Ha u passed my future house at one point during the video. I live there now and where u stopped at the end of the video is now a septa station. they also got rid of the diesel and use regular silver commuter cars.
It is an RL1 built by Republic Locomotive. They only made two and SEPTA bought both. It has not been very successful even after being rebuilt. In fact, they had one on the wire train Friday and it died. They had to send the other one up to rescue it, and wound up using both on the train for the rest of the day (I got both video and stills).

Wow if only SEPTA got a clue and realized that running diesel engines like every other commuter railroad would help them expand. SEPTA is pathetic.

Well it was obviously more interesting than the rest of your miserable, empty life as you took the time to watch it, and then comment on it too.
Loser :D

I guess you didn't try to cross the tracks right in front of the train, like they do in action movies! Nice video!
