Amtrak Train 69 blasts through Tivoli and trips the detector

Amtrak Train 69, the Adirondack from New York-Penn Station to Montreal, blasts through Tivoli, New York, between Rhinecliff and Hudson Stations, at MP99. After going through the grade crossing, 69 trips the Tivoli defect detector. Unfortunately, like many of the old Conrail detectors in the area, the word "Conrail" has been removed from the computerized voice. Today's consist is Genesis P32ACDM 704 and 5 Amfleet I's. I apologize for not focusing on the train in the first few moments...something was distracting me, and I cannot remember what it was. Enjoy the Doppler effect by the horn, and the voice of the detector. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on July 3rd, 2008.

It could be alot faster with Tilt train equipment! Hours faster! It would be nice if I could ride this. They broke the connection with the Late for Sure Limited at Albany! And the Vermonter at Springfield from the west!!!!
