Acela in the Snow

[6311435]

nice video

[jsmoothbx]

there goes your snow blower..felt sorry for the worker trying to clear the platform lol must have gotten another coating over what he cleaned up after that train passed

[zippyman818]

I think it's bucolic myself. I've never had trouble falling asleep on the old Amtrak stock, they shimmy side-to-side just enough to lull me off to Dreamland. Acela seating is too brightly lit and too open, that part I don't like about it.

[TheDylanJoyce]

Trains must like the snow huh...

[Joeyran1819]

And like that...*blows* it's gone.

[zippyman818]

@Joeyran1819 "Mr. Soze, meet your party at Gate P, pergatory."

[MrZkr123]

i love how so many people are commenting on here and its not even about the video talk about an ADD moment

[werksdesign]

I got cold just watching that. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

[railfanatic844]

haha, who needs a plow when you have an 150 mph bullet train?

[soshmed1]

The 'blobs' painted on the side of the Acela look totally stupid.

[zippyman818]

@soshmed1 The "blobs" are part of the thematic graphics package, part of the branding and marketing efforts for Acela.

Agreed, totally stupid. They are abstract and almost random with no brand cache of their own. Years later, you see them after a while and think, "Oh right those stupid blobs that Amtrak uses for the Acela, d'oh!"

[MegaLilkeith]

o my god where did it go lol

[Nascarking24]

LiberalNoob I think the train works as a snowplow with as fast as it's going

[casnick1]

What yellow line?? LOL

[train52000]

Awesome video. Especially towards the end.

[jimtrain18]

man that was great Matt

[cagepondroad]

Ghost train disappears...awesome video.

[Seekanddestroy1ful]

gost train

[lunatickerala]

Where is the fucking yellow line? Am I lunatic?

[donaldbee]

Acela 199.9 FM, hits and frost dusties!

[rajnikantsharma]

Do you they clear snow off the tracks everytime they are covered?

[LiberalNoob]

@rajnikantsharma All trains are required to have plows on them. If the snow is too deep for them do move, they get a huge snowplow to do the work.

[soshmed1]

@LiberalNoob Does AMTRAK or MBTA own any plows ??

[Amtrak1194]

@soshmed1 I know that Amtrak has MOW service which they use only in dyer situations, however being from Chicago I'm not familiar with MBTA operations.

[komachi275]

Wow, it looks like the ship on the oceanwave. Good vedio.

[winwinniewinfield]

great vid train just vanishes lol

[wasteom]

Love how it just dissapers in the snow in the last few seconds of the video

[rbjplay13]

Awesome video! And at 0:44 it looks like a ghost train!

[juvmol]

love the train videos on snow

this its one of my favorites favorites

[pete5668]

What yellow line? lol

[uniqdymand]

i love when trians blow snow thru the air :D

[vector6977]

[whatislife67]

[Thegamer5150]

[baileal]

[lilman45217]

[Mikosch2]

Avalanche approaching, please remain behind the yellow line ^^

Nice video, thx.

[cheejn]

most americans are stupid because of all the junkfood they eat and are known for, its been proven that junkfood makes you stupid!!

[mrrayco]

Most People that aren't Americans are Stupid because they are not Americans!!!........ I mad as much sense as you did , You little Shit....... LOL

[cheejn]

I was actually just kidding there, i really dont have anything against anyone, dear friend. besides, there's actually no such thing as an 'american' for your all immigrants at first, unless you're an amerindian then you are a real american. but you do have to agree, the average american cant show the us on a map, type in "anothe white woman converts to islam' then you'll see (ps donnow why the video is called as such,bu it doesnt actualy have something to do with islam

[peteboy1113]

cool vid. but baby its cold out there. you should put dean martins song to this vid. but babys its cold out there.

[profudebio]

[dornaimobiliare]

[cocoprego]

nice video

[mansees]

Very unique vid!!!

[slumdogindia]

How do you know?There is no use knowing what you are understanding.You must know the Understanding itself.Understand the Understander, which is more beneficial to you than to know what is being understood by the understanding as an external object. Now I understand that there is a tree in front of me; I can see it. But, that is not enough for me; I must know how it is that the understanding is able to understand that there is a tree in front of me. Who understands the understanding?

[slumdogindia]

Where is the yellow line in the snow? Is the announcer drunk or on drugs? Now I am convinced Americans are retards. Why do Americans pop up depression pills? Are they insane? How can pills remove misery? Have you seen your sadness or misery? Have you ever seen the mind? When will Americans realize that it was fucking Cheney who blasted the twin towers? Why do Americans jump in a heated room in bikinis like monkeys and think that is Yoga?

[TheDoctor342]

Because it keeps nutjobs like you occupied.

[humanrascals]

But you are also a fucking ignorant human doing some 9-5 slave job to pay your bills. Are you living just to pay your credit cards, insurance and bills? Why are you living like pigs and asses who are also eating shitting fucking and sleeping like you? For doing those activities, you don't need any Ivy league diplomas and degrees human moron. Have you forgotten to think? What is a thought?

[iamthe404]

uh, yet another brainwashed dumbass who thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy, get a life

[humanrascals]

But what is life?

[TheDoctor342]

Something you lack, desperately.

[humanrascals]

Did you know death is hissing always the ass of you and me? Will you be alive tomorrow? Why don't you prepare now instead of crying later ignorant human? Why are you running after holes for sense gratification? Why are you living like pigs and hogs smelling your fucking steak shit everyday? Are you not ashamed? How many pounds of shit you wasted? Did you get the stimulus money? Why don't you move to Mexico depressed people of God bless America? Popping up depression pills. Fucking Hilarious

[iamthe404]

instead of overthinking everything and being negative just be positive and live your life and that is a really corny question, btw

[humanrascals]

Agreed but ignorance is not an excuse.When the cop pulls you over and even if you beg and say sorry,he still hands you a tkt.I am trapped in so many prisons like earth,physical,subtle, casual.I am a slave to some unknown forces.I cannot fly and be free.I am materially contaminated.I am living among pathetic beings called humans who behave worse than animals.Humans are spitting venom and hatred.All are frustrated, restless, unhappy, going insane and popping up depression pills and drugs.Help me

[iamthe404]

none do such a thing, by typing you are using rational thought

[humanrascals]

The thought that something is excluded from the thought that something is being concentrated upon is also a thought. Exclusion of thought of object from thought on which the concentration is carried on is not possible because the thought that something is excluded persists,while the intention is not to think of the excluded object.The idea of exclusion is futile, because to exclude another thing from one thing,the mind that excludes should be present in that object also which is excluded.

[musthavejava]

humanrascals...Excuse me, but what the hell do any of your comments here have to do with a fast moving train whipping up snow on a cold, wintry day??!?? For God's sake, STFU and go vent your nonsense elsewhere!

[MrPibb71]

you were the kid who no one talked to in high school right?

[humanrascals]

Could you stop smelling your fucking shit everyday?Are you not ashamed to live like pigs eating, shitting, fucking and sleeping? Doing some slave 9-5 job to get some paltry job. Even then you poor thing can't afford a Ferrari. You already spent 9 fucking months amidst blood, mucus, filth and came out crying from a bleeding pussy with your big butt head protruding out like a roller coaster ride. Death strikes at the least expected moment dear deluded child. Prepare.Will you be alive next week?

[humanrascals]

I can see you are so restless, sad, confused and frustrated? Why dear child? Into drugs? Did you lose your job too? Working on minimum wages? Not enough money to pay your bills and insurance? Did you evade taxes? Doing 2 jobs? Could not afford college? For God's sake? There is no fucking God sitting behind those clouds and watching you take a dump. Could you please stop living like pigs eating, fucking, shitting and sleeping everyday? Are you eating to smell your steak shit everyday? Logic?

[EverywhereWest]

For not having a snowplow, it looks like it does okay!! 5*****

[trainiac3]

did swow get one your face?

[manfredi3692]

great!

[idiotman76]

Nice magic trick, now you see and now its gone, the Acela isnt a failure otherwise it wouldnt be runing

[SimmeringGrazPauker]

Great Video, cool Train :)

[weatherscience]

The effect of speed on snowfall!.

[harold1127]

Wow that thing plowed right through the snow.

[indianrailways]

holy cow fuck

[DavesTrains]

wow, that was cool!

[rangelso]

did the train still make it after the end of the video ?

[CommuterColin0906]

I have a video just like this!

[kokansenhikari]

Acela is a big failure. Because Amtrak used French technology.

[GeneralHassan]

Why? French Technology? I bet you have never been to France and used the TGV?!?

[xTrAIns5x]

The pantograph on the back of the acela was down

[tfftfftff86]

These trains only need to connect one of the power cars to the overhead line.  What you see is absolutely normal.

[ElmerFudd16]

I just re-found this yesterday. One of the better train videos I remember seeing.

[wiseassgamer]

Those people got sprayed....

[gp40mc]

That would be anoying if you were in the coaches and were trying to lokk out the window.

[Railfan2672]

Nice one. one that train passed, It gave you a little snow storm. LOL 5****** faved

[bubba2781]

Awesome ! 5*

[indianrailways]

OMG where is the yellow line in the snow ?

[rocker78able]

@indianrailways watch someone fall since the yellow line cant be seen. maybe, they will get run over buy that train...

[ChainChomp2]

I can just imagine Kingston...I've never been to the Northeast Corridor before so I'm not sure if it even snows in Kingston or if Acelas are allowed or able to hit 150 in the snow...AN AMAZING video though! Very cold xD! I'd give it honors if I could...

[ChainChomp2]

I did some YouTube research on Mansfield on how fast they go and I'm laughing at myself right now...do trains always get delayed when they have to power through snow like this?

[FullMentalPanic]

Whenever there's severe rain or snow in the Tejon Pass here in California, the I-5 invariably shuts down to all road traffic, causing massive delays to passengers and cargo alike. If the route had a good rail alternative, it could run regardless of weather. CALIFORNIANS, WE NEED AN ACELA RIGHT HERE IN THE GOLDEN STATE! PUT YOUR VOTE TO GOOD USE IN NOVEMBER!

[TrainzMaster3000]

talk about ghost train

[QueensBuses]

I love Acela, and that snow was amazing

[musthavejava]

AWESOME!!! OMG, she was beautiful! Excellent job in capturing everything on film (sorry you were cold though)!

[danielday36]

An Acela Blizzard!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

wow amazing catch nice horn on it that really screwed Acela didnt it? when that end apsted its like a ghost train!

[kenjr29mfl]

Awesome 5*****

[TrainiacProductions]

That was fantastic!

[stuntedcards]

that was me shoveling snow then i got fired cause you were filming

[TrainiacProductions]

?????

[josephkennith]

that was cool

[CSXkid22]

wow that was awesome

[sammydenyc]

Winter is my favorite season. This is one reason why. Trains blasting through snow! There's nothing like snow!

[ERIELACKU34CH]

that was fantastic!

[fafnir242]

Best...video...ever...lol  Seriously, this is great. I agree with stuartmoss; tea, hot chocolate, coffee, whatever.lol

[tapper2371]

2 words... HOLY CRAP

[stuartmoss]

Good dramatic stuff - now go and have a hot cup of tea!

[markjwil]

Sweet!

[Hyperen]

What he said!

[Alib4]

nice vid :)

[born2bewild100]

they should plow the tracks. it looks dangerous.

[KawasakiPlant]

wow

[HotGirlDater475]

An Acela Express in the snow! Love it!

[Jeff4098]

Nice Video. The poster AcelaNEC is on drugs. The engineer on train 2158 is Doug out of the Boston crewbase and on his relief days it is Larry or Bobby. Also the Ethan Allen is zone 3 work and the acela is zone 1 or 2 and you cant work both.NIce try but it is a small world. As we havent had any snow in Rhode Island yet I guess the snow storm was a dream too. Dream on AcelaNEC maybe someday you can "OPERATE" too.

[CBass1307]

The acela does have a small snowplow underneath the nose.

[CBass1307]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is it?

[mjsax2390]

Gorgeous!

[pahogger]

Awesome job! This is a great video. I love seeing trains in the snow. Well done!

[AcelaNEC]

I did northbound Acela Run today where most of Rhode Island is under Snow. Great Video i'm glad someone caught this. Look out for Acelas, 2158, 2167 Engines 2000-2002 typically those are my trains.

[Jeff4098]

In your dreams, The engineer "operator" as you put it Is named Doug and the crew base Is Boston and on his reliefdays the engineers are Larry & Bobby on 2158, and also the Ethan Allen train is zone 3 work and Acelas are zone 1 & 2.. So dream on...................

[alx2925]

Doesnt doug start out on 2151 from Boston?

[hhp8]

Woooh!!!

[murjax]

That was just amazing.

[alx2925]

This is going to get a top rating here! Best acela video ive seen on youtube!!
