Railfanning Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. Some special loco’s. 11/21/23

- We spend the afternoon and evening railfanning, two of the busiest stations in the country.  We catch a variety of trains at Pennsylvania Station, including the newly painted Atlas unit for New Jersey Transit, and Grand Central Terminal ( don’t ever call it anything else or bad luck and misery will follow you).  Here we catch several Heritage Locomotives such as one of the New Haven engines, the Conrail Heritage #201, and the Beach Ball #208.  I’ll have to hope to catch the New York Central Heritage locomotive #211at a later date. We end the video with a snazzy musical tribute to the trains that we have seen under the streets of New York.

Thank you very much for your videos. GREAT STUFF.
Major respect for NJT for the hometown paint scheme!
Thanks for another great video. You got a lot of the heritage engines and the new NJT Atlas engine that looks really good. I liked seeing the variety of all the railroads and you taking the time to identify where they were coming or going to.
Wow you found the atlas train. Only you would be the guy to find it lol going to the Raratan line right now to catch it thank you
It's apparently out of service already for mechanical issue
@@_mynewcareer i waited it didn’t come bummer. Did see some trains though. How will we know when back in service?
On the 'Raritan Line' because those trains use 'dual power'.
@@295g295 cool is it back in service?
Great variety of trains and locos. Thanks Tim👌💚
That Conrail heritage unit does look great. I think I would have done Conrail blue for the font on the nose to stand out against the yellow background. However, it still looks great.
Very Cool Atlas Locomotive! I wonder if NJT has one for Athearn, another good model railroad manufacture. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your kinfolk!
Atlas sponsored that paint job.
Im visiting New York next March. My first time in the States as well.
Hope you enjoy your visit. Everybody should go to New York at least once.
Great video! Loved the heritage units. You’ll get the NYC unit eventually. I have a friends that wanted to get all the NS heritage units and it took him a whole year to get the ERIE unit and he went out ALL THE TIMEA!
Just now checking this video out, very good stuff. Love that Atlas paint scheme on that NJ Transit ALP-45DP.
And it’s DCC equipped! Must have a bigger remote than usual to operate that thing… 😂🤣
Was 283 a P32 that used the third rail at the station?
Nice video. That Atlas loco was DCC Equipped@
Nice‼️
Woo!
Nice video
Thanks for the awesome views of 4503.
Atlas engine was cool great catch
In comparison amtrak and LIRR metro north TRAINS are nice and clean NJT look very dirty. Atlas company still in Hillside NJ. Very great catch of tht Atlas loco
i like the atlas 4503 100Th Anniversary 😎
I must of just missed you today! I was at Hoboken and then went to Grand Central Terminal before going down to Penn Station. I caught the Atlas engine earlier at Secaucus and it's a beautiful paint job. They even made a model of it.
Didn't see any of the other heritage locomotives other than the disco stripes painted NJT locomotive on the NE Corridor. Well always a next time to catch the heritage locomotives of NJ Transit and Metro North.
I did get to see some of the GP-40PH'S and F40's along with a New York and Atlantic freight at Jamaica
cool
Very cool
Was just heading outta Penn yesterday!
The Amtrak engines that goes to Albany and Niagara Falls are they dual power diesel and electric? Because I believe I seen by the wheels thing the for the third rail on one of the Amtrak engines and thanks for the amazing video
Yes
Amtrak is buying a fleet of dual mode engines to avoid expensive and time consuming equipment changes in places like Washington, D.C., New York City, Harrisburg, etc.
Thank you for your efforts. Metro North equipment and windows are kept so clean compared to NJ Transit. You can't see out NJ Transit windows.
[30:46] [37:06] Passengers may want to reserve roomette sleepers on these. 🤣
I went on the 1:40!
When is the MNR extension to NYP supposed to be done? Because I kept hearing things about it and was wondering if that was even really happening
Not for a few years, it seems
I have been told, but not recently, that diesel only engines were not allowed in GTC or in Penn Station. Was that ever true or have things changed? Love your videos!!
Things seem to have gotten a bit more relaxed on that subject. Often the locomotives in E modes fail, and they have to switch to diesel power.
Thank you sir. Makes sense. Thank you for the quick reply.
9:02, Spirit of Fred Adams!!!
Glad you got my notification about the Atlas Model Train paint job on NJT engine 4503...... even though you deleted my posting.
I don’t recall deleting it, but my apologies.
I wonder when Metro North will get their M9s? I'm guessing after LIRR gets all of there's right?
Possibly
Does Metro North still use those cyclops comet cab cars in your intro? I thought they went the way of the do-do
I wonder where the bell that rings is located. On the locomotive or the first car. I just can't figure it out !
Usually under the front of the body, and some of them are electronic
Thanks! I couldn’t figure it out!
Hey Tim, have you ever considered rail-fanning in South Florida? There’s been a lot of action there recently with Tri Rail refurbishing their F40s and Brightline finishing up the Orlando extension.
Don’t know when I’ll go there
Harlem 129 to White Plains. Hilarious. You missed your calling as a "standup".
I don’t get your comment. Did I say 129??
Penns?
