    I've ridden this line many times. Even commuted to/from Eddington (office park adjacent). Trenton makes, the world takes sign is a landmark.
    Thanks Tim💚👌

    I rode SEPTA from Trenton to Philadelphia back in May 2023. Enjoyed it as well as enjoyed my time in Philadelphia. Nice place and I wish to go back there in the near future.

    Trenton makes, the world takes. One of those unforgettable landmarks when crossing the Delaware out of Trenton.

    That was a very nice ride. I hope to go back to Philly sometime soon, and I plan on riding NJ Transit and SEPTA from NYP to PHL if I do. The Silverliner IV's are okay in my opinion, but personally, I like the Silverliner V's better, especially because of the front window seat. I hope I get one when I make the transfer at Trenton.

    I always found it amazing how Zoo interlocking was automated. I remember when manned those talented individuals were called "The Zookeepers." As technology further advances functionality, hopefully it will not totally replace the human side of the operations lest the railroad looses its soul.

    Hello from the UK I last travelled along this Route non stop DC to Newark train journey started from Greensboro after travelling on steam loco 611. Is that an Electric scooter I see at Bristol station? (In the UK they are banned on all trains as there considered dangerous due to a few having self ignited). Excellent clip I’ll be back in USA in May travelling on Empire Builder Seattle to Chicago then hopefully a Metra SD70

    As a mech for 35 years I reg in 08 just before those 5 really took over and the guys said they are terrible but my fav is the GE as railroaders called them not 4s

    • @3985uprr
      @3985uprr  10 месяцев назад

      Mechanically, they admittedly are not as durable as the GE’s but I’ll give them TLC as long as they are around.

    Tim, to give you an idea of how fast you were doing between Bristol and Croydon, the speed limit on US 13 is 40 mph.

      That’s a very fast section of track. We blew past Bristol Pike Lanes in a cloud of dust.
