- Taken aboard Northeast Regional 190, Amfleet I 81544, on 6/25/24, with Veterans ACS-64 #642 Leading
Overall pretty satisfied with how this turned out. Unfortunately I was not allowed to physically stand in the vestibule after New Haven so the video turned out to be out of focus east of Providence but still better than nothing at all. Ride from Back Bay to South Station is side view so as to not interfere with the turnaround process at South Station. The shore line section turned out especially nice with plenty of relaxing ocean views. All interlockings, grade crossings, and passenger stations identified along with corresponding mileposts. At low speed we were able to hear the horn on 642 as an extra bonus!

Thanks for the great video in 1999 between Christmas and New Year's I took a train from St Louis to Chicago to Boston to New York City back to Chicago and back to St Louis I was on these tracks at night so I got to see what I missed thanks for the great video
I also learned about the Lakeshore railroad museum camera from watching your videos
nice!
5:37 finally got the new switches in for the eastbound bypass! Looks like they still gotta install the switches leading up to it tho.
WOW, what a beautiful vid!
I can se a lot of the new Catenary poles on the Amtrak Hellgate line have been activated.
yep, they're doing a lot of work to bring Metro-North into Penn Station
What train can I get a coach rear view south out of Albany. I may have to take a train down from Vermont in August.
290, 1246, or 68. if they wye 290 or 1246 at Albany like they did when I attempted it you're out of luck but they only do that if they have to remove a P42. 68 leaves too late to see anything. they might also say it's a crash hazard and not let you stand back there which happened to me on this ride. I haven't done the empire corridor yet so I don't know how the crews are.
Nice video. 😊😊😊
Amtrak needs to upgrade the line between NYC and New Haven as soon as possible. 2 hrs to travel 80 miles is unacceptable and downright embarrassing for America.
preaching to the choir here! MTA owns the trackage though and they’re super underfunded so there’s nothing Amtrak can do unfortunately.
You made a rear view NY- Boston, Alan Fisher made a rear view NY- Washington, now theirs a rear view of the whole NEC!!
Nice! I was trying to see where the new third track sections will be on the Hell Gate Line, but it was difficult. MP 97.6 is Fitter Interlocking. The track work was done last fall, but for some reason running the signals is taking a while. Hopefully it will be commissioned soon, before construction on the Conn River Bridge starts.
good to know! yeah it’s hard to see where they’re gonna add the 3rd track on the Hell Gate Line
@@nathanjiang100FY23 was also supposed to see the construction of VELTRI interlocking around MP 133 east of Mystic to break the distance between GROTON and HIGH, but it seems that hasn't happened.
@@connecticutmultimodaltrans8226 yeah this was shot a few days ago so it’s pretty much the most up to date you can get
any idea on the interlocking and milepost (NYS) at timestamp 17:39? it's currently under construction. seems like the 3rd track will be constructed between the fence and the catenary support posts but I don't know for sure.
@@nathanjiang100that’s Leggett interlocking.
Yeah Nathan you even captured the video from the davisville Rhode Island camera that used to be a members only camera but now it's back up for everyone they really blow by that location blink and you miss them
when you shoot a video it's all timestamped so I just pull up the timestamp of that spot and then find it on the livestream.
@@nathanjiang100 yeah it wasn't on your video it was on the live camera today when I was watching it I commented on it in the chat just now turned it back on after a couple hours looks like they fixed it earlier today they had a black and white screen and it was all distorted Guess they were having problems with the internet or something but it's working well now. That's the Greenwich Rhode Island camera That's a pretty busy spot. I never knew about that camera until I saw it on your video thanks Nathan
Good Monday afternoon Nathan. This was really a outstanding video when you got past Providence and said you couldn't fix the camera focus it was still pretty good no complaints I was wondering if you would show the train as it was going past the VRF cameras and you did Plus one I didn't know about railside live New London camera. Just last week retired rail fan did a video right there riding the ferry from Long Island over there that was a good video also. I always mention you to him when I send a message both of you guys are outstanding. I am a little confused right now watching railside live East Greenwich Rhode Island every time I hear a train pass nothing is there where the camera is and then later on here comes a train with no sound it's like video and audio are out of sync.
when I synced the feeds based on timestamps for that camera it made no sense so that was the one cam that I kinda made an educated guess with as far as feed placement. yeah retired railfan was there the same day I went to Boston and he caught my return train #2193 so when that comes out you'll probably see his clip there.
This is awesome to see its incredible how the engineering and structures are still there for the Northeast corridor from NYC to Boston granted the New Haven to Boston section being newer. Also curious on the New London Station in which is the third track going to be electrified since it was shown on an Amtrak official document of construction but nothing has happened there? Which is weird doesn't it disrupt service on the NEC Amtrak services and SLE?
your guess is as good as mine
Great video cabbing
@51:01 Why is there a gap there? Do the trains just lower the pantographs and coast across?
so the bridge can move easier. note that the catenary is raised to allow the pantographs to spring to the highest setting without hitting anything and the train coasts across the power gap.
Have you considered the use of a scanner to pick up communication between the engineers and conductors, also messages from the defect detectors?
i have one on order, should be coming soon!
22:00 is that gonna be a section of triple track for Penn access?
yeah
Are the ramps that stick over the platforms at some of the stations be removed… Tony.
at renovated stations yeah
The age of the infrastructure is really showing. Meanwhile Japanese railways built in the mid-1800s look brand new
Metro North can’t bother maintaining their trackage properly
Oh yeah recently when you made a trip to Florida I had thoughts of going down to the Orlando Amtrak station maybe get a chance to say hello to you I know you usually get out and walk around and film the train I believe that's a smoke stop maybe a crew change. I am about 15 to 20 minutes from the Orlando Amtrak Depot
I had to use the restroom then get right on the bus to Tampa, was not in a position to meet anyone with all my stuff as well lol. but I announced the Florida trip in my community posts.
@@nathanjiang100 Yes Nathan that's where I saw it wanted to drive down to the station just to have the chance to meet you but I didn't go maybe sometime in the future You come back quite often
probably once or twice a year, and if I'm going down with other people I won't be taking the train
Let me know where you
Might be for Cannonball this week
yeah sure, probably around Sayville or Patchogue bc it’s a similar longitude as stony brook. not sure if it’s possible to walk to Bayport from the two stations.
@@nathanjiang100 it’s kinda far. Would go to whichever. You go to school at Stony Brook?
@@3985uprr my mom went to school there so we go often.
T@@nathanjiang100Stony Brook yes. The birthplace of Blue Oyster Cult.
