- This video actually turned out pretty good because of the bright sun, and the fact that the sun was behind the train.  This is the most detailed ride I have done on the Doylestown Line.  All interlockings, railroad crossings, and many overhead/undergrade bridges are identified with graphics in addition to narration. This is undoubtedly my favorite Septa Regional Rail line. (at 12:23 that was the former Logan station site-not Tabor)

SEPTA assistant conductor here!! Really appreciate these detailed videos cause they help with learning interlocks ect for when we go into our promotion class
Glad to be of service. I would have preferred a cleaner window, but considering the detail you’re getting with this, I think that can be overlooked.
Used to ride this line (R5) just about every day 1992-1994, again 1998-1999. Back then it was paper ticket, conductor came through to punch it with odd shapes, walk from car to car calling out the stops. All the names still ring true but the landscape is almost unrecognizable. Thanks for the ride!
Hi gm how are you
I love!!! Your viedo
I live in Trinidad was living New York
And used to ride metro north
Absolutely awesome video sir
Many fond memories of riding this line. Thanks Tim for a nice ride👌💚
Excellent capture! This engineer certainly uses the K3LA horn to it's full potential! I hear these Silverliners come through Ambler all the time, and it's pretty easy to tell who's operating by how they blow the horn.
Amtrak does a much better job. Ride Amtrak a couple times a week. You can notice the difference.
@@hornshowrailfan2554 Yeah, a lot of the engineers on SEPTA really don't care about doing a perfect crossing sequence. There is one engineer on SEPTA that I've heard that literally blows through playing with the horn. It's hilarious to watch!
Hello Tim from Orlando been watching Brightline run testing they really have been running a lot of trains the last couple of days service from Orlando to Miami starts the 22nd. Fly eagles fly. Nice to see you back in Philadelphia watching this video Saturday night on my TV
In RDG days, North Wales had two more crossings! There were crossings at 4th St. as well as Dickerson Rd. (I used to live on 4th St.)
OMG. I always miss it when you come down here. Next time you come il take you to a great hoagie spot and you can ride the double-end K Cars to get there.
Even though im a Philly native i lived right off the LIRR mainline in Carle Place. So glad they got that 3rd track in.
Whenever I come down there I never know what I’m going to do or where I’m going to go. The powers that be dictate my activities.
Pennsylvania is one of my favorite states to visit especially in the Fall
Ah yes, another SL V with a dirty window. They REALLY need to power wash those trains😮
Gotta take what I can get. I try to use the sun to my advantage
@@3985uprr Exactly Tim👍
@@zazaranger5There will be more the rest of the year
Nice video 👋
Cool ride😊
Really nice run! And always enjoy your narration too.
Without narration or graphics, they are mindless. Can’t tolerate that.
Keep them coming!!!
Pulling into North Broad, I noticed what appears to be a track, off the mainline to the right, with a piece of M-o-W equipment sitting on it. Behind it I briefly glimpsed what looked to be a brick (former? ) carbarn?
Not sure
Lansdale crossing shanty there's still the concrete blocks with the steel I beams there at main street
Man the weeds on the tracks are almost as bad as the MTA A train out to the Rockaways
Flashing yellow over red means medium approach and thanks for the videos I learned a lot from you every chance I get the watch please keep doing what you do
Per an employee that signal has a special instruction which says that it is an approach.
The resolution will improve give it some time
At 30:47 is the site of the old Camp Hill station. Just beyond that, a terrible head-on wreck happened in 1856.
The Pushpulls at glenside are the express to wayne and loc to Thorndale
Saw it later at Suburban
At 39:20, what you have labeled as Gwynedd Pk. is actually Plymouth Rd. I loved using that road as part of a shortcut between North Wales and Plymouth Meeting.
Ha. That was info I was given about that crossing.
You should do a video on the Norristown High Speed Line. If you do it soon they are single tracking and that would be neat to show
Great video
Very interesting Tim, but those trains go about as fast as molasses going up a hill in January!
Well, when I ride on these, I’m not in any hurry. Your response if I had a dollar for every one similar, I could fly first class to Australia.
Denver’s RTD use the same Silverliners
Interiors are not the same. No railfan window.
Gwynedd Cut was originally a tunnel. It was daylighted when the RDG electrified. There's another tunnel beyond Lansdale on the Bethlehem Branch not far past Perkasie station, which still stands.
If anyone ever needs to do voice overs in Jerry Orbach's voice, you have a job.
People have said that
@@3985uprr Wow, now come to think of it, I do hear Jerry Orbach
Unlike most New Yorkers, Tim's accent is very relaxing and soothing.
@@OldsVistaCruiser but Jerry Orbach had a New York accent. He was about as New York as you can get.
What does the flashing green mean? Does it mean follow cab signals?
Yes.
@@3985uprr Thank you for the information.
Are the women train operators on septa go fast , moderate or slow iyo?
What does flashing over rd signal mean?
Flashing green over red is proceed at cab signal speed.
I was wondering was this an all women crew operating the train?
