Amtrak Train 168 departs east from New York-Penn

[TheNjdevils11]

two things is it ok to still railfan in new york and why was the regional using two aem7s

[mcrrocks80]

omg that train looks so old school ^^

Nothing wrong with e-bells, people just have different tastes. Regular bells get more attention for me than e-bells. Hearing the clanging as the gates come down at a crossing or the clang as an older GEVO loco passes sounds a lot more pleasing and is more noticeable than the monotone e-bells. Just my opinion. Nothing wrong with them, I could survive, but they would get old after awhile.

[scarlettschmeeda]

it reminds me the sound of the tri rail bell

[techphy100]

if im not mistaken,that conductor was looking for you and didnt even see you, he looked right under you.

[TuneRVisioN510]

Nice vid, ain't nothing wrong with the bells IMO.

[jetset59]

Stop dissing the electronic bells

[widerangevideos]

Fantastic, I never got to see any of these only LIRRs, or Subway if that is the name of it.

[trainzrok]

Hey that bell is not crappy

[amtraksonicfan171]

He's Right ya know that bell is in perfect shape

[mugshotesp]

I've heard worse than that

[lexmarks567]

whats rare is the 2 aem-7 locos pulling the train

[FL92002]

or, more specifically, the fact that they are numbered 925 and 924 respectively.

[vyrgo84]

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

@vyrgo84 stobes keep birds away.

[TallNBlack]

Wow....someone managed to railfan in NY Penn Station....thats pretty rare.

[trainapproaching]

i had always heard that picture taking in Penn Station trackside was a no-no

[murjax]

Unless that's the train he got off of.

[trainapproaching]

No trouble from Am-police?

[newflyer500]

What do you mean. You can make videos. Tourist traveling take pictures and make videos.

[murjax]

Railfans get a hard time about recording trains though due to 9/11 paranoia. Police find them suspicious and think they might be undercover terrorists finding out info on about the train and track. I find that rather stupid though. I don't see what good hijacking trains would do. You can't really do anything with them. Particluarly on the NEC where you can simply cut power. Either way, photography of anything is perfectly legal unless otherwise posted.

[newflyer500]

I agree that is what I was trying to say. Anyway a terrorist trying to hijack a train is impossible. But what the New York City subways going to 1 person train operation is rediculous and dangerous. If that one guy has a heart attack, or the door gets shoved in. A subway train is aimless and virtually hijaked. Thank God Republican policy is no longer running that.

At the NJT platforms, they have warning signs, and they're trying to keep unknowns out of the big terminals. Newark Penn is a little better.

[PossessedDonutz]

[RCdash9]
