace the human side of the operations lest the railroad looses its soul.
I believe it is still a man interlocking
That's good. It keep people on the job and food on their table. Some things are just best left to the personal touch.
thanks RRHG for braving the weather, always a delight to watch your stuff👍
When you have the drive, nothing stops you
@@3985uprrThat was one good local trip, even though the tracks were slippery.
Hello from the UK I last travelled along this Route non stop DC to Newark train journey started from Greensboro after travelling on steam loco 611. Is that an Electric scooter I see at Bristol station? (In the UK they are banned on all trains as there considered dangerous due to a few having self ignited). Excellent clip I’ll be back in USA in May travelling on Empire Builder Seattle to Chicago then hopefully a Metra SD70
Tim, to give you an idea of how fast you were doing between Bristol and Croydon, the speed limit on US 13 is 40 mph.
That’s a very fast section of track. We blew past Bristol Pike Lanes in a cloud of dust.
I didn't think Septa stopped at Eddington anymore 🤔
A few still do
Silver liner 5 accelerate fast
That’s just one of several things that impress me about that equipment
@@3985uprrThe tracks were very slippery, weren't they?
When are you coming up the the NS Reading/Harrisburg line?
Not sure
As a mech for 35 years I reg in 08 just before those 5 really took over and the guys said they are terrible but my fav is the GE as railroaders called them not 4s
Mechanically, they admittedly are not as durable as the GE’s but I’ll give them TLC as long as they are around.
Flat spots on that lead truck!
Most Silverliner V cars have flat spots.
Did u do this video before
Not with snow. I’ve done several of this run, but I think this is the best of all of them.
At 0:50, MCMM Transit Productions will hate the 839!

Retired Railfan Horn Guy, do you like the Septa push pull trains?
Oh yes I do.
They are cool. Love the horns on them
Just found your channel. Are you in the cab? What camera or phone did you use, and did you hand hold it. Thank you.
Railfan window
iPhone 12 Pro. It has a great stabilizer. I just wedged between the headrest on the forward seat. Sometimes I use a selfie stick but it would have been difficult sitting where I was
@@3985uprr Thank you sir.
Where can I get the best pizza in Philly?
