Good morning Mike, fantastic pictures of the Amtrak trains at the Northeast Regional. Very interesting trains and great landscapes. Thank you very much for showing it and best regards from Germany.
I live in a city on the NE Regional. I take it when I want to solo travel to DC or NYC. Charlottesville has the Cardinal also run through my hometown as well. It’s nice seeing the Chicago bound train pass through every so often
I dream to ride every Amtrak train in its entirety. As someone who lives in California, the Northeast Regional is super annoying because of all the different branches. I can’t do the entire route in one shot!
The tracks in place today were planned, purchased and built well over one hundred years ago. Growth of population and commerce grew exponentially with less and less land available to lay track in a consistent plan for freight and passenger service. It is just the reality of the geographic region. Similar restrictions apply to vehicle road travel. Many cart paths trodden down since 1776 have been paved over to provide vehicle access with no real route planning.
I'm a Virginia native, so I see these trains a lot. I've also had the pleasure of riding on a few, but a lot less frequently than I'd like to! Edit: It's been fun seeing many of the locations I've been to in this video!
Great work with the train videos! Your ability to tell stories and bring interesting aspects of the train world closer to viewers is amazing. I've subscribed and will eagerly await your next posts. Keep it up!
Hi Mike Armstrong this is Isaiah wiley from myrtle Beach south Carolina saying great job on your amtrak northeast regional video you are the best at amtrak video making keep up the great work sincerely your railfan friend Isaiah wiley from myrtle Beach south Carolina on RUclips. ❤😊.
I want to ride a Saturday only northeast regional that goes from Virginia to Springfield Massachusetts because it has two locomotive swaps on it's journey
Is the only reason they are going to start using dual mode locomotives because the freight railroads will not allow electrification, or did no one actually do a cost benefit analysis of electrifying those other routes versus the maintenance of the right of way and new heavier and more complex locomotives, versus running lighter weight and simpler electric locomotives over the entire region?
I don't know what studies have been done or not, but electrifying all those off corridor lines would take a lot of time and money. Some of these trains only run once or twice per day to certain destinations. The equipment needs to replaced soon and in lieu of having all electrical infrastructure in place, this is a good alternative. It also allows for all electric operation if wires are added to other routes in the future.
Love seeing one of the old Toasters on the NEC.
I was really glad I saw that one back in 2015! They were already getting rare at that point!
Mike never fails to impress us, with great train vids 🙂
You are too kind, thank you!

Great video on the north east region train
Thank you!
i really enjoy the amtrak trains. and living in chicago has probably done that to me if im gonna be real
They’re definitely neat to see!
I'm a Virginia native, so I see these trains a lot. I've also had the pleasure of riding on a few, but a lot less frequently than I'd like to!
Edit: It's been fun seeing many of the locations I've been to in this video!
I'd like to ride all of these routes at some point too! Would be fun to do.
I grew up in Woods Hole on Cape Cod, the end of the line for the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad. I wish I had become a Lady Train Engineer!
That's one part of Massachusetts I haven't been to yet! Hopefully soon.
Great work with the train videos! Your ability to tell stories and bring interesting aspects of the train world closer to viewers is amazing. I've subscribed and will eagerly await your next posts. Keep it up!
This video is nice! Ive always wanted to ride one of these trains, but i live in florida ;-; oh well!
Thank you! If you get a chance next time you're in the Northeast, you should!

Hey! Not yet, but I think they will be fairly soon.

Thanks for watching!
Nice when will you make a video on all the Atsf 3751 footage that you have
Hello Mike. Nice video. Where can I chat with you personally? I want to discuss trainspotting, growth on RUclips.
What is the locomotive #940 at the 8:20 mark? It's an electric but with no Amtrak markings on it.
When I see vidio, I want to support your million subscribers!
hi mike, the introhorn on this video, what video is ?
That is a recording of Coaster 2105’s original air horn from 2003.
I want to ride a Saturday only northeast regional that goes from Virginia to Springfield Massachusetts because it has two locomotive swaps on it's journey
Today is my birthday!
Happy Birthday!
