Your narration is really good! Very clear and easy to follow. Only other interstate commuter trains I can think of are Chicago Metra which has a line into Wisconsin, and St. Louis MetroLink between Illinois and Missouri.
as a railfan that live along the Westmont portion of the line and I love that i can take the train to NYC with a transfer in Camden (to riverline) and Trenton (from riverline to NJT) for less than $60 round trip. As for the plans for PATCO I could see them taking over the NJT Atlantic City Line, with NJT still continuing Lindenwold to 30th street for those who want/need the direct connection, but I don"t see them doing it without NJT pay a large majority of it, if not all of it, to double track and electrify the line. It could be possible if there was federal funding but that is more focused on long-distance/intercity electrification. A branch line to Glassboro from Lindenwold would be a great connection but it would need new trackage which would complicate things massively. The GCL has the same problems as PATCO taking over the ACL with double tracking but with the added problem of stations and crossings, I believe that with enough time the line will be operational but the 2028 timeline they set for service to begin is too close as they haven't broken ground on any stations nor have any train sets on order. I could see NJT possibly taking it over as an extension to the riverline.
Good work! I rode PATCO to work for 32 years, 1975-2007. Wonderful service. In 1975 the fare from Haddonfield to Phila was just 60 cents. I'd like to see the line extended to Atlantic City but that will neve happen.

Great video and look at the history!

Great video! I also think it is cool that the seats are in a commuter style.
