Yeah, I only saw a photo of one hauling a set of those old P70(possibly) 1920era heavyweight coaches. Wonder how they sounded and thundered down the corridor. There are some old footage of PennCentral era GG1s on youtube if that helps.
Nice to see all those fast trains, but the best part is the last shot of that Pensy E Unit is a flashback. That was sweet, I can only imagine your surprise!! Thanks for sharing. D. Muse . Washington Terminal Co. Model Railroad
The last time I traveled from the west to Newark and then onto Philadelphia by local, the difference in fare local over Amtrak was 10 to 1. You took the New Jersey train to the last stop walked less than 50 feet getting onto the Philadelphia train (SEPTA ?) the fare total less than $6. Amtrak Newark to Philly just over $100. There were 4 of us two adults, an 8 yr old and a 2 yr old. making Amtrak more convenient but far too expensive. I do think it's great that there is such a high volume of traffic keeping so many cars off the overcrowded roads. This is where Amtrak shines, not on the long cross country runs that as so heavily subsidized
Americans complain that they don't have high speed trains like Europe and east Asia, but Boston -NYC - Washington is the one area where the population along the route is dense enough to justify it. I suppose there is San Francisco - LA, but there is not much between the two cities.
The biggest issue is that their countries are the size of our states and are far more densely populated. If you exclude Russia from Europe. Most of The rest of Europe would fit East of the Mississippi.
2 car SEPTA train. Looked like 2 conductors plus the train operator. They really couldn't run that train with 1 conductor serving both cars? Just thinking.
Not the "Dinky". "Dinky" is a New Jersey Transit train, operating between Princeton Junction and Princeton University. Train you see is a SEPTA train, Philly's transit company. The Dinky is an anomaly on NJT as short as it is, while two-car trains on Septa are common, although not on the Trenton line, which this train is operating.
@@GamingRailfanner SEPTA doesn't operate the Dinky, NJT does. The train visible @1:56 is a SEPTA train. The Dinky and SEPTA operate similar equipment (Silverliner IV) so the Dinky looks like this, but it's usually just one Silverliner car, not two, and again it uses NJT equipment. It also doesn't actually operate on the corridor; there's a cross-platform connection at Princeton Junction. Here's a video featuring the Dinky, where you can see the difference in the livery (note the "NJT" on the front vs "SEPTA" on the train in this video) as well as subtle differences in the cars' appearance, especially on the roof:ua-cam.com/video/QOF9gpZmD0U/v-deo.html
The sound of that E8/F7 unit's horn. Wow!
I wish i could video trains like this. Large beasts like the EMD E-units.
Oh hey. It’s the train meme guy
Nice vids. Now I have to track down some old footage of GG1's hauling ass down the NEC on those 4 track mains......

Great video and sound, love the way you caught the sound catenaries makes, the swaying electrical wires after passing Acela.
