Heh, thanks, i'm well aware of the commuter and inter-city operations in the northeast. :) I've traveled on both diesel and electric between hoboken terminal and newark broad street in both directions.

@ibook133 Both CDOT and MBTA use diesels on their NEC commuter runs due to the fact that their services predate the electrification of the line east of New Haven. MARC uses diesels strictly as a cost savings measure, but they do own some HHP-8's that are used during rush hours. Diesels are used a lot on electrified NJT trackage, usually on trains from Bay Head, the Raritan Valley line in the Newark area and on the Morris/Essex lines. These trains all run to Hoboken, they can't go into NYC.

Love the horn and the electric railroad. they're a step ahead of almost everyone else.

What did you have to do to arrange a cabride like that? When I visited that pike, they seemed pretty unfriendly. A security guard wanted to chase me away from the highway overpass near the Page NGS.

its ashame from the begining beccause E60s where really sopost to go 120 mph but the trucks failed and the had to go a maxiom speed of 85 mph, they where good engines too they could pull long distance trains :\
It's a damn shame that this is a common sight in Europe but here in the good ole USA, this is frowned as not being American!
Can you image if mainline railroads used overhead power how much less oil we would consume!

It's not frowned upon as being un-American, it's just too expensive to electrify tens of thousands of miles of track and buy thousands of new electric locomotives. When the cost of replacing all of that infrastructure is less than paying the fuel bill, then the option to electrify will be seriously considered.

Great video. How fast do these coal trains drive? Me is a german freight train driver. Some of our empty trains are allowed to run at 75 mph / 120 kmph

It's usually one trainset that does 2-3 roundtrips per day.
