You found a great place to shoot trains. Love the street running. Any info about the stone bridge to Trenton. Lots of electrified Amtrak, SEPTA to Trenton. Any idea what is being tossed off the train at 5:35 in your movie? Thanks for a great job.

[boberttrain831]

@gjhgjh Thanks! Yes, it is a great place to film trains. I don't know to much about the stone bridge, but it crosses the Delaware River and is used by Amtrak, NJT and SEPTA. That was a flare at 5:35. The guy throws it so cars won't cross when the train is coming through. Thanks again!

@boberttrain831 Flares! How kewl ole fashion. A variant of the custom of the caboose crew leaving a flare. I would not run a tire over a flare.

Nice work , They Still allow Street running?

[boberttrain831]

@Nexis4Jersey Thanks, Corey! Yes, they do. Many places around the U.S. have MUCH more street running than here.

Nice video. What industries does this job serve?

[boberttrain831]

@Espee9180 Thanks! They serve an industry called Staley. Not exactly sure what they do. You might want to check with TraniacProductions

[murjax]

Awesome video. You'll have to go catch this again sometime.

[boberttrain831]

@murjax Thanks! I caught this once before in May. The engineer laid on the horn for 30 seconds for some idiot who was parked on the tracks. I'll definantely try to catch it more often as it's only about 10 minutes away from where I live

[PRRK4Lover]

cool action, looks like fun!

[boberttrain831]

@PRRK4Lover Yes, it was fun. Although waiting for an hour wasn't

[srr7312]

Nice video! So this is the run that YPMO-01 makes through Morrisville? I will be attempting to catch this train on Sunday, so I'm just curious.

[boberttrain831]

@srr7312 Thanks! Yes, it is. Idk, it's been coming later and later lately. Good luck!

[srr7312]

@boberttrain831 Ok cool, I'll be in Morrisville for most of the day so if it comes later it's no big deal for me lol.

[boberttrain831]

@srr7312 That's the way I felt. Not like I had anything better to do, lol

[GenesisSanctuary]

Great shots! I still can't believe how late the train was!

[boberttrain831]

@GenesisSanctuary Thanks! Yeah, I have no clue why it's starting to come so late. Glad we stuck around, though
