  • This was shot on Sunset Ave. in Chalfont, heading towards Doylestown from Link Belt, right?

    Bill in Bucks Co.

    a/k/a Ashburn Stadium

  • Yes, first Railroad Ave, then Sunset Ave, actually started the camera and the car when I heard him pass Schoolhouse Road.

  • What kind of diesel locomotive was that??? A GE U28C Maybe? Great Video.

  • It is an RL1 built by Republic Locomotive. They only made two and SEPTA bought both. It has not been very successful even after being rebuilt. In fact, they had one on the wire train Friday and it died. They had to send the other one up to rescue it, and wound up using both on the train for the rest of the day (I got both video and stills).

  • Ha u passed my future house at one point during the video. I live there now and where u stopped at the end of the video is now a septa station. they also got rid of the diesel and use regular silver commuter cars.

  • When did Septa start

  • Wow if only SEPTA got a clue and realized that running diesel engines like every other commuter railroad would help them expand. SEPTA is pathetic.

  • Reading your comment was a waste of my time.

  • Well it was obviously more interesting than the rest of your miserable, empty life as you took the time to watch it, and then comment on it too.

    Loser :D

  • OBVIOUSLY YOU CANT APPRECIATE ENGINEERING, get fucked you stupid waste of space

  • wow this is so cool! a 2 minute video of a train... damn this made my day

  • I guess you didn't try to cross the tracks right in front of the train, like they do in action movies! Nice video!

  • This is a prime example of staying with the train--WITH MUSIC

  • Cool pacing video, John!
