    Well I arrived today 8/7 and scouted the platforms. Will spend all day 8/8 filming the action. Using my big cam on tripod. If you are around, I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you Fan Railer. Stop by and say Hi.

    Thanks for the tip about 90 degree heat affecting track speeds. I will definitely get an early start. Not sure what time the action starts. Any idea?

      The real meat of service starts around 6am and runs through till about 9pm or so.

      Morning Rush Hour starts around 6am then dies down around 11:30am, then starts back up again with Evening Rush Hour at 2:30-3pm and ends around 8:30pm.

    If you see a guy with a big camera and tripod, wearing a shirt that says We Film Trains, it will be me. Stop by and say hi. I plan on filming during morning and evening rush. Not sure of day yet.

    Planning a visit from Ohio to see high speed trains. Does Acela run through Elizabeth Station, or is Princeton the best place to catch the fastest trains? Thank you!!!

    • @FanRailer

      The acela does run through Elizabeth, but Princeton junction is the only station in NJ where you can see them running at 150 mph.

      @@FanRailer Thank you so much. You helped us plan our trip! My route will now include Princeton J because I definitely want to see the fastest trains. We will then head to Elizabeth for other (slower) angles. Then we are heading up the Hudson for MN trains.

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  Год назад +2

      Have fun! Just remember that if the weather gets over 90 degrees, there will be heat related speed restrictions. So best get to Princeton in the morning if you’re trip is going to be in the summer.

      @@paulmatulavich7321​​⁠Princeton Junction is the best station to catch high speed action along the Northeast Corridor. Especially for Acelas going 150Mph thru there. Other Amtrak trains like Keystones, Northeast Regionals, Cardinals, Pennsylvanians etc. going 125Mph and Silver Service trains and Crescent trains going 110Mph.

    I thought Amtrak was supposed to start using round wheels in 2023.

    do the top lights actually flicker on the ACS-64 or is it just the camera

      Shutter speed not matching so it has a flickering effect

    You should have also railfanned the Dinky while you were there.
