    Recorded from 1245 to 1945. Track 2 is out of service, so all eastbound trains are routed on track 1. Additionally, for the first half of the video, emergency track repairs had track 4 out of service as well, resulting in westbound trains low-leveling. Enjoy the action =)

    The first time I ever went into NYC, I rode in from this station. I fell in love with broadway and theatre over the coming years, and anytime I went into the city, I departed from this station. I finally work in theatre professionally as of this year, and for some reason, UA-cam recommended this video to me. Thanks for the hard hitter, heaven knows my feelings weren’t ready for it.

    This is my home town. Lots of nostalgia from this station - went here a lot as a kid. Taking an Amtrak here later this week from MD, seeing footage of this station gets me excited!

    We need more high speed trains in West Coast. Good job East Coast.

    I must say I don t like the looks of Amtrak s new locomotives pretty strange looking certainly not nice looking like F 40s P 42s very nice looking sort of like motorhomes Amtrak has had other flashy looking locomotives as well

  • @falalala83

    It’s crazy how today Amtrak has sped their trains up by at least 50% of what it was at this time. The amtraks make some serious wind when they pass these days.

    It's awesome to feel the "speed impact" of these trains flying through the station at such an accelerated pace. This looks like a good place to spot and film Acela services getting into higher speed mode. The ACS-64 Amtrak electric locomotives really look cool when paired with the Amfleet stainless steel coaches. Even though there are decades between their year of contruction, the visual match is harmonious.

    Love the trains from USA 🇺🇸❣️ These trains are very fine and beautiful.

    We used to go down there in the 70's and 80's before they remodelled the station. I loved the fast trains rushing by on the near track. Shiny silver Amtraks...the smell of grease...the blue sparks on the catenary. I was always happy when a GG1 would come through or the Dinky would pull up behind the station.

    Amfleet's rugged design appeals to me.

    I used to take NJ Transit from Princeton Junction for almost two years. I then used to take 600 bus to plainsboro. Revisited all my memories watching this video.

    I've spent a couple weekends at Jersey avenue and it is quite impressive. Very nice action.

    Just went through Princeton junction on my way from Baltimore to NYC. Beautiful yet minimalistic station and scenery.

    Nice one :) was it Hamilton a couple weeks ago when track 2 was closed, was a blast of a day especially seeing Amtrak trains fly right by me!
