[@ericball6000]

[@railsidelive]

Very cool!

[@HarrisonPeloso]

I got the new train in Stamford on its return to NYC

[@timregan1005]

is the new acela running or is that a trial run?!?!?

[@OfficialETandM]

Will there be a cam here?

[@ronj9933]

Wonder if the dinging bells are really necessary. Sounds like the grim reaper is paying me a visit 😮

[@zostrelling_]

they are for safety reasons. it is extremely unsafe to enter a station or pass a crossing without ringing to bell. of the bell does not work they must do a sequence with their horn.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

Can someone tell me what the bell is for? I've always wondered this.

entering a station.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

@@timregan1005 You need a bell to enter a station?

[@zostrelling_]

​@@TheRailwayDroneyes, it is extremely unsafe to pass a crossing or enter a station without either blasting the horn or ringing the bell.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

@@zostrelling_ How is it unsafe to enter a station without ringing a bell? I've been on multiple trains in many different countries that don't do this.

[@zostrelling_]

@@TheRailwayDrone because you need to be making a constant sound so people can hear that the train is coming. this is why quiet zones are extremely unsafe and should all be revoked so all trains must blow a sequence.

[@3506Dodge]

I didn't see a single passenger. Do people still take trains?

[@timregan1005]

this camera is set up way out on the platform. i've been to south station my entire life, don't think i've ever walked out that far

[@GWM_Clips]

If you didn’t see a passenger coming into the train, it was probably cause that the train already dropped the all the passengers. Or something else
