You did god’s work. Nobody, and I mean nobody can even dream of having a driver’s cab view, with only the mercy of the driver and the company. I personally can’t thank you enough for just this one video.
I had no idea the transition from diesel to electric was actually totally automated like that. I figured you would need to manually shut down the diesels and raise the pantograph, but I guess that shows how far technology has come! Love the joke about the Susquehanna. That was a good one that only railroad men would get. 19:06 Look at that old tidewater tank car! Didn't know they still had any of them around in those parts. Actually, I only know of 2 offhand... One is at Strasburg Railroad and the other is at Pine Creek Railroad. Might be one at New Hope and Ivyland, not sure if it's a TWOX. They used to use them as fuel cars on the CNJ.
I love that you were able to get video from inside the cab, but please with the music. I want to hear the bell and the horn and the sounds inside the locomotive, not some 80's classical music.
awaiting my call to take my medical exam for NJT LETP ! really hope one day ill be doing this route ! BTW, you're crossing the naveskink river @ 8:54 not the shrewsbury..awesome video though !
Amazing video . One technical operative question ? : this train can be active the pantograph in the same time with the diesel motor electric group in on , both in operations .....or will can be change your configuration in motion ......
This is a good video in spite of two gripes: 1) I enjoy modern big band jazz music, but in this case it was very distracting and unnecessary. 2) The constant use of the zoom lens in the first half of the video was annoying to watch; it "slowed down" the train. The cab views were interesting and I learned a lot about how these dual-mode locomotives are operated. The engineer seems like a cool guy.
@@aydenamaya7951 It is weird. I figured it was a manager thing, but to say y'all do it is odd. I don't think I know anybody who wears gloves in the cab or while running. East Coat thing perhaps?
That fuddy duddy music is unbearable. Should morbid obesity, with its increased risk of apnea/blood sugar blackouts and sudden death from heart attack or stroke, be considered an operational as well as medical hazard?

This is an outstanding video! A must see for ALL railfans. Great video quality and great jazz. Keep 'em coming!

Just a word of advice, a video like this does much better without the music.
One of the best train videos I seen in awhile
Ahhh yes yes the north jersey costal line what would I do with out it been taking this train every day for the past 3 years never gets old
That was a fantastic production, thanks for sharing.
Seems like a interested job! Love the scenery!!
This is a great vid . Thx for w upload and shoutout to the engineer . This has giving me great insight on working for njtransit to become a engineer
Very, very well done! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you grew up the north Jersey coast, refreshing not having the delay at South Amboy to change to electric, a great trip down memory lane.
This is amazing! Thank you for posting this video!
That was a really cool ride along Jerry! Really neat seeing where all it travels 😊🔥👏👏👏
Delightful ! Thank you for posting .
Cool I always wanted to ride in the cab of a locomotive.
I wish i could go on a cab ride on NJ Transit's newest locomotive the ALP45A it would be an great experience
This was an excellent video and the music was perfect 👍👌
I love that you were able to get video from inside the cab, but please with the music. I want to hear the bell and the horn and the sounds inside the locomotive, not some 80's classical music.
Fantastic video but background music annoying. Would like to hear the actual road noise.
Awesome Video
Thanks.... love the music too !!!
Great video! Thanks!
Really enjoyed this
Awesome video, I for one enjoyed the Jazz
There a version of this video with just the raw audio and no music?
where
Great video, too bad the music ruined it
@@maxmasterson3804 exactly
Also the whole video and not 20 minutes of skipping everything
awaiting my call to take my medical exam for NJT LETP ! really hope one day ill be doing this route !
BTW, you're crossing the naveskink river @ 8:54 not the shrewsbury..awesome video though !
what was your resume, did you apply on line or mail. did u pass the interview...
@@nicksgarage8295 passed interview. they extended conditional offer which I accepted. just waiting to hear back from them to schedule my physical
How is it going so far?
Well done! Thanks!!
Great video!
I ❤ NJ Transit
9:20 I love the horn when he blew for the crossing
Cool. No stop at Secacus on the way to NYC Penn Station
Very unique video!
Antonio Jones The engineer also has a Mountain Dew LUCKEY :(
My dad is a conductor on the Port Jervis to Hoboken line
Fantastic
That K5LA is very sweet.. but it sounds like me trynna get spit out of my throat lmaooo
NJ Transit ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is the train that came to my hometown
I remember growing up in point pleasant it was the Pennsylvania railroad
Regarding that dual-mode train in front of you it's actually coming in from exit 18 Annandale station I-78 to New York Penn
Fred mattison works for metro north he was working for njt a long time.
He's a nice engineer
Amazing video . One technical operative question ? : this train can be active the pantograph in the same time with the diesel motor electric group in on , both in operations .....or will can be change your configuration in motion ......
Yes. This car have Dual Power mode.
@@tomjen74 Thanks for technical information !
My morning train to newark
Look closely when there’s an outside view of the train near long branch it’s 4532 so the video is from another video
The rolling stocks look much more modern than the MBTA vehicles.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
An old video, for the most part I did Like it, but the music was may to LOUD and I listen to 40s Junction on SiriusXm
What exactly is the music between 0:36 and 5:40, and between 7:50 and 9:17?
We need part two
that is so freaking cool...how'd you get into the locomotive?
Johnny Ponce he has set up a tour with the boss of nj transit rail (the engineer)
Supreme Railfan if I wanted to get a tour of the inside of the locomotive or cab car like this guy, how would I be able to do that?
Johnny Ponce you would probably have to contact the company, I’m not 100% sure
Supreme Railfan damn
Thought you couldn't use electric hold for braking
How where you aloud?
i used to live around there
I wish the music didnt exist, but very good
where is that yard at the end? always wondered where they go after penn station
Sunnyside yard queens
Could you upload a version without the music on please?
What does Fred do when he gets to New York?
He will go up onto the streets and get a bite to eat with the crew. The. he will return to his train for the service back
9:10 automatic horn?
no, horn foot pedal
CentralJerseyRailfan ooooooh now it makes sense
Europe: We have better breaks.
US: We don’t want to miss a stop!
Look the same coaches that Marc train has.
Yup, the newer MARC IV cars are the same Bombardier MultiLevel cars that NJ Transit uses.
it would be better if there wasnt jazz music blasting the whole video
I *HATE* the background music! Let me listen to that K5LA and E-bell!!!!!
i know right!
Please turn off the music. It ruined the video. What were you thinking
bro the music is unbearable. we want to hear the motors, horns, bells, and track noise as the train runs.
Covering the beautiful sound of the engine with music.... What a waste
Why this train driver is wearing gloves?
Very strange looking, I must say.
Greetings from european train driver.
It’s something that we do. No explanation for it.
@@aydenamaya7951 It is weird. I figured it was a manager thing, but to say y'all do it is odd. I don't think I know anybody who wears gloves in the cab or while running. East Coat thing perhaps?
@@michlo3393 Must be 😂
@@aydenamaya7951 watching him flip switches with those gloves on made me cringe. Im thinking I would fat finger everything doing that.
Turn off the music plz. Great video but horrible music to play along with the train ride.
Terrible music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get rid of the music, please.
