TVS-Amtrak & SEPTA Trains: Weird Happenings At Crum Lynne
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- We see a lot of left field shit in this new video. This would be the FIRST video I did since Auntie RoRo came and crashed the party for the last few months. Though I was here because I was tipped off that Amtrak would be sending their new Avelia Liberty (The Acela 2.0) train to Ivy City, D.C. from Penn Coach Yard at 30th Street Station. We also see a few Amtrak trains, an Amtrak wire train, and SEPTA Regional Rail running on their abbreviated COVID-19 schedules.
Trains Seen:
Amtrak Catenary Maintenance Vehicle
Alstom Avelia Liberty
Budd Amfleet
CAF Viewliner II
GE Silverliner IV
Morrison-Knudsen Viewliner I
Siemens ACS-64
I swear 70% of all Avelia comments are: ChAnGe ThE hOrN WaAaAaAaAaAhHhHh! Edit: I'm not your casual "I hate the new and love the old!" Train dude, that's why I feel chill with the horn.
You're getting pinned for that! Best description.
Awesome Train the Avelia Liberty is , I would love to see it in person and hopefully ride on it one day. Great video and amazing shot of the The new Acela, Amtrak, Septa and The NS diesel trains love them all and you and the music rock keep going okay.😊👍.
I noticed the Vermonter no longer has a baggage car. Wonder why. Used to have a lot of tourist and bicycle traffic. Great shot of Avelia under wire. First one I've seen!
Hasn't had one in over a decade now. It also been rerouted so that it doesn't have to do a reverse move anymore.
6:23 I saw that stopped in perryville. That SD60E and ET44AC were idling for a long time.
And that's why I love the corridor. The once place where the passenger trains can bully the freight into submission instead of oppisite way around elsewhere.
Great catches!! I really loved seeing a familiar train to me, the Vermonter, in a completely different environment to what I'm used to. I've lived along the NECR Palmer subdivision (Or whatever you call the stretch of line between Brattleboro VT and Palmer MA) all my life so far, and grew up seeing the Vermonter pass through my hometown. They switched it over to the PAR Conn River line in 2014, it was a big deal at the time, all over the news with massive upgrades done to the track for 75-80 mph operation. As a kid, I remember seeing standard power of a P42 at either end. Trains were normally 5 cars, and they would often add a 6th around Thanksgiving and Christmas. At some point they started switching towards a single P42 on the point, usually with a cab car at the other end. Still saw the leading/trailing setup though. Nowadays they seem to exclusively run with a single loco in the lead, and typically a cab car at the rear.
Also, I noted the catenary maintenance vehicle didn't seem to be running on over head, even though it definitely has a panto. Were they doing work on the overhead nearby your shooting location?
Weirdly, no, they weren't working on the overhead near me. The CMV was actually heading up to 30th Street after completing some wirework near the Penn Medicine SEPTA Station. However, there was track work nearby so that why trains were going by slow with horn.
The Avelia Liberty is awesome! Although the horn doesn’t really fit in that well.
In my opinion, the horn fits pretty well with the design of the train. I love that horn for some reason.
Believe it or not, JoeKrazy def has a point despite how much they try to Americanize the design, it still a French/Italian Train in it's roots. (Italian being the Pendolino tilting system they use.) So the horns sound exactly like what they have over there.
Nice Very Nice. great post thanks
I hope they figure out a way to change the horn. And if they do, I hope one set keeps the Euro horn, and the rest get a K5LA.
THEY WANTED THAT PATHETIC LITTLE BEATLE HORN!!! LOL!! They specially spec'd that! They ain't changing it unless we Karen them to death about it lol.
There was also an NS light engine move with SD60E #6937 and ET44AC #3672.
2:03 Why that vehicle is having European style buffers on American tracks?
From what I was told, The CMV's originally from Germany built by the company Plasser & Theurer. I believe since it was a Maintenance car, it didn't fall under the Buy American Act (or was around before the law happened) which allowed Amtrak to import these, Euro Buffers and all. They have been running Amtrak's Northeast Corridor since the 90s. I believe NJ Transit also has one of them.
Awesome! Although that horn is horrible.

It looked better all painted in blue, like in commercial from a few years ago.
Yeah but our flag isn't all blue and Amtrak has been criticized about dropping the Red and White in the past which is why they tried to bring back Phase III with those new Viewliner cars. Sadly, the new Amtrak CEO decided he was just going to modify the already existing Phase V with Red and white so people will shut the fuck up about how America's railroad doesn't have all the American colors.
all you need is a tripod for perfection, but still a great video!
That and a better camera. This one is wigging out on me.
@@CaseysTrains Well, all in good time, keep it up! You have great material!
How many Avelia Liberty trainsets does Amtrak have as of today?
2
thanks
Awesome
Great video!!! Where can I get the music at the end, awesome??
I had to use a YT to MP3 Converter but Right here: ua-cam.com/video/JKcIh8MNh6g/v-deo.html
@@CaseysTrains Thank you. Be well.
Please change the avelia horn plz🤦🏾♂️
I'm gunna have to ask you to tweet that to Amtrak, Boss. I'm just a goth girl with a camera lol. I can't really fix that
Nicholette Casey's Trains I’m sorry I wasn’t meaning you I was typing to fast i left out Amtrak great vid I live in Philly and can’t wait to see it run
It's okay lol I was being silly. I blame AirForceProud95 for that.
If you want a real glimp of what the California high speed train looks like, here you go at 6:41 that trainset.
Amtrak should've put a K5LA on the Acela
Nice catches
Awesome! I’m waiting for it to come to nj. If even does.
I hope to God, you've been chilling at PJ recently. They been doing high-speed tests there.
I dont want you to miss it!
Pretty neat!
I hate that the Avelia doesn’t at all match the concepts.
Actually outside of the straight sides of the power cars (which was done on purpose since there a law preventing them from tilting which why they have a front bulge) and use of Black trim in concept drawing, it looks EXACTLY like the concept drawing....at least to me. If you don't see it then that's perfectly okay but I kinda do.......
Horn is nasty lol
Its European and nice I like it.
Is that the sound of them, or the horns mounted on the headlamps at 2:10 and 5:02 ?
Very Popular Opinon.
Nice vid
I love the new train but the horn is ass please change.
I'm gunna have to ask you to tweet that to Amtrak, Boss. I'm just a goth girl with a camera lol. I can't really fix that
You were on the other side of trainman1971!
Well, we're dating so... lol
Nicholette Casey's Trains oh... a whole railfan family is coming you’re way maybe!
Clearly the odd one out here but not a fan of the Avelia Liberty design by any means, hell the profiles don't even match
That actually a popular opinion!
One ugly Duckling.
That horn sucks
