[Danspacediver]

Lol Horse Carriage crossing high speed train tracks. Silly Amish, its the 21st century.

[AndrewC437]

I'm hitting that spot in about 10 minutes.. At Bird-in-Hand restaurant... Yummy!!

[trainsgg1]

Irishtown Road - my favorite spot on the Keystone Corridor!

[ripwtc91101]

great video i think i know what i'll be doing when i get my vacation time for the year... gotta get back to doin this like i used to with my dad when i was a kid

[tormax79]

good video, kinda funny seeing a house and buggy going across the tracks as a high-speed train comes screaming down the tracks.

[ScoopGerman]

He only Honk because he thinks he become cool. ;)

[Tom60062]

My favorite part was when the trains went by.

[shininghappyperson7]

hahahaaha forget chasing any of those trains

[nclemens]

What kind of coaches are on the first train? I'd like to get thier length, then you can calculate the speed of the train with a stopwatch.

[troy12n]

what the hell, is that directional running double track? Signal bridge has signals only on one track in each direction

[bobinchesco]

@troy12n This video was uploaded over a year ago. Amtrak has since converted the hand operated crossovers at Leaman, east of here, to a remote controlled interlocking. Rule 562 signalling is in effect between Leaman and Conestoga. I bet if you go to this location today you will see new CPLs, distant signal to Leaman.

[cagepondroad]

Really like the sunset clip.

[Draco677]

@cagepondroad same!!

[ma7799]

They use Metroliner cab control cars with the AEM7's???

[THEFINALHAZARD]

That amish guy was probobly round the Lancaster area. Looks like it.

[killerbees177]

Horse Drawn Buggy? Amish Territory? Great vid dont be hard on yourself

[5521Brite]

Please tell us the make and model of camera you used to film this. Thanks!

[o00o00ozy]

Canon HG20. I had just gotten the camera when I taped this video... this video, to my standards, is awful. It was shot in a low shutter speed, 1/60 I believe, and before I knew how to change it. Next time I return, I'll shoot in 1/2000, the shot will be crystal clear!

[Lackawanna565]

I think it looks great. Best keystone video I seen on here.

[amtrak939]

excellent video, I know these crossings are seeing their last days, does anyone know how much longer they'll be in service?

[awz121]

I think they actually began to rip the first of three out. they should be done by like 2011.

[amtrak939]

wow, well i definitely plan on making a stop at one of them this summer before they finish

[o00o00ozy]

Yeah, that was amazing.

[theup3985]

Awesome! I'm really surprised that they don't require four-quadrant crossing gates on this corridor, given that the track speed is over 80 mph. That crossing didn't even have bells. New high speed rail corridors in the U.S. could not get away with that kind of crossing signal setup.

[trainutjob]

Great filming, BTW I caught the CSX OCS train!

[o00o00ozy]

No duh, I only saw it once. Your working on my nerves, son.

[o00o00ozy]

Yeah they both went through at 17:48, as I state.

[o00o00ozy]

I didn't.

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

Heres 3 things that I loved about thisvideo.

1. EVERYTHING!

2. The Amish

3. The Last shot of the Cabcar going over the crossing at sunset!

Amazing video!!!

5*'s. Faved. & Subbed!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Dang! Now you gotta see that 120 zone that dumbuff seen!

[EverywhereWest]

Whoa that's some great action! Love the cab cars! 5*****

[FD214]

Been there many of times, Great spot. Just have to watch out - no bell on the Grade Xing and those Amtrak's sneak up on you quick

[NSHorseheadSD70]

Very nice man.

[pahogger]

[CSX6000]

[Tracksider216]

Hey Eric. Is that an Amish buggy at 0:15 ???

[o00o00ozy]

Yes.

[russell379x]
