- This is part 2 of my personal railroad archive video's. These were filmed by my dad when I was still a baby. He made these video's especailly for me so that when I got older I could see the trains from when I was little. Well I am sharing another one with you right here. In Part 1 of this mini series my dad films at Darby Station on the NEC. He films a few Amtraks and the Amtrak ICE train in that video. Well in part 2 hea's again filming at Darby station to catch somemore great amtrak action. This Part 2 was filmed in 1991 on a nice afternoon day. This is also when amtrak was in the Phase 3 paint scheme and you get to see a few AEM7's in phase 3 also. While he was waiting for some amtrak trains he filmed a couple of men playing with the dog. Not long after the first amtrak train shows up with AEM7 DC #912. 912 is leading the train at a good clip as it passes my dad. While waiting for another train he filmed the S curve towards the east. Originally that s curve wasn't that sharp but Septa added a new trolley yard and thus this S curve had to be rebuilt. Sometime passes by before a philly bound train shows up. AEM7 DC # 945 is leading this train at speed.As my dad films he gets a awesome horn blast from the crew as the train speeds past. In the distance it rouns the S curve and trips the old PRR color positioning signals. Finally to close out this video my dad films a Amtrak long distance train. Duel AEM7DC's one being 906 are on the point. The trains consit is mostly of heritage cars with a few Amfleets in the mix. It was a great day for my dad to film and he caught some great trains while there. I hope you enjoy another installment from my personal railroad archive video's that my dad filmed.
Great video! That is so cool that your dad did that for you!
I wish the corridor still had all the Amfleet color scheme in mixed sets it would pretty cool. Nice vid
