The constant four, or here even six tracks, the high speeds and all those long sleek NJT trains must make this the best section of the NEC to get some good busy action! Great video!
That’s crazy. I live about 2 mins walking distance from the exact spot this was filmed. I had no idea people went to train stations just to watch the trains. This is fascinating and very informative.
Looks like the center platform is now removed from which you could access from under the Wood Ave bridge. Used to watch GG1's fly through back in the 70's. There is a good view of the tracks from School 8 elementary as I should know.
It is always nice to see how the ALP-46 drive at the NJT. After all, they originated from the Class 101 of Detschen Bahn AG. Just like the ALP 45 DP. Here in Germany, the first 101 are now being scrapped. The last ALP-46DP are also being built in Kassel. Locomotive 4538 was transported to the Port of Hamburg at the beginning of December and transported to you. Unfortunately, I do not know how long a ship takes for the crossing.

Best part about the NEC are the high possibility of triple meets :) I also hope they bring back traditional dining to the crescent and city of New Orleans. Food is an important part of NOLA culture, and Amtrak should attempt to replicate part of that on their trains.
They have to make a reverse move in Philadelphia. They come into Philly from the north and they reverse snd head west to Harrisburg. It is not a straight route if you go via 30th Street Station Philadelphia.
Here is the best hand-held cinematography in the genre, and Tim is a natural born storyteller.

My Favorite Station to board to & from, I can’t wait to come back there in August this year 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 !!!!
Love the narration . Maybe an optical illusion but some of those NEC Amtrak express trains seem to be going a tad faster than the Acela's .
I like these videos keep em coming. I’ve haven’t been able to go railfanning lately so I’ve been watching these
You're a better storyteller than many reporters I've worked with throughout my TV career!
!!!!!!
Awesome video as usual!

how do you know when certain train pass by?
I work in linden but work nights I can never catch the rush of trains unless im off or on vacation
The first hot shot was 3949 skips Secaucus Junction
What do you use to tell which train is going where?
The famed 6 roads
I only know cause I been working there for 10 yrs they was trying to extend one of the platforms but they said something about money and contracts

NOLA?? He’s a pitcher for the Phillies.
Nice!
Very curious why the Amtrak cab cars are only used on Keystone trains
