1990s Northeast Corridor Run-bys

A few Amtrak and Septa Run-bys at Torresdale Station in 1990, 1992, and 1995. Filmed by my Dad when I was just a tiny little railfan.

Wasn't this before almost all the trains were grouped into the Northeast Regional brand?

That first train... wow, 13 Amfleets... that's a long train. Gotta feel bad for those in the dead middle of the train having to walk to EITHER END to get to a cafe car.

I'm just curious were any of those locomotives numbered 900.

[@markstecyna5515]

Doubtful as #900 was destroyed in 1987
