hey Don i heard you talking to 171 that was engineer tyler martin that you were talking to

Ten years before the agency got their first alp-type locomotives in 2000. Those U34CHs were revving loud even though they were nearly into Hoboken. They needed a lot of power to be able to push the trains into the terminal it looked like. They were pushing those trains hard, OMG. 😮 I’m happy that 4172 (originally 3372) and still retains the original road number, got restored back to it’s original paint scheme from when it was delivered in the late 1960s and that it’s surviving today. ALP-44M #4424 is also at the URHS of NJ in Boonton, NJ and preserved.

Do you have any videos at GCT in the 1990’s walking on the platform between trains? That was a childhood memory of mine before they replaced them with the less noisy engines.

When did they build the third track on the Hudson line?

hey Don i was at alexandria yesterday i might two engineers both gave e gifts for the first time one threw me a penn central sticker from 171 her name was kelly and then i met john or is it jon on 305? he gave me a shave and a haircut im putting my video of you up for tomorrow night

2:45 that echo tho⭐

Now it’s three tracks and one tunnel. This has changed so much.

Hey Don i made a new friend that takes train 67 and 174 and the nick nqme for him is grandpa engineer he said merry christmas to me the day before christmas and then i caught him on 174 gave me a hornshow and pointed at me on christmas eve i meant to ask a engineer on amtrak what his name was

I remember the Turbos smelled of jet fuel and were very fast.

It is possible that I was standing across the river and taking pictures of that same train from Cold Spring!

Former Erie Lackawanna 🎉🎉

Hey Don who takes 310 ussally?

hey Don i get to ride my first marc penn line train this saturday from union station and its the first northbound out of dc for the morning i dont know anyone that is on the marc penn line though but i do know one engineer on the arc brunswick line his name is rick he takes P873 and i might be able to ride in the cabcar on the way back ill see if i can video the engineer at the controls i think it depends what train set im on though ill see if one of the engineers will be nice enough to blow the same way that you do lol

I think they may actually still be using these B23's for their MOW and other activities. I saw a really beat up one that looked suspiciously similar to this on the New Haven line in New Rochelle about 6 months back.

EARRAPE WARNING!

Hey Don my last train of the night was M421 with engineer perkins

Happy Thanksgiving Don! I’m very thankful I met you and became friends with you man! Hope your thanksgiving is going great!

hey Don i will be at alexandria for my birthday next wedensday is there vests in the locomotives? if so can you see if theres an extra one and throw it out to me?

4102 is still going strong today. She’s over 50 years old and the oldest NJT engine still on the tracks. Glad to see a video from back when she wasn’t super old. Built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) in 1967-1969.

Nice seeing those U34CHs still on NJT property. Sadly, none of them exist today. They were big, heavy, powerful noisy machines on wheels, Lol. 😅 Today, we have GP40s, two F40s and plenty of ALP-46/A and ALP-45 locomotives by Bombardier and Alstom. The remaining single decks are also being phased out for more multilevel cars.

Awesome video Engineer Don!

why is it not filmed in 1991 if it is 1991 railfanning? its filmed in 2016

Great seeing you today Don!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

1992? I believe it...nobody on the backend. No horns over the crossing. No changing ends/brake test. No restricted speed until past the point at a more favorable indication. This was the wild west. And that guy probably runs the show now.

We still have the shoreliners, it goes to show how great they are!

10:23 nice😄

Cool video. No L trains were seen as the Lake St line was shut down for reconstruction.

Crazy race between you and K94 today!

Isn’t ALP44 the NJ Transit version of the AEM7

Sadly this is stuff we will never see on NS ever again in this modern era of railfanning

Hi could I use this footage for a video going over the RTLs? 1:02 (actually could i have permission to use your RTL footage, you've got some of the best footage of them out there!)

Whats the yellow paint on the left ends of the gons at about the 25:22 mark?? Never seen that before.

I like that horn 0:41 23:55

Yooo Don what’s up man!

This is beautiful. I love seeing the days of what was perhaps either just NJ Transit’s most successful route as it made its rounds along the line, or even just another normal day of a decent place with people possibly going to and from work as per usual along there.

Wow, look at that, an old FL-9 meeting a brand-new P32, perfect meet at perfect time.

Engineer dom

Amtrak Empire Service trains depart New York Penn station and it stops at Albany Schenectady and it arrives at Niagara Falls

Amtrak metroliner trains depart Washington DC stops at Philadelphia and New York Penn station and Amtrak silver star trains travel through Georgia North Carolina and South Carolina

Amtrak’s southwest chief travels through Kansas Missouri Colorado New Mexico and Arizona

Its ashame any known footage of the RTL-III is considered lost media, on the other hand atleast we have RTL-II footage.

Seeing this were I live in Elizabeth is cool

Conrail GI joe train set, consist #3 😂

i love the sound of the engine of it after its leaving the chugging is js like so nostalgic lol

36:43 39:07
