Amtrak trains on the Empire Corridor (near Albany NY)

After Selkirk and a quick stop in Amsterdam, we decided that we wanted to go see some Amtrak @ High Speed, here we are around MP 135 and also near Hamilton Ave Crossing

Those trains are permitted to go at 110 mph through those RR crossings. The 2nd vid looks like 110 mph. I took the LSL five days ago and the conductor said they could do 110 mph through these RR crossings.

Alex,

Nice captures! I haven't seen much footage from the high speed territory south of Rensselaer (MP 124-141). I need to get over to the other side of the state and capture some myself! Great job!

@Metrarailboy1 Zero mph if your Empire Service is stopped by the police like mine was outside Rochester a couple weeks ago... armed robber on the loose by the tracks and the cops shut the entire mainline down while they sent the bloodhounds out for the guy. That was a first for me!
