- This video shows Amtrak, Septa and NJT action around Philadelphia's 30th street station in the early 1990's. 30th st. is a two-level station across the Schuylkill River from center city Philadelphia. The upper level is served by SEPTA for its regional rail system. The lower level is served by Amtrak Northeast corridor trains, Keystone line trains and NJ Transit's Atlantic City line trains. This footage was taken in several locations in and around the station and the north end clips contains some last runs in April of 1995 when budget cuts ended Amtrak's Atlantic City trains and the Montrealer. Both the Swedish X-2000 and German ICE trains are also seen. Not all trains are timestamped as the list would be pretty long, however I did mark some of the more interesting trains seen.

Dave. Listen to me. YOU ARE THE MAN!
If you ever made DVDs of these I would buy them, and I don't even buy DVDs.
Your videos are like time capsules. BRILLIANT.
@@NortheastTrainMan thanks for the kind words! It's amazing how much has changed in 30 years.
I love that this has the ICE and the X2000. My Amtrak in New England 90s video definitely has these same vibes!
This is super helpful for research towards the development of my Northeast Corridor game on Roblox. Thanks!
@@buildintotrains thank you, and good luck!
No way they caught the ICE test train
@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 we sure did. Its also seen on one of the Frankford jct videos........twice

@@DavidPaul-dh5iu yep im that dumb enough to not see the first bits of the video
Good video, like .
@@ЛЬВИНИ thank you!
It’s a shame, Amtrak. It didn’t keep the Atlantic City run.
@zazaranger5 I don't think they ever properly marketed it, There should have been something where the casinos were involved, and slot dollars were part of a ticket. It's a shame because the richmond train really was the best of the bunch, During this spring and summer the train was 6-7 cars. It was really too close to philadelphia to pull people out of their cars and ride the train.
Nice video, but how do you know which train is going where? They all look the same to me.
@joea7763 thank you, just years of watching them, plus some notes.
Spot Amtrak 262 or 312.
Oh Amtrak basically had their own version of ACES except it originates from Philadelphia? to Atlantic City.
@Touchybanana They had trains from Washington, Richmond, Philadelphia, and Springfield MA via NY. They ran from May 1989 until April 1st 1995.
Where are they now?
