Whew! That guy had that puppy going nearly 100 mph. Fastest I've ever seen on an FL9. Impressive. Easily equal to the turboliners which could barely top 100. Fastest I've seen on the turbos was 101.
Greetings from California! Did VHS Camcorders started to exist during the late 1970s based on the Cameras during broadcast like at the 1976 Daytona 500 and the TV Shows What’s Happening & Good Times or did they start to exist in 1980?
@@EDOTrains My Dad was up in Albany back in the 80s. He ran the Adirondack. I would love to see all the footage. Wonder if 345 or 348 is in one of them
@@robertv.briscoejr.4816 This is all the footage we have from this trip. Did you see the part with the engineer? A Google search of that engineer's name came up with a forum post that named the other Adirondack engineer. I can't remember what year the forum post was ref'ing.

not sure, but this was good ol' Betamax, not VHS
Early 1980s. Professionally made TV shows weren’t shot on VHS camcorders, lol.
You have anymore of this era with Amtrak in Albany
maybe a little bit. Definitely have more of this era of Amtrak across Upstate
@@EDOTrains Nice, I would love to see them

What hype of horn is that? A K5LA?
should be. Was pretty standard on American-built Amtrak stuff, post-1975
It's a wide font K5LA, completely different (and much better!) tuning than the modern raised letter K5LA you hear on most stuff nowadays.
Great video. I've subscribed to your channel and would appreciate same. Thanks.
