I used to go to Harrison PATH Station to watch the GG1s in the afternoon before and during rush hours - and well before the parking structure was built. Thanks for the memories!! Great video!
This was a great video showing the New Jersey/New York section of the busy Northeaster Corridor! Very nice vantage shot with a wide panorama view but just a bit too long for my taste but enjoyable nonetheless! Thanks Fan Railer. This could go into a train museum or time capsule for history's sake!
It looks like this video was recorded at a safe area, maybe an area for railfans to watch the trains go by. I'd like to be there someday, as I'm a railfan.
29:43 NJT is coming from the rightmost Amtrak track, and then cuts over to the center track over the west span Passaic River bridge. All the eastbound trains eschewed that rightmost/east Amtrak track, and took the center track towards Manhattan. Did this train come from Hoboken ? Forgive me; I'm a babe on New Jersey track operations, but would love to learn it. From a track operations viewpoint, this location is EXTREMELY INTERESTING. Aarre Peltomaa p.s. I took the PATH in 1974, when I spent a month in NYC; that thing was like a rocket ! It was fast.
The cab car shortage is due to PTC installation. It's gonna stay this way until December at least. Feels like German DB trains. Whenever they operate two motors on a Inter Citry train for various reasons, DB also prefers each end one class 101 instead doubleheaders even if the cab cars are there and actually work - just not with three ZWS and WTB-computers and they also have speed restrictions to 100 mph when two pantographs are up with less 200 meter / 218 Yards gap. Minimal 7 cars between required for higher speed. So there this is guite common.

2:57 That is one badass shot! 3 trains at a time
Totally
Very homesick looking at this!! Been away from NYC almost 20 years, and I felt I was back in the area. Great job!!!
About 15 years for me...funny because growing up in NYC never really thought about Jersey like that
Isn’t this place in New Jersey though?

The NJT sections of the NEC make for the best railfanning. They run the most trains, and the most interesting trains fo all the commuter services.

For this weekend, between 33rd and Christopher Street Stations, there's a temporary shut down for train work or PTC upgrading
It’s crazy how tiny the PATH trains feel compared to the NJT and Amtrak trains
They were converted MTA R160s, thats why :)
@@bistroofdoom2651 they are not converted tho
Yes, it is crazy...especially because of the fact that they ALL ride on the same size track gauge!
I know I need to go back to film there. That location is amazing for higher up shots!
38:50 And another one from the same track. From the yards ? Or Hoboken, NJ ? Aarre Peltomaa
oh yeah if you didn't know I peeped all the trains far back coming towards Newark Penn and Harrison and peeped the ones going towards Broad st station
Thank you for sharing this. Great video
Hello, this is very similar to Chicago's CTA System. Have you been to Chicago to film?

Nice overview!
Nice position for look trains over pass ......
Great shots Fan Railer.
With CBTC cutover can the PA4 work motors still operate? (much like the R62A work motors on the 7 are restricted to overnight hours)
Kevin Wong ye only for construction
Nice Video. I caught the R179 testing on the C line on Thursday and Friday. Did you happen to catch it?
Impressive captures
Tell that guy to the right of you to get his own railfanning spot :P
Is this East Rutherford
I think I see Giants stadium in the back round.
No its Harrison its right across the river from Newark.
That's the Red Bulls Stadium
38:49 - I wonder... why that ALP-45DP didn't use the electric mode?
It’s probably heading to a different line
That was the Raritan Valley Line.
another level of heights. would be scared af
Is that Nick G in the frame at 8:31???
Harrisonliardi
Great video !
Nearly got busted when I was on the PATH.
How though
Path trains have great horns, ahh yes the WABCO-AA2
Great location
New PATH platforms?
The platforms been there for a while now
There extend Harrison platforms on both sides to extend more trains to 7 or 8 cars
2:31: Burp!? What was that!?
lol my friend
I love the video!!!
I see a huge flock of geese!
Why are the trains NO PAX
Train Man East Coast do you mean NO PASS
This video is a real-life version of one of those dream model railroad layouts where four trains are running at once.
Lots of arrow IIIs
