Excellent video. Camera work is stellar. Speaking as someone who grew up in West Hartford and was a fan of the NHRR going back to my childhood, it’s amazing to see how this line has evolved over the years. It pleases me to see CT and MA taking rail seriously and upgrading the physical plant. In the bankrupt NHRR and PC years, this line was beginning to fall into disrepair.
Those are “exit gates”. If you see, the approach entrance gates release at 1:38. The exit gates are designed to close about ten seconds afterwards in order to be sure the the crossing is clear of traffic. Also, in the event of a failure, entrance gates will lower, in other words they are actually held in the upward position, when power is taken away from the unit, they are balanced to lower. The exit gates will fail in the raised position, so in other words, if there is a failure while the exit gates are down, they are balanced to raise to the open position.
@@NorthEasternMotionProductions Pretty sure these things are supposed to sound like an old-cast P5/older K5LA mix, right? Why did CTRail not fix them up?
@@NorthEasternMotionProductions Why CTRail would just slap non-standard equipment meant for applications overseas where fittings and systems differ compared to here is beyond me. They never should have gotten rid of the old horns.

Nice video! I like the CT RAIL, but LOVE the Amtrak cab car. I want to make an Amtrak cab car for train simulator.
@@islamaliyev9017?
Awesome! Pleasure to meet you!
Thanks and pleasure to meet you too
I was on Trains 143, 6400, 461, and 6456 lmao
Oh sweet lol
I like the new colours in the passenger cars for CTrain
Same here
avasic1995 @ 5:12 looks like a old MBTA cab control car
Jmream2 Jmream it is that
They are former mbb coach cars from the commuter rail in Massachusetts that CTrail is leasing until they get their own new cars built.
Ahhhh that GP40 is music to my ears
amazing video
Harrison Peloso thanks

Good thin that Amtrak service with CT Rail
MTA Long Island Rail Road Productions yeah
2:05
P42 #146 has an EMD Steel Bell?
I don’t think so
39:45
Here is the normal P42 bell for comparison
Yup. She does.
Finally got my DECALS!!!!!!!!yea!!!!!!!!
1st one I;ve seen in the new colors now That I live in FL. sad to see the old colors gone but that's not too bad.
Looks like they spent some money on the RR for a change hope it's making money.
Donald Bartram - It’s the old New Haven colors, although a different paint scheme.
Why does Engines Like 146 Come To This Line Anymore?
What horn are on those Gp40PH-2 also I'm glad they have M bells instead of E bells
Transit Rail Productions K5ULAULS
NorthEast Rail Videos Those horns come all the way from the land Down under also known as Australia.
If they had e bells, they would be worse than they already are
Why was there 2 464 shuttles?
What other rail company in North America uses the Australian K5 besides CT rail?
Very nice.
StormySky Rail Productions thanks
You are very welcome.
Yea nice video
Why does it seem like all the p42s that pull ct rail cars are dirty
Seems like the GP40s never got the Dash 3 electronics installed...
Ah
1:56 I feel like the gates went down a bit late

Amtrak Loco 108 needs to go to the bone yard. What a mess! Either that or to the shop for a paint job!
All of Amtrak equipment is SO dirty. Don't know why CT does not own a train wash.
CDOT does, but not Amtrak. There used to be one in Springfield years ago.
Amtrak has one in Rensselaer, NY.
Alright, my man, I knew you would come around
Indeed I was
Where's this at. Is this in upstate new york. How far from Delaware
Connecticut
Is that a gauntlet track right at the station platform?
And Wallingford
Does anyone know who's offering CT RAIL Decals in HO scale, lam looking to do 2 GP 38s locomotives....HELP!!!!!!
I FINALLY GOT MY DECALS.....YEA!!!!!!!!!!
An 8 car train on this line? was that the Vermonter or a Springfield - Washington train?
In wondering the same thing
Whats with the EMD bell on 146?
FLNY Mike what the problem with it? I don’t hear anything wrong with the bell.
Error: 6456 to Hartford
CTRail1996 what about it
avasic1995 train video clip #14, cab car faces northbound
What about it
ALCO BELLS ON CAB CARS?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Ma USA
18:34 A K5UL-AU-LS IN AMERICA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Unfortunately. Those things are God-awful!
@@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions not really, this one is just not that good.
@@NorthEasternMotionProductions Pretty sure these things are supposed to sound like an old-cast P5/older K5LA mix, right? Why did CTRail not fix them up?
@@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions I think it's a problem with how the air is set up since these horns were meant for Australian trains.
@@NorthEasternMotionProductions Why CTRail would just slap non-standard equipment meant for applications overseas where fittings and systems differ compared to here is beyond me. They never should have gotten rid of the old horns.
these UL horns sound like shit lol.
Oh yeah just like a truck horn lol
