I remember when I came down in November 2000 when they constructing Secaucus Junction Station, WOW 😮!!! Great Footage & I come this way 2 times a year on vacation, can’t beat the East Coast for trains 🚂 !!!
Nevermind! Asked and answered by the engineer in the video. "See that septa consist? Amtrak's borrowing it I guess, you know how they borrow the MARC equipment sometimes? Yeah they got a Septa train today"
This is fantastic, brings back early childhood memories!
I started riding this route back in 1999 when I was 5 years old so it always exhilarates to see old videos like this !

Hang on a SEPTA Bomber set at the Portal Bridge?
Can anyone give me more info about that Septa AEM7 leading comets past Rahway? I thought they only went as far as Trenton from Philly!

Do not miss that commute into NY
Was this filmed from the cab of an AEM-7 Loco, or the front window of a Silverliner? This was almost 30 years ago. Are you still a train operator?
Sounds like an Arrow III.
Arrow III. They could still run down to Long Branch before NJT changed the voltage. I forget if South Amboy or Matawan is as far as they can go now.
Video from cab of Arrow 3s.
Retired from NJT on 9/1/2011.
Voltage change from 11.000 volts.25 cycles to 25,000 volts 60 cycles at phase gap between Matawan Aberdeen and Hazlett.
"That Girl " section when it shows the parkway on the right !
Rode many times
Where's Secaucus Junction?
Wasn’t built yet
whats with the septa train?
Amtrak Thanksgiving Event To Borrow The Equipment
So back in 1997, this trip took half as long as it does in 2023? Way to improve service.

Why was a septa train going to NYC!?!?!?
Judging by the date in late November, probably an Amtrak Thanksgiving weekend extra with borrowed equipment.
@@ajp31 or a Clocker, which often borrowed commuter equipment.
