I was going back into my apartment from getting something to eat and Behold: Avelia Liberty. Sorry for the low quality and the shakiness as the train caught me off-guard.
CADETS HIT

Quarterfinals Performance Cadets 2000; first hit of the show. I marched this show (reluctantly after my first season with Cadets in 1999). Best drum corps show I've ever been apart of.

The end of our show in 2000 at Giants Stadium (torn down and is now Metlife Stadium) in East Rutherford, NJ. If you know "Superfan," he recorded this and we found ALL the videos he recorded. If you're like me, you've spent years hoping they'd come to light.

Superfan has been found. Here's a sample of some of what's been found. This is Cadets in 2000 (I marched this year).
Thank you. Thank you. MUCH appreciated. Superb images. 🙏
How many tracks will the new bridge have?
Two. From what I read, there will be two bridges built. Portal Bridge North and South. Each will have 2 tracks, based on what I've read.
@@TheRailwayDrone yes the plan is to build two bridges, and each will have two tracks. Love your videos. Please keep doing them
@@user-bj6rx1uj1b Thank you so much! I absolutely intend to keep doing them.
I'm curious to know if there are expansion joints on each of those sections?
I actually was wondering the same thing. In my next vid, I'll zoom into the bridge deck to see if that's the case.
There has to be expansion joints. That's what you're seeing between the sections. Basics of bridge design.
Good progress, change the thumbnail. The previous videos thumbnail was good.
Thanks. I'll keep the thumbnail I have. I don't want to use the same one every time.
They really should keep some of the portions of the old tracks as a staging area to hold one or two extra trains during peak hours. It could be its own holding-yard to increase capacity during extra-heavy travel times or during transportation emergencies.
The long-term plan is to build a second twin-track bridge on the footprint of the old bridge (when funding is available). It’s not really in the right spot for train storage, too remote of a location, and they don’t want slow- moving trains entering or exiting there and eating up the capacity of this twin-track bottleneck
Your Portal Bridge Replacement video is one of the best showing what has been done. Please update regularly so that we can see progress. Dont understand why the Gateway Development Commission doesn't have a construction update website.
I REALLY appreciate the complement. I will definitely post updates.
@@TheRailwayDrone Excellent video - please do more of them.
Terrific work, thank you!
Thank YOU for watching sir.
A lot of oil and contaminants in the water.
We've polluted the shit out of this world.
Wow💛🧡🧡🧡💛💚💚💚💛
Thanks so much!
3:35 what is this massive cement structure under the right of way?
I was wondering the exact same thing. I'll try to find out my next update video.
@@TheRailwayDroneim guessing a bridge abutment and future interlocking for the underpass being built within that 'X clearing'... the underpass is visible on the bridge animation.
It is some sort of underpass - would like to understand why they need it
Hello gents, that would be Wall C (1 of 4 walls being constructed on the Portal North Bridge project) It's located on the west side of the project in Kearny, N.J. adjacent to National Water Main. It consists of pre fabricated wall panels along with a low density cellular concrete as a backfill to provide a sturdy foundation for the cut in from the old track to the new alignment. #civilengineering #onlocation #scottmaasmedia
Kind of interesting which piers they're formed and haven't formed yet.
Yeah I know nothing about construction so I do not know their modus operandi. Hopefully things continue to move at as quick a pace or quicker.
So glad this is finally getting done. Can't wait until they span the river. This is the best footage I've yet seen about this project. Nice work
I really appreciate the complement. My goal is to film the same location each quarter. Hopefully that'll provide the necessary information as to how far this project has moved.
@@TheRailwayDrone Looking forward to it!
Great footage.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
this is one of the reasons I chose cadets last year, they got some kick ass shows from every decade
Great video TDM! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you sir!
All I get are frieght trains in my neck of the woods for the most part. Cool to see passanger trains still exist. 😂 Thanks for the sub! 👊
NO problem!
Beautiful work!
You are too kind. Thank you so much! I intend to post an update after next weekend.
@@TheRailwayDrone cannot wait to see it! I am working on my next one too! 😃👍
@@FJDad777 I'm looking forward to posting it. I'll definitely check yours out as well!
@@TheRailwayDrone right on, thanks! 😃🤝 👍
Thanks... this video is way better than anything produced by Amtrak.
Thanks! Just wanted to show the progress.
🇮🇪 brilliant video sharing very good scenery
Thank you so much!
Those ACELAs look so awesome. Have you ridden on them?
Unfortunately not as they're still not in service.
thanks to crappy french company alstom@@TheRailwayDrone
@@lalakerspro I didn't make the train. I only recorded it. Go to Alstom's website if you want to complain.
yea thats what i meant, the train wasnt made good. Of course your videos are good, i was just referring to how the train was made@@TheRailwayDrone
Cool video, looks like a big project. Do you like your DJI Mini4? I have the Mini2, have been thinking about upgrading.
Yeah this is for a bridge on the Northeast corridor that leads into NYC. The old bridge opens too frequently and gets stuck causing delays way down here to DC. I LOVE this Mini4. The upgraded sensors are awesome and I haven't run into anything yet (so far).
So when are they starting service on these new trains?
2038.
I believe that’s Matt Harloff being Matt Harloff 0:10
Pretty sure he still moves like that too 😂
Matt Harloff was involved in Cadets 98? didn't know. I only know he's Crown, and was the dm in Star 93 (and their fabulous alumni 2010 stuff, which amazes me just as 93 did.)
awesome video
Well thank you very much.
wow..amazing capture friend
Wow finally a train that looks like Japan in the US they have the best transit systems in the world and we don't it's sick that it's true but with all these new high speed train investments hopefully by time I'm dead we will be where Japan is today
I think I've found the perfect RUclips channel: someone who marched Cadets in 2000 and who is a railroad enthusiast like me!
You might be right!
When will the original Acela trains will be retire? it’s because I’m almost 16 and I really want to ride on the original one before it retires
I think all the new Acelas will be on the tracks by the end of 2024 which leaves the old ones to retire by then.
@@TheRailwayDrone Alright, thanks for the information
@@RailBet Not a problem.
thx for your vid but it's better if you get on the train and film the new comfort to your desired destination and feel the high speed under your feet ;)
Unfortunately I was unable to do that because it is not in revenue service.
Did a ttc executive go to amtrak?? 2 years ago these were supposed to go into service, so was line5
They needed to make the trains backward-compatible (!!!) with the NEC. Sounds ridiculous, right? Yes. I agree.
@@TheRailwayDrone b r u h
@@TheRailwayDrone canada is probably *worse* because we dont have anything track to backwards compatible it to, our new train sets were delivered on freight tracks so they will work on freight tracks
The train looks real nice, what I found ridiculous is the huge delay of the trains entering revenue service
The new acelas look gross, no cap
I can't do anything about that. I still like the interiors. I just wish the coaches were flush with the power cars like it's sister in France.
Why they still called Acela a high speed train. I took it once and it was slow.
👍💥💯
Glennis to your left!
I wish the best to you guys in the East coast! When AL is done, I will fly their to ride it! We Californians have been building our HSR Package 1,2,3,4 for a very long time and our representatives in Sacramento are engaged in power grabs. 15 years and we have not laid one foot of rail, we have grading and viaducts and half a bridge to show for! Somebody up there, please help us!
This project has only been in the construction phase for 7 years. Mind you, any other developed country would have finished it by now, but you also have to take into account that your fellow citizens have been fighting against progress as they have tried to stop the project at every turn. By the way, there are more than just viaducts and half a bridge. Plenty of videos on youtube show how much work has been done. It's really cynical and unfair to claim this project is a waste of time and has no progress, when there are construction workers who get up daily to build this project so that people like you can ride it in the future. You should be more excited than you are now. YOUR railway will be a modern high speed railway unlike anything we have on the East Coast; we're still riding on a 20th century railway, while waiting for a new train that had to be made "backward compatible" with the Northeast Corridor. Cheer up. The CAHSR project will be a great system, and I am certain Californians will be proud when it's complete.
saw three seconds and guessed it was Stonehenge. Love it when I'm right.
Now we just need the tracks and stations to go with it!
Good camera work. I was able to get a real sense of walking around.
Wow, thanks a lot!
And to top it off no annoying synthesizer base or otherwise trying to be a filler
Hope all the details will be solved and AVELIA Liberty will be in full service soon .
Hermoso hermoso ese tren como quisiera que ese tren benga al Ecuador para ver si sube las cordilleras del Ecuador pero los gobiernos ladrones de mi pais no asen nada x sacar adelante al Ecuador
Lo más probable es que tenga un ferrocarril que atraviese esas montañas, ya que los trenes de alta velocidad no funcionan muy bien en las montañas.
😥😓😪
Am I so old that this was recorded the summer I learned to march? Sophomore in HS (my hs was only 10-12th grade)...THIS is the quality of our videos from then? LOL dang. I wanted to be good enough to audition for any corps but, alas, doomed to be mediocre at playing even though I was good at marching.
Incredible. I watched the cadets for the colorgaurd and marching.
Awesome video my friend ❤️ 🇮🇳
Thanks!
i just went to ny on weekend and took gen 1 when will this one start to hit the rails? the gen one is like a plane from 2000... they sadly aren't being kept up very well
The new ones won't be in service until the fall of 2023...a full 2 years late.
@@TheRailwayDrone I had sound off watching. why was this one at the yard? Thanks for capturing video
@@dj-ez4yf It was at Union Station heading back to Philly.
I was seated about 15 yards to the left of the person who shot this video...
Then, I was blowing my horn right at you lol...
door was opened, should sneak in lol
I thought about it lol...
She is here today?
She is.
The front looks like a spike! Cant wait to see it myself!
