[HD] Rescue Train, P&W;, and More on the Amtrak Northeast Corridor in August 2014

Duration: 10:35
Updated: 09 Oct 2014

During the month of August I was lucky enough to be able to get to the Northeast Corridor on two separate occasions during August, 2014. First on the 14th I had made the trip down to meet up with a fellow railfan for the day. We were both surprised when P&W; decided to make a rare daylight run of CT-1 from Cedar Hill to Groton and return. I saw them going east at Old Saybrook and then chased them from Old Lyme to Guilford going west. The other time I had made it to the Corridor was on August 25th, which yielded an interesting mid-morning run of some trains in Westbrook. Amtrak train 95 had had issues and the Shoreline East protect set ended up needing to rescue the train. So 95 went through Westbrook at 90 mph having a P40DC leading 14 cars.

A High Speed Summer along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor

Updated: 22 Mar 2015

Over the Summer of 2014, I had spent some time along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor at a couple different spots in the PA/NJ/DE area. This video is a compilation of that footage. A lot can be seen in this, from the toasters to the new sprinters, Acelas to my last video respects to the HHP-8 fleet, which has been since retired, and even some other neat stuff, including some NJT and even a few Amtrak Diesels. I hope you enjoy! Dan

Watched some trains at the North Elizabeth Station on the Northeast Corridor today not my normal railfan place but an exciting one for almost every railfan. Going through this station you probably would not really see any freight trains but various high speed action packed trains of New Jersey Transit, and Amtrak. Even caught an NRHS DC chapter car on the back of an Amtrak train.

An Hour Railfanning On Amtrak's Northeast Corridor In The Snow With The New ACS-64

Duration: 5:08
Updated: 07 Jan 2015

I made a visit to Princeton Junction on Tuesday January 6th before attending high school basketball games & caught 9 trains on the Northeast Corridor in the snow within an hour. The only Amtrak trains I missed were Northeast Regional #93 & Keystone #647. The Pennsylvanian was delayed so I didn't even catch it. It was chilly but I didn't mind since the waiting rooms were heated. It was also my very 1st time catching the new ACS-64 in the snow. Enjoy the snowy trackside rail action on the NEC & watch in HD! 1. Amtrak Crescent #19 races by with AEM-7 #948 on the point about 5 minutes after I got to the station. The Dinky can be heard in the background as 19 approaches. 2. Acela Express 2166 flies past with Power Car #2000 in the lead & 2002 bringing up the rear. 3. Amtrak Keystone #649 races past with new ACS-64 #616 on the point & Metroliner Cab Car #9649 trailing behind. Note the open door on the second Amfleet car. 4. The Dinky passes over the pedestrian crossing while departing the station 6 minutes late with Arrow III EMU #1311 in the lead & 1306 bringing up the rear as snow keeps falling. 1311's ditch lights weren't working. 5. Acela Express 2163 races by with Power Car #2025 in the lead & 2029 bringing up the rear. 6. Amtrak Northeast Regional #85 flies past with new ACS-64 #624 in the lead. This unit was delivered to Amtrak last year. 7. Acela Express 2168 flies past with Power Car #2036 in the lead & 2038 bringing up the rear. 8. Amtrak Northeast Regional #186 flies past running 20 minutes late with new ACS-64 #608 in charge. The last Amfleet car on this train is covered in snow below the door. 9. A few minutes later Amtrak Silver Meteor #97 races by the station with new ACS-64 #623 on the point. Two workers can be seen clearing the snow off the platform with shovels as 97 approaches. Just like #624, this unit was delivered last year.

An Hour Railfanning On Amtrak's Northeast Corridor With The ACS-64

Duration: 5:58
Updated: 19 Feb 2015

Before attending high school girls basketball final season games I made another visit to Hamilton on Wednesday February 18th for an hour but was only able to catch 9 trains. Since Amtrak was still running a modified schedule several Acela Express trains were cancelled so they're not shown. Some trains were late & so was the Crescent. Enjoy the trackside rail action on the NEC in HD! 1. Amtrak Northeast Regional 171 flies past running 32 minutes late with AEM-7 924 leading. 2. Amtrak Northeast Regional 125 flies by running 2 hours & 15 minutes late with ACS-64 608 on the point. 3. Amtrak ACS-64 625 leads Northeast Regional 176 past the station. 4. An NJ Transit Comet Deadhead train flies by with Cab Car 6048 in the lead & ALP-46A 4664 pushing on the rear. 5. NJ Transit Train 3954 pulls into the station with Comet V Cab Car 6083 in the lead & ALP-46A 4642 bringing up the rear. 6. Amtrak Keystone 647 flies past with Metroliner Cab Car 9650 leading & AEM-7 941 bringing up the rear. NJ Transit Train 3847 then pulls in with ALP-46A 4662 leading & Multilevel Cab Car 7036 trailing behind on the rear. 7. Amtrak Keystone 650 flies past running 32 minutes late with Metroliner Cab Car 9635 in the lead & ACS-64 607 pushing on the rear. 8. NJ Transit Train 3856 departs with ALP-46 4618 leading & Multilevel Cab Car 7053 bringing up the rear. I then left after 3856 was out of sight.

The Acela Express - History Today

Duration: 43:20
Updated: 12 May 2015

Acela Express - History Today. The Acela Express (/əˈsɛlə/ ə-sel-ə; colloquially abbreviated to Acela) is Amtrak's high-speed rail service along the Northeast Corridor (NEC) in the Northeast United States between Washington, D.C., and Boston via 14 intermediate stops including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. Acela Express trains are the fastest trainsets in the Americas; the highest speed they attain is 150 mph (240 km/h) in revenue service. Acela trains use tilting technology, which helps control lateral centrifugal forces, allowing the train to travel at higher speeds on the sharply curved NEC without disturbing passengers.[9] Unlike the Japanese Shinkansen, the French TGV, the Spanish AVE and the Chinese CRH, Acela shares tracks with commuter and freight trains. However, aging infrastructure in many segments of NEC limits the train to an average speed in regular service considerably lower than its maximum speed.

NYC Perimeter Metro and Airport Rail Link

Duration: 10:02
Updated: 10 May 2015

Travel from Long Island to New England? It can be done quickly and efficiently in this new transit line I have proposed in this Webeo! From JFK Airport, the line will link two major airports, the Northeast Corridor, Manhattan, all MNRR Lines, and all LIRR lines in two simple routes. Much of this line will be built underground, but the costs can be justified by high predicted ridership, especially considering this will alleviate congestion from I-678 and I-95 as well! Stations: JFK Airport, Jamaica, Kew Gardens Hills, Flushing, LaGuardia (Link to Grand Central), Hunts Point, Parkchester, Bronx Zoo, Fordham, and Marble Hill. By: Atharv Gupte Remember: Video + Web = Webeo! Wow! The video came out to be EXACTLY 10 minutes long. Who knew?!
