Like the video. One change I'd make is let the captions stay up a abit longer. I have to pause at each one if i need to read it. Thanks for this though!
Thanks for the explanation. I kind of enjoy these videos as well. As an Amtrak commuter for eight years (Capitol Corridor) I can't help but be interested in how pasenger rail systems work and where things are headed. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
Always like seeing MBTA F40PH's. Once i'm done building out my N scale Amtrak fleet I may add a few MBTA units. Unfortunately they're not widely represented in N scale so will likely have to have some custom painted units made. Rapido has some lovely H.O. scale MBTA stuff, though.
Amazing video, I’ve never gotten to go on the Northeast Corridor yet from D.C. to Boston. I really want to soon since there are so many locomotives I have not seen yet. Anyways, like I said, amazing video! Keep up the great work!
It’s such a shame the MBTA still has the audacity to run its dinosaur diesel fleet directly underneath catenary… if the MBTA is really considering a regional rail model, it must take the procurement of EMUs seriously- it’s already bad enough they’re not electrifying the under construction south coast rail initiative (Fall River/New Bedford line).
@@Qazwsxedc165 if it’s true that Amtrak is retiring it’s entire fleet of acs-64s, that’d also probably be a pretty good alternative for the MBTA, as they can retain their current coaches for the time being. From what I’ve gathered, the MBTA wants to procure EMUs for the Providence/Stoughton line sometime this decade, with the two manufacturers most likely to build rolling stock being Alstom and Stadler. Granted, it’s been nearly a year since the MBTA has announced anything concrete, so who knows what’s even going to happen at this point…
@@southmassrailfan oh okay, thanks. I seen other videos of the locomotive with an e-bell, but this is the first one to have seen having an mechanical bell. But thanks for telling.
Because the train splits in Albany. Half of it goes to Boston the other half goes to New York City. That’s why the section is so short. It’s only half the train
wouldn't call them rare, but rather antiquate & obsolete, given how other developed countries are constantly upgrading their railing infrastructure. As an MBTA customer, they're a disaster from every POV, and now with the plan-demic going on, their only "solution" to every mismanagement is to hike prices with offering the same sloppy service

Choo choo! Happy New Year! I'm a train and I approve this video!!!

Nice video bro, I absolutely love the design of the avelia liberty, I wish it was also on our country.

Good video. Subtitles not on the screen long enough to read.
That’s some incredible luck, I’ve been railfanning at south station several times and I’ve still never been that lucky
Great video
No way the greatest TH-camr of all time commented on my video!!
Nice video!

They should get ALP-45DPs. It would allow them to electrify for cheap.

The mbta literally has one line under wires and it’s at less than 10 stations you gotta be realistic here lol that’s not gonna happen anytime soon
@@marylandrailfan2008 the Providence line is the most ridden daily by a solid margin.
46 has a mechanical bell. That so interesting considering that it had a e-bell before
It had a mechanical but they replaced it with a Ebell shortly afterwards
@@southmassrailfan oh okay, thanks. I seen other videos of the locomotive with an e-bell, but this is the first one to have seen having an mechanical bell. But thanks for telling.
@@norCali36 yeah. The ebell then was not working right then they replaced it again. 46 has a weird bell history lol
3:51 jingle bells 🔔
nice one sam!
2:30 so the purple train is using an electric bell while the blue train is using a real bell?
May i ask how you knew the new Acela was coming??
Those are Acelas
I still have trouble understanding why the Lake Shore Limited consists after Albany is extremely short

Why doesn’t amtrack use Acela from la to Vegas since the line is decommissioned
there isnt electrical infrastructure there. building it would also take years
@@valf1733 that’s is what brightline is doing not sure why they are not proactive
Money, guy, money
