- That lady railfan from China is a graduate student at Rutgers. She says she often photographs trains there. Very knowledgeable on the American railroad scene. She had gone to Secaucus and Hoboken raving “ I love those Geeps” She was a breath of fresh air!!

I grew up right outside of New Brunswick; I can't wait to move home when I retire.
I am a Rutgers grad. Have fond memories from 10 years ago of sitting on that lawn to relax after exams were over, and also seeing AEM7's flying through here :). Those locomotives used to be labelled in the 900's. I took trains from here many times. The grease trucks nearby were also a key attraction.
14:51 Train 3943 was the train I was Driving lol 😂
Retired Railfan
Nice, Remember: sounding of the train HORN is associated with a signal in the movement of trains. Please do not expected the locomotive engineer to comply when you are encouraging them to sound the horn.
I envy you your memories of having actually witnessed GG1's in action - doubleheaded no less! Their horns were uniquely unmistakeable, so I am told.
The trains slowing down at the end were probably because a train originating from Jersey Avenue was crossing all 4 tracks. It's a major bottleneck for the corridor. Luckily there is a plan to fix it with a flyover and loop.
Excellent, my home station, hope you told that female rail fan were she can watch herself on your channel
Great to see the ALP-46s at speed, some of my favourite US electrics! Also didn't know so many Arrows were still in use on the NEC.
Lovely campus. How I would love to have seen it when GG1 s ruled. Perhaps the most iconic electric loco.
Great memories. I live in South Carolina but grew up in New Brunswick and hearing you talk about the GG 1 ‘s brought back a lot of memories. My dad would take me to Jersey Ave to watch the Metroliners roar thru in the 60’s . To this day as recently as Sept 2021 I l come to New Brunswick to watch trains. I assume you walked under the tunnel from the Northbound side to the southbound side . Great work on your videos
same here. Got married in 1982 at Kirkpatrick Chapel and I remember the alarm bell while a GG1 screamed through at 100+!
I have never seen a lady railfanner before. I wish more people railfanned, it’s not just limited to men
Brilliant as ever can't wait to get over 🙂
Awesome!!!
I love the GG-1's and remember them pulling into Penn Station NYC. - I have a question about traction power. What is the difference between overhead catenary wires and a 3rd rail? Is one more cost effective? Which is more reliable?
Overhead wires allow for higher speeds and more current to the train because of higher voltage. Also safer for work crews and at grade crossings since you can't exactly step on it by accident, but more expensive to install in most cases.
FRA train on the LIRR is going around. You should catch it before it leaves LIRR to go to NJT on may 11th. It will be transferred to NJT via penn station.
Caught it today
The loco 2:37 is one direction only. I get the idea that they can combo but still a hassle to change direction.
Soon trains will be able to go 150 through here. At least Acela.
Amazing video! I'll be heading over to ramsey route 17 today to catch my good friend ben
edit: Have you been to Princeton Junction? I would like to go there one day but i dont know if its a good station
Yeah he has, it‘s in this video: ruclips.net/video/p60auoQZTTE/видео.html
Princeton Junction is one of the best places to go to for the high speed Amtrak’s
Is New Brunswick station on the NEC?
Yes
Next time your at New Brunswick walk down the northbound steps to Easton Ave cross the street walk into the parking lot of Johnson n Johnson and you ll walking under the Stone Raritan River Bridge. Very cool photo shots
Watched video
I wonder why NJ Transit doesn't have EMUs on the Northeast Corridor. It seems logical to me.
They do?
@@_SP64_ DON'T.
@@TheRailwayDrone the Arrows are EMUs
@@_SP64_ I mean MODERN EMUs. Not something from the 1980s.
173 was late because of a tresspasser "accident" on metro north and a tresspasser in New london.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
