    the best view of this ride is out the left side on the way south, there’s a couple hours along the ocean in Connecticut that is just stunning.

    My friend and I were 14 years old when we hopped on our first freight train ride through the “Deadman’s Tunnel” in Jersey City on Easter 🐣 Sunday in 1967! Also known as the Long Dock or Bergen Tunnel, 57 people were killed ⚰️ ✝️ 🪦 and 32 others ⛑ injured during its construction in the mid 1800s! After exiting the western portal, we got off of the moving train and returned 🏡 home, trekking our way through the “Erie Cut.” Opened for passenger service in 1911, this 4-track corridor was 🏗built to bypass the smoke 💨 and congestion of the 2-track Bergen Tunnel. Commonly called “The Bergen Arches,” they are a series of underpasses located 60 feet below street level. These tunnels were built by the Erie RR and the Department of Transportation, with the Erie Portals ⚒crafted in the Ornamental 🖼 Art Deco of the time period! Train operations in The Cut ended with the closing of the Erie Railroad 🛤 Passenger Terminal located on the Jersey City Waterfront. The Dead 💀 Man’s Tunnel is still in operation today as a freight line for the Norfolk and Southern. 🎌 🚩 thanks

    32:48 cruising under the abandoned Pawtucket-Central Falls Station. Built in 1916 by the NYNH&H RR and closed by 1959, it has an interesting history since it still sits on top of the right of way,

    I forgot to mention that the Erie Railroad 🚞 Passenger Terminal closed in 1955, ending all train operations through the Erie Cut-“Bergen Arches.” In the late 1950s, the company removed 3 of the 4 tracks in the corridor, leaving one as a siding for the Croxton Yard freight terminal. This track (No.3) still has some remaining rails and ties left and this is how I first discovered this place back in 1967. Also, very importantly, both the Erie Cut and the Bergen Tunnel are 7/10 of a mile long! thanks 🚩

    Thanks for sharing. Brought back memories of when I lived in East Greenwich RI and would go watch trains with my son. 51:43 is the old station in EG. 52:14 is the bridge over Old Forge Rd, I have quite a few videos filmed from the street below and right after that is the cut behind the house where we lived. Used to walk through the woods to watch trains there, too.

    Amazing isn't it. One of the oldest cities in America, and they built what is now consisdered a high speed rail line right out of downtown Boston to Providence RI. with no grade crossings and few curves. New passenger cars with lower center of gravity, tilt train technology, and steeper track curves would allow for probably closer to 200 mph speed

    You should repost this backwards.
    That would occasionally look weird, with cars and people going the wrong way, but most of it would give a convincing illusion of being filmed from the cab going forward.

    I assume this is the Acela train?
    I usually travel from Connecticut to Vermont several times a year.
    I take the Vermonter train and I much rather take the Amtrak train Vs the Greyhound bus!

    • @dennisarntz3177
      @dennisarntz3177 4 місяці тому +2

      It is not the Acela. The Acela has a locomotive at each end. This is a regional train that I beleive has a top speed of 125 mph vs the Acela at 150 mph.

    The Men 🦺 who constructed the Bergen 🏗Tunnel and put down the tracks, lived with their families on site, 🚧 in a place called Shanty Town, which was located on a hill where the present-day Dickinson High School 🏫 Building stands today!

    The amount of trash trackside in Boston AT THE station itself is a turn off. Do you see trash on the runway at the airport?! NO! This does not build confidence as a customer. Looks like a wonderful fire hazard. Should be an Amtrak employee job to handle this track trash daily. First train stop was a poorly maintained station in this video, green mold on walls, trash, and dirt in abundance. Some stations get all the TLC, many, many do not. Amtrak why do you always have to check my darn ticket for validation? I understand crews change. One check is okay for the trip, but not over and over again on the journey, get some sort of system in place, maybe the app that identifies me (Bluetooth) for the entire journey as a paid customer and let me be, let me read and sleep.
    .
    Having said that, I sure love trains and train watching! 🚅
