Wow arrows were very heavily used back then huh I never knew
Lots of history in this footage, Broadway limited with 950 when it got its Forever consist beginning May 1987
Wow I forgot about those old style pantographs on the Arrow II’s and before they had the ditch lights. The Amtrak “toasters” were practically new at that time
Princeton junction as I remembered it did a lot of commuting from this area in the 80's
I know that the freight trains was running late at night at that time on the northeast corridor. It was awesome seeing alot of passenger traffic. With the freight trains not seen, this way they couldn't interfere with the passenger traffic.
That was fun. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Dang, they haven’t even put concrete ties on tracks 3 or 4
That all began in 2003
Soo was this before the NJT comet cars came out or did they just use ARROW3s that day?
The comet cars were newer around that time but were mostly found on the diesel hauled lines or on the North Jersey Coast line with the E60’s and would change engines to Diesel at South Amboy. Once the ALP44 engines arrived, more comet coaches were ordered.
What was Amtrak’s top speed on the NEC back then, they look like they’re going pretty slow
125mph for metroliners
110mph for everything else.
Its fucking hilarious that It was high level then they tore down the high level platforms and made it low level and then rebuilt it to be highlevel
Nice video!
Was that the amtrak of 87?!
When were the platforms for Princeton Junction elevated?
