    Train Simulator: Northeast Regional 67 Engine Switch at Washington, DC's Union Station

    Today we model a simple routine done at Washington DC's Union Station daily. Amtrak runs many trains between the NEC and points in Virginia and bey...

    @murjax Actually, the wires originally ended at Ivy City Engine Terminal as well as the Alexandria Station. It has been quite a while since I've been that far south [1975], although while I was in the Regular Army, I used to ride through there regularly. It is too bad that someone took them down,...

    The subject of the video should be the train, NOT other camera operators, and any sounds made during the video should only be those normally made when a train passes, NOT induced by the camera operator by hand signals or other means. those actions distract from the scene being viewed.

    @RobloxVideo25

    ALL of Amtrak's Electric locomotives are authorized 105 MPH with non-Amfleet equipment within the corridor where the speed is authorized; 125 MPH with Amfleet equipment under the same circumstances and the same locomotives. Only the Acelas are sauthorized between 126 MPH and 150 ...

    No, the rule is that when a train arrives or passes through a passenger station, it must sound its horn at least once, along with sounding its bell, to alert anyone on the platform of its presence.

    First of all, please get a tripod and let the camera sit on it.

    Second of all, stop panning and zooming for no reason. Let the trains do all of the moving. If you let the engine come into frame when it stops, and then let the train move across the frame on its own, we will eventually see the com...

    ERA3733 ERA3733 commented:

    @bmxboy2468

    My first suggestion is to get a Tripod. My second one is to stop panning and zooming. Don't move the camera if you don't have to. Let the trains do most of the moving. If the train starts out out of frame, let it move into frame on its own, don't try to help.

    ERA3733 ERA3733 commented:

    @LAKINGSKOPITAR

    The simple answer is this:

    Simply put, the heat content of one gallon of fuel oil roughly equals that of 10 pounds of coal. At that rate, 3751, which carries 7,107 Gallons of Fuel Oil, would need to carry 71,070 Pounds, or 35.535 Tons of Coal, to produce the same amount of Steam.

    In general , your effort is appreciated, but I see the following things you need to improve your work:

    1. wedge yourself against something so that the camera stops weaving due to train vibration.

    2. stop playing with the Zoom. It distracts, sometimes at significant moments.

    3. Stop Panning. the ...

    @Bails992 To answer your specific question concerning NJ Transit, the specific reason for going away from MU cars has everything to do with flexibility.

    The other points are that the M-7s were cheaper to build because they were built for single voltage DC, while the M-8s were designed for Dual Voltage and Dual Frequency. Likewise, while the MTA has total control over design for New York equipment, Connecticut gets to put its Two Ce...
