Why are the SB Amtraks going so slow? Did they just leave Penn or something?

[treesandcoffee]

They are going slow because there is only one available SB track and this is much farther north than Penn.

[sportsmovieman]

Right, soon the trackage splits.

I love how the acela whistles as it goes through the station

0:56 looks similar to the asshat who tried telling me I couldn't tshoot video / take pictures of trains - despite having MTA police memos stating otherwise.

[treesandcoffee]

Well, the guy in yellow at 0:59 asked me what I was doing with my camera and gave me suspicious looks, but didn't throw me out.

So that SLE GP40 is still in use, even with the P40 purchases...

[treesandcoffee]

Oh yes. There are still lots of GP40s in use, mostly on rush hour trains.

It's really great seeing American trains - it seems that people aren't very interested in passenger trains over there in comparison to other countries. Keep up the good work! =)

[treesandcoffee]

Thanks!

[Railfan108]

WOW, this is just amtraking wasting power

[treesandcoffee]

Yup.

[Railfan108]

[treesandcoffee]

Wow, what's the deal with all of these doubleheaders?

[Railfan108]

oh cool, me MArc(dash9CW) and connor rangers1030 and gabe ucvgabe were in New brunswick on the same day, we should have swapped phone numbers, that way we could have told each other what was comng

[treesandcoffee]

True, that would be cool. Did you see the doubleheader?

[Train538]

Nice horn action! 5 stars!!!!! Too bad you took this after my school hours because we get out at 2:50PM.

[treesandcoffee]

Yeah, I wanted to catch rush hour so I could get more trains.

[Train538]

Oh ok.

[Railfan108]
