A High Speed Summer along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor

Over the Summer of 2014, I had spent some time along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor at a couple different spots in the PA/NJ/DE area. This video is a compilation of that footage. A lot can be seen in this, from the toasters to the new sprinters, Acelas to my last video respects to the HHP-8 fleet, which has been since retired, and even some other neat stuff, including some NJT and even a few Amtrak Diesels. I hope you enjoy!

Nice stuff =) Weird to see NJT equipment west of Trenton.

[@GenesisSanctuary]

Great stuff, Dan! The HHP-8s might have sucked, but I do miss the variety they brought to the NEC.

[@trainutjob]

***** Thanks Rich! I agree, its odd not seeing them out there anymore. Never pictured that happening..

I got back from RailCamp East a few weeks ago. We went inside of the cab of AMTK 527.

[@erikmiller9823]

Bro at 10:11 that gotta be the best Acs-64 horn I ever heard

[@mtwenty_]

This is probably a stupid question but I am new to rail fanning, how do you tell exactly what the trains are

[@mtwenty_]

Wow thanks for such a detailed response I will probably start some more accurate rail fanning now. :D

Love that aem-7 now just name only because they arent operated again since 2016

[@zorro1955]

awesome

[@MSRTA_Productions]

5:52, that was Vermonter. Sometimes they put cab cars on the Vermonters

[@southeasternpennsylvaniara1588]

Amtrak642Railfan Productions no, that was the Keystone train. From New York-Philadelphia-Harrisburg and vice versa.

[@adrenalinecentral5929]

Nice!

[@MrZkr123]

Is it true that the HHP-8'S were rushed?

[@AGSGuy]

How come Ditchlights are off when passing a station for the most part?

[@princedarkness8029]

Acelas can be taken apart right? because I think I didnt see a dining car on one of them

[@humbledandgrateful7411]

10:41 to 10:50: very scary sound!

[@PaulsDMVRailroadsandAviation]

It's the fence shaking I think

[@humbledandgrateful7411]

Oh... it could be that, too, actually. I thought it was the overhead wires bouncing around...

[@charlesdreiser4801]

At 12:40, you can hear Garth yell for Dean. Must have been working a case in the area.

[@Trainguy1717Gaming]

Is is just me or at 12:20 or so is there one eye one horn flying purple people eater playing in the background?

[@kingofthemonsters3712]

I like it

[@seth2943]

RIP AEM-7

[@UnidenUBC]

8:35- 8:37 What used strobe lights on the locomotive ? Improving the visibility of composition ?

[@southeasternpennsylvaniara1588]

Their called ditch lights. Some railroads have their locomotives ditch lights blink when the horn is honked and some railroads don’t make their ditch lights blink.

Brilliant stuff. I never knew the States had high speed routes. Also what were the 3 diesel loco's for?

[@retroguy1976]

this is the best the us can do with highspeed just from boston to Washington d.c. Europe and asia beats us by a million miles lol

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

some of those AEM-7's were AEM-7DC not AC

[@trainutjob]

Miles Campbell I'm not worried about that but thanks for the nitpicking!

[@gabeomalley4045]

Why do they switch it to electric on the silver star

[@southeasternpennsylvaniara1588]

@gabe omalley they switch to electric because diesel locomotives aren’t allowed into NY Penn Station and most trains run electric on the NEC.
