Of all of the times I've went to Strasburg, this was the first time I caught Amtrak at the same time as the runaround.

@@RailfanJourneys yea nice

Almost looks like it was painted on. No special effects were added.

That is coming soon! Was great meeting you up in CT.

@@RailfanJourneys Great meeting with you as well. Keep up the great work. Waiting for playlist.

The old Pennsy Mountain Division has been a favorite spot to visit for decades!

Thank you! I've always wanted to catch the freights working at Hudson, especially the street running, but don't get up that way during the week very much. Still have to get the street running.

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a good day trackside and yes a great spot.

Their future looks very bright as well.

They don't build them like that anymore!

There are seating areas for ticketed passengers. Seating inside would attract the growing homeless population in the city to take up residence.

@@RailfanJourneysI suspected something like that was happening.

Wonderful news! Any savings is appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you!

Yessir!

Thank you! Been waiting to get one of the MN Heritage Locos...Came close to getting skunked here but it worked out!

It is more convenient if that's the part of Manhattan that you're headed to.

It moves pretty good...Especially above the Van Wyck!

@@RailfanJourneys My pops was in the livery business, and called it the "Van Stuck"

@@finalascent That highway is congested 24/7...and always under construction.

LIRR trains go to both.

@@RailfanJourneys as of now LIRR trains go to grand central Madison

@@amachlis1991 Not all. 60% of riders still use Penn Station

@@armorpro573 more people use grand central Madison

It's not too bad once you get used to it. What many do not realize is the station area (platforms) are still the same, just the headhouse was moved across the street. It's better than it was, but nothing like the original.

I took the train into grand central and it was just fine

Eh it's shabby, not gonna lie. But it has seen some improvements.

Grand Central has called several railroads home. I'm curious...Who did you work for if you don't mind me asking? And thanks for viewing and your comment!

@@RailfanJourneysI was a station agent for MTA New York City Subway.

It was a very busy morning! Sadly the afternoons get very slow. Such is the way with the River Line...

This is all before I was even thought of...but if you look at photos of Pennsylvania Station in its later years after it hadn't been taken care of as it should, I can see where some may have deemed it "an eyesore" and didn't care if it was demolished. Sadly this was the building sacrificed for the preservation movement. Thanks for your comment!

@@RailfanJourneys Well at least Grand Central was spared. One bird is better than none

​@@RailfanJourneysThat's because the owners, citing increasing costs, allowed it to fall into disrepair.

@@vanessawyndham8791 And back then, people thought rail service was unprofitable due to increasing competition from other modes of transport. Boy how wrong they were

I've done the same. Great content. Love me some railfanning in PA!

Yes it was!

Thank you for your comments! Lots more to come and thank you for your support!

@@RailfanJourneys my pleasure, mate

@@RailfanJourneys i have some cool videos of the Portuguese trains that you will enjoy a lot.

Glad you enjoyed! As I mentioned in the comments, I've always tended to railfan this line west of SEPTA service, so this was a first for me. When you see the double-ended Amtrak trains, it usually means there was some type of problem with the cab car. Other than that, it's still a passenger coach so it is usually easier to "bury" it until it can be repaired. As with many multiple track lines, the outside tracks will get more usage as most of the stations can be accessed. Only a few have island-style platforms.

Thanks. I was hoping I'd score one of the heritage locomotives, but they've been elusive to me so far!

It was a lot different before PSR, that's for sure.

Thanks so much. It's always a fun day away and the weather was spectacular. Looking forward to the fall colors appearing on the trees soon.

Thanks. The views at Snake Hole Creek are best in the morning and just involve mostly hiking in. The rock cuts at the north end of the island involve hiking in and just walking up the rock cuts. Nothing too bad actually. There is actually a flat concrete surface where I set the tripod up on the one side. Don't know what was originally there, I've always wondered what it was.

Oh yeah...and the old Pennsy signal bridges. The one here in Summerhill was unique with the high signal masts.

Thank you! Have lots of more "footage" I have to go through...and more new stuff. Glad you like this one since the River Line is your thing. I'll have plenty more and want to check out more of your stuff as well! (It's been crazy here...) Thanks so much!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you liked the steam shots I'll be uploading a chase video from this past weekend's Reading Ramble shortly.

Thank you! I hope to be adding a lot more videos as soon as they are edited from the archives and newer stuff as well. Thanks for subscribing!

@@RailfanJourneys Sounds awesome man can’t wait! Would you by chance be interested in subscribing also

@@csx8851 I just did.

@@RailfanJourneys Thanks man you rock! 👊🏼😎
