Amtrak's Busiest Day of the Year!- November 27, 2011

[RailfanningRulez]

They all gave almost exactly the same horn lol

[cbattz]

why did they borrow the arrow set i feel like those are literally the worse on the nec

[ghostengineer]

Nice video......I remember coming thru last year and giving you a horn show when I ran the Arrows.

[msmith624]

All trains are going at or about 90 mph because of the bridge up ahead.

[CSX6000]

Nice one Nick!

[CoasterFan2105]

The busiest day of the year is typically the Wednesday before thanksgiving, the 23rd of November.

[UltimateRailfanner]

@CoasterFan2105 its either Sunday or Wednesday, i only found out about this last year, and heard it was Sunday so i just went along with it lol

[CoasterFan2105]

@UltimateRailfanner lol.By the way, I really like your intro.

[UltimateRailfanner]

@CoasterFan2105 thanks lol

Great Stuff. and if you can answer this, do you know why that NJT MU was in Maryland. I live in New Jersey, so i'm just asking.

[ecoRfan]

@thetrainguy1 It was being borrowed by Amtrak to run extra service.

[msmith624]

MU's and MARC trains leased by Amtrak during Thanksgiving to supplement holiday service.

Awesome video, Nick! I wish I could have made it out there today!

[njtcoastline]

why are there njt arrow 3's down there, isnt perryville in MD?

[UltimateRailfanner]

@njtcoastline Amtrak borrowed them for this day.

[njtcoastline]

@UltimateRailfanner O! I see

[MrZkr123]

@njtcoastline you would think by now they'd use the ALP 46 and bi-levels

[njtcoastline]

@MrZkr123 maybe not enough clearance above catenary? 

[ecoRfan]

Kind of a funny note. I saw Acela 2026 (at 7:21) nearly an hour AFTER the 2nd NJT MU set (at 7:32) up here, it appears the bullet train overtook the slowpoke NJT set somewhere, maybe because NJT arrows are limited to 80 mph top speed.

[msmith624]

Arrows restricted to 85 mph.

[ghostengineer]

@msmith624 Actually Arrows are restricted to 80. If an engineer is going 85 , they will find themselves in deep dog doodoo....

[msmith624]

Thanks ghost, always knew you'd come through in the clutch.

[tpe18509]

Awesome video man!! Liked and Faved!!

[UltimateRailfanner]

@tpe18509 thanks, i appreciate it!

[amtrak939]

oh and do you know what train had the P42 leading? 

[UltimateRailfanner]

@amtrak939 The train was past me at 2:21pm today. I'm guessing this train arrived in Baltimore around 2:45. The only train that arrived in Baltimore at 2:45 was Regional 157(27).

[AMTRAKAEM7FAN1991]

@amtrak939 157

[amtrak939]

[GulfWindProductions]
