Northeast Regional 174 departed Union Station 10 minutes late this Friday morning due to a delay in moving the equipment from Ivy City yard. The other tracks on my left were filled with MARC equipment, probably from rush hour trains that had come in throughout the morning. Not seen on my right was an Acela Express set and Beech Grove car 10001. Our lead locomotive this morning was AEM-7 947 with the best horn on the NEC. Our engineer on this train was pretty awesome too. He blew full blasts of the horn every time we met another train. It doesn't get much better than this ride right here, I had lots of fun riding this train. Anyway enjoy the video!

  • Some Northeast Regionals have 2 Cafe Cars. I often wonder it both of them are in service.

  • @Trainlover4ever2006 Usually not. They're just deadheads.

  • cool! Iam going on a trip tomorrow taking the silver star from dc to miami! cant wait!

  • Awesome. Union Station is awesome. If you've never been there you're gonna love it.

  • Great Video! Loved the shots of the MARC equipment. Looks like you departed on trk 17, since the track shown with the pit is track 16.

    Haven't seen Beech Grove in awhile. It used ot be semi-permanently stored on one of the Acela tracks.

  • Yup, I've seen it there once before, and my friend Alex (Alx2925) saw it there during his trip there 6 months ago.

see all

  • Are you kidding me? Regionals always have cafes. You're probably thinking of Keystones.

  • are you sure that was a northeast regional? They shouldn't have a cafe' car.

  • Here we go again. Anyways, go ahead and drink redbull. There is a funny video indeed titled "Redbull gives you wings" but I don't know if it really does that. That phrase is going around and it is getting to be so annoying,. I've never tried Red Bull, but I do drink Monster Energy.

  • You do that, im gonna go drink some redbull! It gives you wings you know!
