  • this train broke it's pantograph in Attleboro

  • This is a year old, look at my newest video.

  • If you want my opinion, a train speeding through a station at 141 mph where people walk freely around on the platform is dangerous! It's not like the driver can make a sudden emergency stop if someone's child just happens to wander onto the tracks as the train is approaching. I know it's a morbid thought, but it can happen. "Train appproaching, please remain behind yellow line" A yellow line? For starters, how about a gate on the edge of the platform that only the station employees can open

  • Its funny that u say that because yesterday i was at Kingston, and there were these people on the platform with their like 3yr old. He was Running ON THE YELLOW SAFETY LINE and the acela was less than 200 feet away. My friend clocked it with a radar gun. It was going 146MPH!!!! Do the math, they would not have been too happy. People really need to be aware of the danger of high speed trains.

  • The far end is always a great spot to railfan the Acela. I recorded a Southbound right on the coach platform

  • I know where ur talking about, I did the exact same thing but I messed up the vid and it was pointing at the wheels.

  • @ccolimon I fell for him too. :)

    It's a recording.

  • Ok! So at 141 mph, i'm standing behind the metal fence to the left! Forget the yellow line!

  • What a lovley train, it looks like our Eurostar

  • The ice 3 in Germany is 300km/h and looks nicer 

  • @AmtrakFanNEC927 i'd be standing in the lot im suprised they go that quick they only do 125 here in jersey

  • WOW!!!!

  • i love the high speed echo of that K5LA blast

  • @negvar the TGV doesn't do any good on this track, the only way to get the acela to go faster is they have their own right away, the track are straighter not sharp turn because even with the TGV or the shinkansen running on the track, they would have to slow down to 80 on turn or they would fly off the track.

  • I feel bad for the guy who has to say "Train Approaching..." over and over again..

  • @negvar That would be awesome!
