@xdaftpunkedx Actually ABB is Swedish, Siemens is German.

Once again very nice. Don't forget this was once the home of the world-famous Bullet trains. According to the book "Pig & Whistle" the P&W Bullets were the first RAILROAD equipment ever tested in a wind tunnel and therefore makes them the world's first supertrains and the grandfather of all high-speed trains of today, including the TGV, ICE, and the Acela Express. I'd LOVE to meet this operator you rode with.

Lucky! When I go railfanning a lot of the commuter rail engineers look at me funny like what I am doing is crazy.

A little-known fact about the N-5's is that their bodies were built a Budd Co. licensee in Portugal, called Sorefame.

@nyshortline No kidding? Its funny that you mention that one of my friends who is Russian and lived in Germany rode these with me recently. He lives in D.C. and the Route 100 was new to him. He said he couldn't believe that the German company ABB could have built these. He said they didn't look at all like anything he could imagine ABB building. Guess He was right.

No no actually this was a sunday we were going through the stations because there was no one at them and no one had a stop request.

@xdaftpunkedx Do these trains use electronic speed control or speed sensors? I noticed the operator would power down after the beeping sound especially nearing curves. Also did not know that the tressle was on the Norristown end. Will have to ride this next time I am in Philly.
