Thank you!

Thanks so much!

auto train😍

@@jayydarailfaner549 There is 150mph In the video at Princeton Jct. As for the Was-Baltimore the max you’ll get a train is at 125 in some areas.

I apologize about that but I enjoy taking photos as well… If those sounds bother you than these videos might not be for you but I will try and work on that!

Appreciate it!

I believe they canceled the order for them

Absolutely!

Thank you so much 😀‼️

Thanks a ton!

Yes the train at 3:47 , and 5:24 went past Lynchburg VA

Thank you! Greetings from the United States 🇺🇸😁

Absolutely!

Me too! Always seeing nice crews! More of that to come soon!

Thank you!

Me too!

Thank you! About depending on the time of day between 2 and 3 hours

Nice!

Yes you’re right but from what I hear NS and CSX both wanted it but CSX got the line but other than this line what you’re saying is primarily correct

I believe it was electric until Potomac Yard which was in Alexandria Virginia but hopefully more lines will be electrified!

It’s due that CSX owns the track from Washington to Florida. It’s would have cost them lot of money to put electric wires up and may restrict the cargo need to carry.

They were never electrified past the Alexandria Potomac Yards, which back in the day were primarily used for turnaround and storage.

Main reason why is because these lines aren’t owned by Amtrak, but owned by csx. If the lines gets electrified, csx would have to pay and then they cant run most freight like container stacks and auto carriers.

I didn't know the history of that formerly electrified line between Union Station and Potomac Yard - turns out that Potomac Yard is where PRR freights (which were often hauled by electric locomotives) exchanged with southeastern railroads (which were steam / diesel only). Once Conrail stopped running electric freight over the former Pennsy lines there was no need to maintain the catenary wires and they were removed (and hopefully recycled). Suppossedly there was no need to remove the pole structures as the clearence further up on the line negate running double-stacks regardless?

The Auto Train is quite the beast!

i got 47

Me too! Although we definitely have some time before they go anywhere!

Wdym the Amtraks are still in my statw

@@AmtrakProductions-e2g Amtrak isn’t going anywhere but some of their P42DC locomotives that they have are starting to be phase out

@@AcelaRailfanning I think so too, and some will definitely be preserved for Railroad Museums. And you know Amtrak will cling to the units in better shape for some time as backup power

Yep! Longest Passenger train in the world!

It’s the fucking Auto Train lol

Glad you enjoyed!

ありがとう!

The horn on Csx 1776 is a Leslie S5T I believe

ES44AC 1776 has a Leslie horn, but it’s a Leslie RS3L horn.

@@WestsideDomoIt is an S5T. Not all of the bells/trumpets are sounding off making it sound like an S3L. It’s a good example of why those Leslie S chambers became a hassle and Leslie developed the modern spiked RS chambers.

@@appalachianrails Makes sense. I’m not surprised that the horn had gotten fouled bad. It wouldn’t surprise me that the first gen Nathan K5HLL horns on some of the 700s and 800s numbered GE ES44ACs will be so foul sounded to where the horn will sound like a first gen K5HL horn on an ES44DC. Lol

Quad track

Thanks! Will do!

That would explain a lot from the videos I see at train stations over there! Here on the northeast corridor in some places where it is 4 tracks the tracks closer to the platform have a lower speed limit than the middle tracks… but there are a good amount of stations that are maybe 2 tracks along the northeast corridor or 3 tracks where trains bypass stations at high speeds.

@@AcelaRailfanning Yes and also if I speak now specifically about Germany is that high speed lines use the LZB safety system whereby high speed trains with the AFB function will slow down automatically by itself. The driver doesn't need to break the train manually by him or herself. To go back to the Northeast Corridor, I play Train Sim World 4 on the Playstation 5 and I also have the Northeast Corridor as DLC route betweeb Boston and Providence. So, when I am driving the trains, I pass the stations at 125kps.

@@91JRHAhh I see! Very nice!

At least in Spain they can go 200 km/h through the stations without a problem

@@ivannipaidea970 That's the same as in the UK!

Sometimes you just need a taste of another country for a bit! I definitely understand that

I agree I do also enjoy their rolling stock!

Budd don't Break

Sure. Not. Just think of the E60.

Thank you! Love the trains over there too!

We shall see

Yeah it is! From what I hear there’s also a shortage of them in service. That is why some trains on the keystone corridor have a double ended ACS-64 consist.

They're _old_ hence the withdrawal. The Airo cab car replacements are well in the works.

@@davidfuller581 I bet THOSE will blow me away.
