Railcamp Day 1 Part 1 (Amtrak Wilmington Shops)

As we woke up at 5 this morning, we take a bus ride all over penssylvania and Delaware. This was our first stop which was at Amtrak Wilmington Shops located in Wilmington, Pennsylvania. We go behind the scenes to see how amtrak repairs its AEM-7, HHP8, and all there other power equipment. The cars are not worked on here and will be in the next video. hope you enjoy and if anyone has any questions, let me know. Also for all of you who have gotten in trouble at the Amtrak stations for taking pictures, me and a friend of mine talked to the amtrak vice president and he said that he was going to try and end all picture taking laws either with or without tripods on all station platforms.

Man Thomas that is too cool!! The beginning shot was on 495 right? Heading South towards Wilmington....I have passed that Pink Graffiti on that that Bridge SO many times...It is a small world buddy! I am glad you are having a blast and it is incredible how they do things. I worked for Boeing Integrated Defense Sytems not to far from there. Same deal except we were Building Chinooks, Apaches, and V-22's. Awesome man!
