the best view of this ride is out the left side on the way south, there’s a couple hours along the ocean in Connecticut that is just stunning.
Railroaded all my life, never ran at these speeds, but we tried a couple times. Nice daylight run. Thanks.
I took this trip in 1987 before acela and wires. Had a F40PH on the head end swapped for a Toaster at New Haven.
Last year, I rode this from Beantown to Newark, NJ. It was intense. It went so fast, I couldn't even see the poles for the overhead wires.
Just wait until you ride a high speed train in Europe or Asia.
roses are red, violets are blue
there's trains and trams in my playlist two
there ya go, that somehow rhymed :))
My friend and I were 14 years old when we hopped on our first freight train ride through the “Deadman’s Tunnel” in Jersey City on Easter 🐣 Sunday in 1967! Also known as the Long Dock or Bergen Tunnel, 57 people were killed ⚰️ ✝️ 🪦 and 32 others ⛑ injured during its construction in the mid 1800s! After exiting the western portal, we got off of the moving train and returned 🏡 home, trekking our way through the “Erie Cut.” Opened for passenger service in 1911, this 4-track corridor was 🏗built to bypass the smoke 💨 and congestion of the 2-track Bergen Tunnel. Commonly called “The Bergen Arches,” they are a series of underpasses located 60 feet below street level. These tunnels were built by the Erie RR and the Department of Transportation, with the Erie Portals ⚒crafted in the Ornamental 🖼 Art Deco of the time period! Train operations in The Cut ended with the closing of the Erie Railroad 🛤 Passenger Terminal located on the Jersey City Waterfront. The Dead 💀 Man’s Tunnel is still in operation today as a freight line for the Norfolk and Southern. 🎌 🚩 thanks
You realize that this is a bot?
@@rhodeislandonrails2 Your Mother! thank you 🎌 🚩
Took that train many times when I was stationed at the Submarine Base in Groton, CT across the river from New London. Used to take overnights to visit Chinatown in Boston .(Awesome foodie trips)
Nicely done
Great video keep them coming
They should also do full, front view rides on every train route in the United States!
I dont need to know where I,m going,I just need to know where I,v been.nicely done.
Great video. It brought back memories running on the NEC before moving to China to run trains.
Again, thanks for the memories and keep on posting.
Thank you so much for these videos please keep them coming very relaxing
Thanks for sharing. Brought back memories of when I lived in East Greenwich RI and would go watch trains with my son. 51:43 is the old station in EG. 52:14 is the bridge over Old Forge Rd, I have quite a few videos filmed from the street below and right after that is the cut behind the house where we lived. Used to walk through the woods to watch trains there, too.
32:48 cruising under the abandoned Pawtucket-Central Falls Station. Built in 1916 by the NYNH&H RR and closed by 1959, it has an interesting history since it still sits on top of the right of way,
I believe they are restoring a stop there, but not at that station building?
Love this! Thanks for posting.
I’ve wanted to film so many different videos from the back of the trains but half the time can’t get in there unless on Amtrak and have one of those phone holders
Great video!
Took a $20 Amtrak ride from Back Bay to Moynihan Station (NY) a couple f weeks ago!. It was pretty smooth from beginning to the end of my destination.
I forgot to mention that the Erie Railroad 🚞 Passenger Terminal closed in 1955, ending all train operations through the Erie Cut-“Bergen Arches.” In the late 1950s, the company removed 3 of the 4 tracks in the corridor, leaving one as a siding for the Croxton Yard freight terminal. This track (No.3) still has some remaining rails and ties left and this is how I first discovered this place back in 1967. Also, very importantly, both the Erie Cut and the Bergen Tunnel are 7/10 of a mile long! thanks 🚩
Please do the Empire Service from Pennsylvania Station to Albany front view & full trip along with every other Amtrak route.
great video! please do New London to New York 💖
Amazing isn't it. One of the oldest cities in America, and they built what is now consisdered a high speed rail line right out of downtown Boston to Providence RI. with no grade crossings and few curves. New passenger cars with lower center of gravity, tilt train technology, and steeper track curves would allow for probably closer to 200 mph speed
Fast trains are awesome
cool!
Very nice.
Great pity you didn't flash up the names of stations as you passed through.
You should repost this backwards.
That would occasionally look weird, with cars and people going the wrong way, but most of it would give a convincing illusion of being filmed from the cab going forward.
You should sell em at dvds or blurays. I'd def buy em.
Very cool!
Nice, smooth and quiet ride. No pesky Railroad Crossings and crazy horn blowing, scaring civilians along the way. thanks 🚩
There are 11 crossings on the NEC, all but 3 or 4 were shown in this vid lol
So? I still didn’t hear 👂 the horn blowing! You have pat calabro derangement syndrome, If you continue, I will make a fool out of you! thanks 🚩
What is the top speed on this train ride with the Amfleet cars? Does the Acela do 155 on this stretch? Super video. Thanks!
How are you able to get the rear view without the conductor seeing you?
Probably a tripod to put on a window
@@Ericlovestrainsahh smart I gotta do that
I assume this is the Acela train?
I usually travel from Connecticut to Vermont several times a year.
I take the Vermonter train and I much rather take the Amtrak train Vs the Greyhound bus!
It is not the Acela. The Acela has a locomotive at each end. This is a regional train that I beleive has a top speed of 125 mph vs the Acela at 150 mph.
2:36 Is that someone on the tracks!? What is he doing there??
He’s an employee, jobs that sign up out of south station have a parking lot about a quarter mile away down the tracks because there’s no where to park downtown near the station.
Is this camera mounted outside the car? The noise is deafening.
The funny part is the camera was inside the car the whole time!
The vestibules on amfleet coaches are very loud and hot or cold depending on weather.
Why are you taking photos for
thats a video ma dude
@@HarrisonPeloso oh ok
Even though it’s a video if careful with the picture button you probably get some really good shots during the video
Thumbnails, and other needed necessities.
The Men 🦺 who constructed the Bergen 🏗Tunnel and put down the tracks, lived with their families on site, 🚧 in a place called Shanty Town, which was located on a hill where the present-day Dickinson High School 🏫 Building stands today! The Men were 🏦 paid 💰from the Erie Railroad 🛤 Payroll Car. 🚞 💵 🍺 thank you 🎌 🚩
Dlaczego sepia i dlaczego od tyłu ?
I don't like the back camera angle. Can't see anything but what is behind you.
Don’t know where I’m going but I sure know where I’ve been!
The amount of trash trackside in Boston AT THE station itself is a turn off. Do you see trash on the runway at the airport?! NO! This does not build confidence as a customer. Looks like a wonderful fire hazard. Should be an Amtrak employee job to handle this track trash daily. First train stop was a poorly maintained station in this video, green mold on walls, trash, and dirt in abundance. Some stations get all the TLC, many, many do not. Amtrak why do you always have to check my darn ticket for validation? I understand crews change. One check is okay for the trip, but not over and over again on the journey, get some sort of system in place, maybe the app that identifies me (Bluetooth) for the entire journey as a paid customer and let me be, let me read and sleep.
.
Having said that, I sure love trains and train watching! 🚅
