That's because of the switches. Impossible to change the ties without replacing the switch. Most Amtrak's slow down anyway to switch to a local to stop at Ardmore
Yes Amtrak is government owned and is the intercity passenger service. SEPTA is owned by the city and only runs in the Philadelphia area as well as Wilmington DE and Trenton NJ
Really intresting video. Seeing as I'm irish would you mind telling me where Bryn Mawr is? By the way as a poster below suggests I would love you to look into the buttevant rail crash in Co. Cork in South of the Republic of ireland. If you have the time. I perfectly understand if you don't. it's not a huge crash compared to one's on the railway in the USA but it remains the biggest loss of life on Irish railways to this day. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttevant_Rail_Disaster

@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren thanks for both your answers .
I know that 145 is wrecked, but now repaired.
This was one of it's first runs after repairs. They actually use parts of 66's nose to repair 145
@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren so, 66 is now a spare parts engine. Just like hunter The union pacific 838 being used for lexy's parts. Since 1977
What kind was this on?
Will you plan on making another livestream.
At the moment I don't know
Was this from the live-stream?
Yes
