This station was already nice, whats up with all of the construction??? are they building new, longer platforms?? I drove by last weekend and was surprised at all of the brush removed adjacent to Rt.27, almost crashed looking at an Acela!!!!!

There's been construction for a couple of years now. They're reworking the other side of the platform.

what time did the NJT ACES passed metropark station

[RCdash9]

I'd say it was around 12:30, quarter to 1.

Awesome Vid Man!!! I love how that curve makes the trains look coming around the corner into the station. And when that aces train came past, it sounded so friggin cool!!! 5*!

Thanks. NJT started the service up about a month ago. I didn't expect to get a shot of it. Got too lucky there.

nice you caught the NJT ACES train.

Thanks. I thought up of the old wedding rhyme for the train. Its something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. The old things are the locomotives, the new thing is the service, the borrowed thing is the set of coaches, and the blue thing is part of the colors on the coaches.

Hi Great video. Theres a mistake. Train number 4 cant be Amtrak 164 because the train is heading west and wb trains have odd numbers....

[RCdash9]

Oh ok. The annoucement system there was scratchy. I'll remember that from now on.

[RCdash9]
