Northbound Amtrak Regional knocks camera over

After each train went by once, I started to find different shots. In this one, I put the camera on the wooden platform that extends from the Holmesburg Station platform. The approach is great, but the HHP-8 knocked the camera over!

nice vid but you shouldn't do that you could have hurt yourself or gotten in trouble

Trouble, possibly. Hurt, no. As you noticed there is a lot of empty time between when the camera started and when the train came.

That was awesome! Its so cool to see those Acela trains coming down the track from far away and watch it approach and whizzzzz by at like 90 MPH, especially going down the I-95 corridor between Bridge St and Cottman Ave, or even further up near Woodhaven

This was actually a regional pulled by an HHP-8 but yeah it is awesome!

Oh yeah, I didnt mean to imply that the one in the video was an Acela. I just meant that I love watching the Acelas zoom by in that area. Im doin 70 down I-95 right before i get to cottman ave and those suckers are whizzin by me like im standing still!
