Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

From the start of the video to New Haven was only completed in 2000. Rest of the way was completed in the 1920s.

@richmartin1427 Interesting, Britain had 2 Overhead electric railways 1,500 DC, started erecting gantries prior to the war on Woodhead Route from Manchester to Sheffield and Wath.1954...Only Manchester to Glossop and Hatfield remains, originally covered Manchester, Derbyshire and S.Yorkshire....Closed by Dr Beeching, along with so many others, originally a 60 mile route.... Also London Liverpool St. Connected with Fenchurch St and had a similar Electrification, back in 1949, to Brentwood and Shenfield in Essex and extended in 1956 to Chelmsford and Southend on Sea..It was an old and first in Britain, now converted to 25 KV AC...Extending to Colchester in 1960s....

@@richmartin1427the wires have seen a lot of upgrades over the years

WALK bridge

More to come!

depends on how laid back the train crew is, ive been back here for like 20 minutes and didnt even see a conductor approach me

@@NortheastCorridorFilms Well, the previous time before that incident, I was there from RTE to PVD, and the conductor only interrupted me to scan my ticket and ask where I was sitting. Must've been just that guy being a jerk.

@ yea some are laid back some go by full policy because its actually prohibited for passengers to stay in the vestibule but most conductors dont care

Most infrastructure for the NEC was built before anything highspeed was even a thing, it would take long to install it

There’s a few crossovers that allow 80 mph. But most are conventional number 20 turnouts for 45 mph or less.

The lack of high speed switches within metro north territory is very irritating

@@JoeyLovesTrainsthe lack of anything high speed on Metro-North territory is irritating.

Usually around tracks owned by Metro North

it goes 125mph

Not too different from any other place in between Providence and Boston when it comes to MBTA it’s actually got less than other places on the northeast corridor closer to Boston, but it is a very nice place to shoot trains and a very nice town and general with a lot of cool history

it gets the same amount of trains on the providence line after canton junction, its just a good spot because the amtrak trains go full speed there

Thank you! Cheers!

@ Thanks!

I agree but I doubt Bridgeport will get island platforms in the future. Connecticut probably thinks that it’s not worth the expense despite the delays it would prevent.

They look old because they are old! This section of the New Haven RR mainline dates to the 1840s, but the tracks themselves-it should go without saying-have been upgraded many times since then. That said, the line's sharp curves, winding layout, and outdated signaling impose a strict speed limit that is not ideal for "high-speed rail" trains like the Acela.

It used to be all double-tracked to Springfield but Amtrak tore it out in the 1980s to save maintenance costs. It is slowly being rebuilt in spots, with the eventual goal to restore it all the way. Amtrak needs to replace the CT River bridge first and that's a few years down the road. Soon Amtrak/CTDOT will be adding double track up to Windsor Locks and as a passing track near where the Enfield station will be built, at 12:18. The canal wall in Windsor Locks needs to be strengthened first and route 159 moved slightly to the west to accommodate the rebuilt track.
