    Great job! Great place to watch trains. Allegedly Einstein would come here-taking a break from Princeton-and watch the parade...

      @HighIronProductions  4 года назад +3

      Amtrak usually operates a couple of MARC sets every Thanksgiving Sunday in order to add two extra trains to the schedule to meet demand.

    I wish the old Amfleet coaches would eventually be completely replaced by Viewliner-style rolling stock...

    • @HighIronProductions
      @HighIronProductions  5 лет назад +3

      Replace them with a reboot of a1980s design? No, thanks... their likely replacements are the Siemens cars similar to those on Brightline. Much more modern and stylish looking...

    Why is that Amtrak sprinter leading a ton of Marc coaches with a Metroliner cab car

    • @HighIronProductions
      @HighIronProductions  5 лет назад +3

      To cope with the higher demand on Thanksgiving Sunday, Amtrak leases two sets of MARC cars for additional capacity.

    Crumbling concrete not a big problem unless its at the edge of a platform and could end up with someone falling in front of a train. Quite sure the contractor was paid a kings ransom to install the platforms and should be made to fix them . Other than that great video.
