theres this one and another nearly 10hrsa. goin across the border. this one i love cause sergei rides it in coach/business. the backround noise keeps it real
@@yamahonkawazuki what I love about long train ride videos (especially if one rode on the actual train itself), it's pretty damn relaxing when checking out the scenery along the journey
and funny enough, after checking out his Philadelphia/Pittsburgh train ride video, I actually took that very same train out to Johnstown and did some sightseeing around the area
Love your videos Sergei. You have a finely developed skill for selecting just the right viewpoint, for following precisely where the train action is; in short you know what to look for and exactly how to capture that. Please keep taking these trips and keep us up to date with what is going on within the train and on the tracts. Thank you very much.
I love your videos! I can't get to ride a train, right now, but I hope to some day. It is like a tour guide video. Thank You! I rode a train, once, from N.Y. to St. Louis to go to boot camp. Overnight on a train is an incredible experience.
Oh wow RUclips just showed this to me. Love it. 172/173 are my trains of choice when I go to Boston from NYC every January for Arisia (a Boston area science, fiction convention).
Taken this train many times from Boston to ny and balt. Nice ride, good view of back alleys, minor league ballparks, old warehouses and small towns. America you don't see from an interstate or 25000 feet in the air. Also don't have to get to the station 2hrs early, wait in line for security and you can leave your shoes on. Grab a coffee and paper and head to the platform. Oh yeah, the seats are big enough for normal sized humans.
1 Thing I Definitely Have To State About This Amtrak NorthEast Regional #173 Is That Whoever The Conductor Is He’s Definitely Rolling & On Time For Destination Stop Along The Way No Delays No Nothing Purely On Time That’s How I Luv Riding Amtrak Without No Delay’s Whatsoever Cause Ain’t Nothing Worse Than Being Late 2 Ur Destination Period Anybody Can Definitely Tell U That
Sergei's notes indicate there are three different electric types used on this trip: (1) Boston to New Haven, (2) New Haven to NYC (Hell's Gate Bridge), and (3) from there to DC. I assume that # 3 was the Pennsylvania's choice of current, and # 2 was the current choice of the New Haven Railroad. My question is why the choice of current for # 1? That stretch's electrification started in 1996 (before that New Haven to Boston was diesel). Since nothing beyond New Haven was electrified, I'm hoping Sergie or someone else can explain why was a different type chosen for that route.
We did this ride a few years back, but were fortunate enough to be able to take Acela. If I had time to kill with nothing better to do, I would take the trip again just for the entertainment value, but would take a regional the next time.
Great video I rode this train last fall I went down to DC took 9 hours to get their .Amtrak was doing a lot of track work that day .It was last year 2015 .
BTW, thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking the time to tape the entire trip viewing out the window, and not your belt buckles view of your seat, opening vestibule doors, walking through the entire consist. I know what the inside of a train looks like!
Even with no ROW work, between New Haven and New York there are so many curves! The closer to NYC the worse it gets. Across Rhode Island the ROW is straight for mile after mile. The Acela does 150 through there, and a regular NEC train goes around 130!
You are an astute cameraman too ! You turned your camera for ... wye next to the mainline, curves observable to the left, and the Astoria BMT elevated line. I like a non-robotic cameraman ! Aarre Peltomaa P.S. I want to look at the B/C tunnel portal for the East Side Access project to Grand Central Station. They were taking forever to uncover it, and get the transformers out of the way. I haven't gotten there yet. I'm still on the Hell's Gate Bridge approach.
My house is at 52:51 (you would see it if you were looking out of the window on the right of the train). Right next to the tracks =) And I noticed at 53:55 you liked the 400ft windmill that is across from the Wickford Junction MBTA train station.
cActUsjUiCe- I once got a clear view into my own living room, while departing on a jet from the local airport. It was only for a few seconds, but I can only imagine what the view might have been at night with the lights on. Afterwards, I always closed the blinds when my girlfriend and I were making love on the living room floor. Seeing as we were on the top floor of a high rise apartment, she thought I was nuts, BUT... She wasn't on that flight with me that afternoon. Lol!
I enjoy taking this train when I've got to go from NYC to Providence but man, it just plods through Connecticut. Just ridiculous that CT, highest per capita income of any state in the country, and with thousands of residents who commute to NYC, can't see their way to upgrading the track. There are cars on I-95 passing it.
Hi sergei! Your videos are great, but I was wondering if you maybe show more shots of the cabin, seat, lounger car (etc.). It would give much more of a feeling as if we were their, then glued to the window
wow....New Haven would amaze me, because CRAZILY - for as far as the eye could see - that place so resembled that other cozily GINORMOUS zone of discard known as The Bronx....they levelled ALL that blight; gone!! 💥 _pooof_ 💥
So I'm watching an American train ride and what's the first thing I hear? People speaking Dutch. I don't think I've ever been on a train where I *didn't* hear anyone speaking Dutch.
TBH, HSR really only makes sense along the Northeast Corridor, because intercity rail makes sense with denser populations. A businessman in Boston would save hours riding the Acela to a meeting in DC, versus traffic in multiple cities, and preparing to fly there.
Great video. Thanks. The girl on the seat off you don`t like it. She looks a few time backwards. She is Dutch I think, I hearding someone dutch spoken. I am Dutch too. But A great video. Make more of these videos.
I think some of them do, depending on route. but when I last rode on Amtrak to Connecticut over 12-years ago, I think it bypassed (at least the train I was on)

What Is The Worst Amtrak Train Ride Especially With People Sitting In Front Back OR Beside U Experienced With This Situation Regardless Of Where UR Traveling To
Great Video! But I'm planning my. Take the Acela from Philadelphia to Boston and what memery card did for this? I'm planing to get the 128mb one but I love riding amtrak in very calm and relaxing. Thanks for posting this! You should also check out my channel
You can actually drive there an hour faster than taking the train, if you take the right roads to avoid the major urban areas or you take a plane to get there in less than an two hours. Probably closer to 4 with security. Still two hours faster than a train. And this was faster than most times. I had a friend take it from NYC to Boston three years and it took five hours due to a issue with the loco which could not exceed 70 MPH the entire way. No wonder why Amtrak is bankrupt and no one wants to fund it.
Downtown to downtown. No hassles with transportation, say from JFK airport to midtown Manhattan or Dulles to DC. When I went to college in DC and would go to visit family in NYC, when you added the commute time to both airports, the total time traveling was very similar, less than a half hour, and the train was more comfortable.
I Definitely Have To Agree With U On This 1 Especially With Sergei Not Knowing How To Hold A Freaking Camera Without Bumping Into The Window Just About Every Other Time & His Little Sexual Breathing As Well The Video Would Be Very Perfect Without The Problem’s Sergei Kept Doing
The Issue I Have Is The Either Chinese OR Japanese People Sitting Behind Talking There Language Is Very Annoying PLZ People Speak Freaking English Is A Damn Good Reason Y’all Is Living Here In United States Speak Our Language Instead Damn Come On Now
You should try learning the language yourself missy, people tend to learn how to use capital letters correctly by elementary school. Honestly my 2 year old niece sounds more literate than you!

Wow this is so cool, a near 7 hour ride along the entire NEC section. I've always wanted to do this. Fantastic video!

and funny enough, after checking out his Philadelphia/Pittsburgh train ride video, I actually took that very same train out to Johnstown and did some sightseeing around the area
That's probably the best video on youtube! Thanks a lot!

Love the screeching sound at every station stop
Great ride- is one of my dreams take a journey from Boston to Washington by train on the NEC
GREAT video! Thanks! Got to see Madison, Guilford (where I live), Branford, and East Haven leading into New Haven.
I enjoyed the video very much and especially the conversation between the two Dutch girls
The best Amtrak ride video !. Like to see more. Great window pane view.
You are godsend man! Thank you very much, beautiful video!

I do enjoy the longer train rides, to be perfectly honest with you!!! that way, one could just take it all in and enjoy it
Great video I rode this train last fall I went down to DC took 9 hours to get their .Amtrak was doing a lot of track work that day .It was last year 2015 .
+Jim Marchand I was lucky. If my train had been delayed, it would have arrived at night. It was already getting dark when I arrived to DC.
+Sergei Gaidukov ice video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just liked.
Seems like a lot of slow orders south of New Haven to New York for ROW work. They were hauling ass out of Boston and across Rhode Island.

2:15:37 - 2:15:58 Nice catch with the Metro-North M2s and M4s prepped / waiting to be picked up for scrap.
At 1:24:40 you went through behind my railfan spot near my home in Groton CT. But it’s on the right side.
Hi sergei! Your videos are great, but I was wondering if you maybe show more shots of the cabin, seat, lounger car (etc.). It would give much more of a feeling as if we were their, then glued to the window
Good video to have in the background during work
Boy that train really hauls ass! I like how oncoming trains on adjacent tracks flash by
Great video ! Are U going to another Amtrak ride on Northeast Corridor ?. How bout DC to Richmond?. Great camera angle (the view inside).
wow....New Haven would amaze me, because CRAZILY - for as far as the eye could see - that place so resembled that other cozily GINORMOUS zone of discard known as The Bronx....they levelled ALL that blight; gone!! 💥 _pooof_ 💥
Major major props to you dude!
Love your videos!
So I'm watching an American train ride and what's the first thing I hear? People speaking Dutch. I don't think I've ever been on a train where I *didn't* hear anyone speaking Dutch.
And people speaking Mandarin as well, America is diverse
@@brianqi8741 really really really old New Yorkers haha
Must have been a dutch family aboard.

17:01 Route 128 is my home station!
great video
Have you ever thought about making some videos of Amtrak rides from stations south of Washington DC
Excellent !!! New Haven, not New Heaven (typo). Thanks so much. Aarre Peltomaa
Nice train, Sergei:-) Warthog is AWESOME:-))
Every time I take the North East regional I always take it from province to new Carrollton Maryland the stop before Washington DC
Meet Regional 170 @42:36
Great video. Thanks. The girl on the seat off you don`t like it. She looks a few time backwards. She is Dutch I think, I hearding someone dutch spoken.
I am Dutch too.
But A great video. Make more of these videos.
i going to make this ride next month i am going down to Baltimore
Didn't your hand get tired from holding the camera? or is it stuck to the window?
I thought all Amtrak trains stopped at Trenton.
I think some of them do, depending on route. but when I last rode on Amtrak to Connecticut over 12-years ago, I think it bypassed (at least the train I was on)
Conductor: “No loud conversations”
Passengers: *literally all start talking louder*
The conductors, right
Will there be more Amtrak videos
I notice that the station signs indicate NEW HAVEN whereas you text says NEW HEAVEN.
Why is there no stop at Trenton? I thought all Northeast Regional trains stopped there.
Collin Parsons Trenton generates very little Southbound evening traffic, so most Acelas and a handful of Regionals skip it.
What is your top three favorite Amtrak's?My is 1. Coast Starlight 2. Empire Builder 3. Southwest Chief
Why not cab ride view from front side i.e. from the engine driver's cabin?
Yeah next time you're on a train why don't you barge into the drivers cab with your camera
Wow and they don’t give u ads

Great video. Are you going to do and updated trip with the new seats ?.
Question Amtrak’s Northeast Regional can make all the stops without skipping during service?
I think amtrak at some point should replace the Amfleet cars with either viewliner passenger cars or the double decker bombardier/Alstom coaches
I'm gonna start calling it New Heaven now lol
wow...fresh outta Philly stn and you're totally unfazed by that sci fi-looking elevated city intersection trackside..oh well
What Is The Worst Amtrak Train Ride Especially With People Sitting In Front Back OR Beside U Experienced With This Situation Regardless Of Where UR Traveling To
you must make a polfilter before the lens. greeting reymund
What was the highest speed ever recorded on the Northeast Regional? 120 or 130mph?
125 Is the maximum speed in revenue service.

any immigration checkpoints from NYC to DC?
Jose Uras nope those are at the point of entry at the border
Their all in the US so why would they have check points?
@@danielsmith8111 interstates in the SW within about 100 miles of Mexico border have checkpoints.
WingsFan 14 that’s to prevent illegal immigration D.C and NY aren’t near any borders bruh
@@danielsmith8111 duh. Your comment asks why have a checkpoint inside the US. And we do. And lol if you don't think there are illegals in NY
why didn't it stop is westerly ri
Liam J mbta and rail fan Not a lot of people get on there all the time, so some trains skip it.
is that long it is from boston to dc?

why would you move the camera when you have a great view of the world trade center?

Haha I hear Dutch in the background
You forgot Trenton
wish we could see the girls that were filming
Meet another regional 6:05:18
Why is this train going 120mph if it can go 150 mph
Only the Acela will reach 150MPH. The Regional trains top out at 125
oo la...so! the lonesome goal behind all that Acela crap has merely been to skirt traveling with the ordinary public...oo la

NYC-DC is competitive with flying and faster than driving. NYC-BOS much less so since you've got a lot of slow segments in Connecticut.
Downtown to downtown. No hassles with transportation, say from JFK airport to midtown Manhattan or Dulles to DC. When I went to college in DC and would go to visit family in NYC, when you added the commute time to both airports, the total time traveling was very similar, less than a half hour, and the train was more comfortable.
