thanks for the work,,,,a near three hour trip standing and filming,,,,,only true passion can enable the feat..........I waited for the ride to get up to newark station.......Hell I'm 73.....back in the 1990's there was no airport station.....Anyway,,,I'm from Bklyn NY....hung out in Manhattan ,,and when free , took the trains out to Jersey.......,,,Many days ; hung out in Queens at Sunnyside........thanks again................Today I live in Pittston PA.....and have lots of frieght rail history to keep me happy,,,,plus Steamtown......
My grandmothers house is directly on the right at 28:22! 🙌🏾 There is also a bridge intersecting Frederick & South Hilton st (shown shortly beforehand), I used to go to the opening when I was little and watch the trains come through.
I didn’t quite see a house or an opening at the 28:22 mark, at that mark yea i actually pass under 2 bridges at 28:22 im assuming that’s the Frederick & South Hilton St you’re referring to
Nice video, thanks for capturing the whole thing! I gotta say, this portion of the NEC makes the old New Haven section look like a joke...the PRR sure knew how to build a nice straight right of way!
To play devil's advocate, the PRR didn't have to contend with the craggy, moraine-filled geology of New England when craving out their right of way! Given the same geological and technological circumstances, I doubt the PRR would've done any better than the New Haven in making their mainline less curvilinear.
Thanks for the video! Since your video is so recent I was able to use it as a reference for doing the platforms of 30th St for my upcoming NEC train sim update on Roblox. Very good quality and your patience to record all this is appreciated
@@jayydarailfaner549 let me reword it. I wasn’t aware that any Regionals skipped Trenton. I thought Trenton was a required stop for all of them as well as all long distance trains going through. I liked your other video showing a Regional skipping stops between New Haven and Providence. That’s also very rare.
WOW, I just saw where this passes thru Claymont Delaware heading north starting around 1:13 coming into the Wilmington DE station for a stop. 1:18 is coming thru Holly Oak, I-495 on the right & the Delaware river on the left, 1:19:53 is the abandoned switch tower that used to control the PRR / Conrail freight yard. Watch as the track goes elevated to cross over the two inside tracks that went into the freight yard, this is around 1:20:00. At 1:21:20 is the old Claymont DE station. This is on a deadly curve. Many people have been killed crossing the track instead of going under the tracks thru the tunnel. This was a local stop for SEPTA commuters. At 1:21:35 is the new station that has been completed since this video was made. This has an overhead crosswalk so all should be good now. This new station is just about on the DE / PA state line. At 1:22:30 is the Marcus Hook SEPTA station in PA. Dave KC3AM
@@trainrailfan671this was filmed last May, schedule for 196 changed. I recently did a 3rd video late last month & planning on doing a 4th so it be daylight after Philadelphia
Nice video! I've always wondered why in the Maryland section of the corridor 1 track is mainly used for southbound trains while the other 3 (or 2 going from BWI-New Carrolton) are used mostly for northbound... Quite a mystery for me.
Mainly because New Carrollton has 2 tracks between there & DC tracks 2 & 3, north of New Carrollton there’s a switch called Carroll Interlocking that adds a 3rd track for MARC trains to switch over to track 1 & Amtrak trains run down track 2 that’s the reason why. I kinda wished between BWI Airport & New Carrollton was quadrupled tracked

Man bring back some good memories I used to work at that country yard while working for Njt
I seriously need a job working for NJT man
@@jayydarailfaner549 well go for it
Nice ride
Thankss
Awesome video
This must be the only non-Acela train which skips Trenton. Well done!
What do you mean “non-Acela train which skips Trenton” ? That’s 1. And 2. All Acelas skip Trenton but they’re not mon stop

@@PhillyBagel yea some Regionals skip Trenton
@@jayydarailfaner549 there was two acelas a day that stopped at trenton at one point
@@buildintotrains I’ve known that for 15+ years, I’m a railfaner, schedule has changed on 4/3 now no Acelas stop at Trenton ☺️
This is why electrified corridors will remain the best
@@cryorig_transit05 the absolute best, but some portions of the tracks could’ve been built way better
@jayydarailfaner549 Oh yeah true, when I was in the NE Regional and it goes over a railroad switch, it feels like the train will tip over 😭

Well actually this video was done in May, the new Claymont station opened on DEC 3
44:25 That’s my home station when I was riding the MARC Train to Washington DC this summer 2023! Martin State Airport Station!
thank you for this amazing video! I hope you'll do it again next summer when days are loger
Thanks & i already did, as the title states “Daytime Ride”
@@jayydarailfaner549I meant another one this summer, the more I see the beter it is LOL

I love that sound at 2:16:46.
A superb video Jay, thanks! I wonder why the big city stations of the US are so shabby looking and dirty? The smaller ones are fine!
NICE 🎉🎉🎉
there you go,,,,doin what i have done.......walked a long way up to the head end,,,,ACS-64,,,unit 607........but those new units did not exist in my early day....
I think Wilmington station is a bit small
Sheeeeesh, It really is so damn fast. Around 110 mph right?
Where at??
I am always Fascinated by USA and Amtrack Grand Central has 44 Platforms but Penn with 11 is the main station these day i Know it a though station but its access is very poor by small tunnels .and i feel for all the Amtrack permeant way staff working in them tunnels to keep the train moving. but i have to say like British Railways and London Underground .the Tunnels which are vey old Hudson about 110 years old and UK about 100/150 + years old they built them very well to last so long.

2:41:45 why have a third rail?
Idk, it was designed like that
The original electrification from 1910 to Manhattan Transfer (now Hudson Yard) was third rail. It was cut back on the Jersey side to the tunnels when the catenary went up around 1932. Still in place for work trains, or rescue by a Amtrak P32ACDM.
What the heck is that noise when train runs?
@@buntyandalexurucatushow3087 what noise ?
From 43:39
Just hear closely
@@buntyandalexurucatushow3087 didn’t hear anything, replayed it several times
Was that Marc at the start of the video ?
Idk but i think it was one of the locals to Baltimore or Camden from what i can remember
Yes it was and its a penn line train because of the consist
