    80 miles an hour & 1 flat spot on the wheel sure does make a lot of noise.

    Thanks for the great videos! Your narration is most helpful in understanding railroad technologies ☺️

    The abandoned Cross Brothers Slaughterhouse on the left at 34:43. PRR, PC, and Conrail use to serve that place. Cattle cars with fresh cattle going in one way, reefer cars loaded with fresh beef on the other.

    At 1:15, you can see where they laid the new track after the derailment that happened right out of the station a few months ago. It looks like they left parts of the old rails in there and changed the curve of the track a little bit to make the new ROW.

    I just wanted to say how much I really enjoy your video and your narration I agree with you the Northeast quarter have some of the finest High-Speed Rail in the country and that's something I'm proud to be an American that we have that sure you could go to Japan or France an experience 200 mph but at that speed you would get a headache just looking out the window trying to keep up thank you for the wonderful videos and your narration

    That track from 40:20 to 41:00 - what did Amtrak do here? Looks almost like some kind of secondary track.

    I'm familiar with this line. I use it when I go to/from Trenton in conjunction with going to New York. The senior citizen fare is only $23.50 round trip.
    Thanks Tim😀💚
