Hi everybody the forth time! Amtrak must see this vedio! People have to speak up and let Amtrak know that if they want a train to travel at that high rate of speed, they have to make a lot of serious adjustments! Those commuters are in a death trap if not careful of their sorroundings! Somebody may not be all there, not paying attention or handycaped can be minced meet if they make a fatal mistake! We have to care for each other in that situation! It will keep us from making the headlines!
Hi everybody the third time! There's a lot of danger that I see on this vedio. As I watched this vedio, the platforms are very narrow for multitudes of people to wait for the train. People should wait at an enclosed (if one is available) waiting area or parking lot to be on the safe side. When snow is present, it is more dangerous without it. The turbance of a passing train at a high rate of speed can airborne snow and causes temporary blindness, frostbite, and off-balanceness. So be careful!
Hi everybody again! As I watched this vedio, I timed it from beginning to end. At 5 seconds, the loudspeaker anounnced: "Sand back. Train approaching." At 12 seconds, the airhorn can be heard from train. At 15 seconds, headlights from the train can be sean. At 24 seconds, train reaches the front of platform. At 30 seconds, train completly leaves the end of platform. All of this happen within 25 seconds! If a person dares to cross the tracks assuming that it's their train, the're minced meet!
Hi everybody! I believe that this is best vedio about high-speed trains that I saw! The person that vedio this deserves an award! Amtrak's discovered a great invention: The Acela which can top it's speed up to 150 mph! It's all right to compete against other countries, but Amtrak has to draw the line as they improve the rail system, they have to take things into consideration such as: not improving the rail system dilegently enough will danger the lives of people. Something to think about.

this explanes how safe that high speed trains are in winter storms, you don't have to slowdown like you do on icy highways and bridge, you don't have to chain the wheels, you don't have to stop and pull over when visibility is poor. and you don't need to worry about icy roads on railroads. but you got to plou snows off the tracks bafore running trains on tracks before the trips otherwise the train would get stuck on deep stows.
@cagepondroad Typically you get the verbal warning from the loud speaker that a train is coming. I am sure that the engineer seeing that there were mobs of people waiting for another train decided it was prudent to give them ample warning to back away. As far as the deaf and the blind passengers waiting for the train? You got me there friend. I can only hope they would have someone else with them to assist them rather thatn push them in to the on coming train. My name is Mark by the way.
The Chinese are finding that routine operating speeds above 220 MPH require exponential increases in horsepower to overcome wind resistance; not drag....wind resistance. That's the wedge of air the sloped nose is trying to overcome. It's a combination of ground level barometric pressure, angle of attack and trubulence under that train that creates a force similar to applying dynamic brakes at full speed. Good luck to the Aussies on overcoming that.
More on JAZZ and the rails: The great Duke Ellington, and others did movie shorts and /or wrote tunes (full-fledged compositions) in the 30s and 40s featuring slick arrangements with railroad themes based on and filmed aboard trains. These were forerunners of the music-video genre which had resurgence in the 80s with the advent of cable, MTV, the VHS, and shortly later CDs/DVDs. African Americans and the rails? Try Pullman Porters. Well. Necessity IS truly 'the mother of invention'.
What man can do! I stumbled into this while undertaking a massive, seemingly impossible task and it inspired me to "PRESS ON". I have had a thing for trains since a kid. I used to beg my dad after Sunday church to take me to see trains passing through the small town of Milford, Va. when visiting at my Grandma's country home. This was at a time when trains were dying as a priority in-lieu of the airplane. Funny how it took 50 years to get the ULTIMATE 'TRANE' rush ON STEROIDS! Thanks again!!!
WOWWW! SUPER VID! The horn, the bright light, and the SPEEEED through the snow literally ANIMATED the effect of the train that would be normally unseen on a clear day! The ominous, overcast sky the whole thing is FABULOUS! It reminds me of the music of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers playing ' Art's Revelation' in'59 at The Jazz Corner of the World, Birdland in NYC on Blue Note; or maybe John Coltrane/TRAIN! Would have loved to have had that tune on an IPOD on board. GRACE, POWER, BEAUTY! THANKS !
You think this is fast? Just wait to you see what Australia is Rolling out on our 190 billion project for our HSR-Link to brisbane & Melbourne. The train they say was called the A-HSV & also said that this train maybe traveling about 400km/h - 450km/h. Or in Miles for people who dont under stand is: 249MPH - 280MPH. For our A-HSV when its in service it will be know to be the 3rd fastest train on Earth!! :)
LOLZ!! I feel SO sorry for the people on the that platform, so close to a speeding train, in the snow, in freezing temps. And now have to deal with a blistering cold wind from amtrak.
To me if your going to have trains going 150 mph, they should install hi-level platforms regardless, that way the station is ADA accessible and snow doesn't hit people in the face.
@Invasor - these same tracks are used for the Acela Express, the Northeast Regional and the MBTA commuter train. The trains are schedules so that the fastest go first (the Acela) followed by the commuter train. The people you see are waiting for the commuter trains. @Vexing - yes agree, we've too much political back and forth to fully support a cohesive high speed rail. It's too bad, we are much too dependent upon automobiles which mostly sit in traffic jams
@Rocketboy1950 Yes, you're right, but being so close to the train, one false step and you are gone. And now the're wet and cold. We don't have so narrow platforms in europe.
Could u imagine urself as a passenger waiting for the football train, and that flys by as ur standing there freezing. That my friend looked really cold
@CommuterColin0906 Okay, Thank you. I was curious about that. I've seen a lot of videos of them blowing their horns, and some where they don't. I wasn't sure if some stations did, or if they do it for some reason...or enjoyment. :P
you call that fast lol, the XPT in Australia well is one of our high speed trains, also is the oldest Diesel Ecpress train in NSW , well try this out for size, American modern Acela Electric Express Train vs Our XPT Diesel Express Train.. Note the XPT by CountryLink is a very old train but its still fast for a Diesel.. Check it out. on youtube ::
colin is the train to foxboro, all year long, or only for the games and music shows. also is this an old freight line, that ties back into the tracks from franklin to and from south sta.
I am from Northeast and now live in the South. These people down here wouldn't know an express train if it hit them over the head.
They just don't get it. Rail transportation is the greatest alternative to being treated like cattle by the airlines. I guess people love to be punished.
If a train travels 150 miles an hour you can go from Atlanta to New York City (allowing for stops) in about 6.5 hours. No stops would be 5.87 hours.
@BoomerNavy70 I hear ya, I have family in the South and whenever they come up here they're amazed about the public transportation to and from the city. Took them to GCT on Metro North's NHV Line they thought that was fast. SO then we had to go to Boston on the Acela, blew their minds. They'd move here if it wasn't so cold, but then I tell them to man the f**k up.
@CommuterColin0906 that is SWEET man wow I love getting up there to photograph those what a rush at that speed it beats the hell out of our slow moving ones down here in Texas ..I have been in the cab of one of these before while in the Boston Amtrak yard they are cool looking inside very spaceage looking cockpit like an aircraft and the area behind the cab where all the electrical equiptment is a very strange and fascinating place
It's too bad they can't have a four track, express on the middle two, locals on the outside configuration. The outer tracks would be served by platforms at car floor height at stations. That set-up would be convenient and safe.

That's not a train, that's a bullet. A derailment there could kill a couple hundred.

Is this thing capable of doing its top speed no matter how much snow is on the ground?

That is one of the best...lol.
I am from Northeast and now live in the South. These people down here wouldn't know an express train if it hit them over the head.
They just don't get it. Rail transportation is the greatest alternative to being treated like cattle by the airlines. I guess people love to be punished.
If a train travels 150 miles an hour you can go from Atlanta to New York City (allowing for stops) in about 6.5 hours. No stops would be 5.87 hours.

@BoomerNavy70 I hear ya, I have family in the South and whenever they come up here they're amazed about the public transportation to and from the city. Took them to GCT on Metro North's NHV Line they thought that was fast. SO then we had to go to Boston on the Acela, blew their minds. They'd move here if it wasn't so cold, but then I tell them to man the f**k up.

What you dont realise is that the train had its brakes locked up trying to stop since the last city.

@Barrettm95 Why would the train stop its supposed to fly thru at 150MPH like that
CommuterColin0906 2 years ago
@CommuterColin0906 that is SWEET man wow I love getting up there to photograph those what a rush at that speed it beats the hell out of our slow moving ones down here in Texas ..I have been in the cab of one of these before while in the Boston Amtrak yard they are cool looking inside very spaceage looking cockpit like an aircraft and the area behind the cab where all the electrical equiptment is a very strange and fascinating place

It's too bad they can't have a four track, express on the middle two, locals on the outside configuration. The outer tracks would be served by platforms at car floor height at stations. That set-up would be convenient and safe.
