- We take a ride on this former Reading Company line up to West Trenton, NJ. This was a part of the former Royal Blue Route. Highly informative graphics are displayed identifying locations, signal indications, most trains passing, road crossings, and control points.(at 9:41 that is an approach medium signal, at 10:16 that is approach signal)
I rode this train from Center City to Langhorne over 50 years ago when it was operated by the Reading. There was no continuous weld track, and some of the cars were so old. they had ceiling fans instead of air conditioning and you could open the windows. A bygone era.
Just an fyi….at the approach to Philmont station there is a road crossing called Red lion Road. Take a right there and go 2 miles and you will be at the Budd Red lion plant where every RDC,Budd Silverliner and many Amtrak train cars were built….not to mention many subway cars.
The last time I rode this line to West Trenton was the "Farewell to the Budd Silverliners" fan trip. Love seeing your videos.
hello retired railfan horn guy its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
My brother lived in Langhorne and I used to take this line frequently. Thanks for the memories.
Yardley was my station growing up, and still is when I visit family. Yardley especially used to be pretty rundown, so I like how they added ramps and a level platform. Love being there knowing some hoagies and cheesesteaks await me.
Im loving these Septa videos!
I love seeing the old Reading routes! This is a particularly fine one.
Very good video , Thanx !
You step it up with each new video. Keep these regional rail ones current! They are a fantastic study aid
You Are Producing GREAT VIDEOS!!!! I always wanted to be a locomotive engineer from age 2 when I saw my first train! Had to settle for working as a block operator/towerman/train director account my eyesight deficiency (requirements when I hired on in early 1970s). Therefore the ALL the info you provide in your videos is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! I want to see you do more "cab ride" videos if/when you can!!!! Would like to see a small map in one of the corners of the territory covered, if you could do that. THANK YOU for your Great Work and Quality!!!!

Thanks for going to all the trouble to add some very informative graphics. Your videos are excellent, always (this one being, a prime example), but your graphics are GREAT! (I also enjoy, on some of your other videos, hearing your commentary/descriptions.) Thank you, again!
Ran this line as an engineer for over 25 yrs. This is a nice stretch of railroad , from Elwyn thru to West Trenton N.J. Many highway grade crossings. Very dangerous at night !
Nice ride. Thanks Tim😀💚
