This Light Rail in the USA Runs on Diesel! - The Riverline in South New Jersey
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- The River Line (stylized as River LINE) is a diesel tram-train Interurban light rail system in southern New Jersey, United States, that connects the cities of Camden and Trenton, New Jersey's capital. It is operated for New Jersey Transit by the Southern New Jersey Rail Group (SNJRG), which originally included Bechtel Group and Bombardier. Now that the project is in its operational phase, Bombardier is the only member of SNJRG.[1] The River Line is so named because the path between those two cities runs more or less parallel to the Delaware River.
The River Line stops at the PATCO Speedline's Broadway station (Walter Rand Transportation Center) and the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line's Pennsauken Transit Center, allowing passengers to transfer to and from these connections to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ~Wikipedia

The views of the Delaware River are fantastic all year!#
I've ridden this line many times and always enjoyed myself.
This is a former railroad route that carried commuters
Freight is carried late night when no pasdenget trains are running
Thanks Tim for sharing😀😀
This line uses part of the Camden & Amboy route, which was the 1st rail line in NJ and is also the oldest chartered line in the US
@@korbermeister1 Thank you for your input..
even the trams in the USA can't escape from diesel!
Actually, the Riverline is the minority
New Jersey has two additional light rail lines in the north that are electric: Newark Light Rail and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.
River line is the only Diesel powered light rail in the US
@@davidfrischknecht8261 and hoboken light rail
@@uzin0s256 That's the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail
Beautiful train/line/video. Thanks
Interested to see when they finish the glassboro line. Much needed expansion for south jersey transit.
Thank You for this Video. The Rail Line was worth every penny to build it. The people really benefitted from it. Especially now with the higher fuel prices.
If you’re traveling to Philly, this is the best & cheapest way to get there. Great scenery and it’s nice & relaxing. Returning from Philly however, I always take the Trenton line out of 30th st station
Some people say this line was one created so South Jersey would have a light rail. North Jersey has two... Newark and Hudson-Bergen, which includes Jersey City. But I do see a good number of passengers on the River Line.
It was created to connect Trenton and Camden.
Those are Stadler GTW vehicles! For the river line, it is a special version that can run on the street
this seems to be a very beautifull line , great work
Great scenery, it has
That's a dope trolley
Λοιπόν, το Southern New Jersey Rail Group και οι άνθρωποι του New Jersey έχουν κάνει σπουδαία δουλειά και αξίζουν στους ανθρώπους εκεί πολλά συγχαρητήρια! Τα οχήματα είναι diesel αλλά ψάχνω να βρω τον μαύρο καπνό! Βέβαια, συμφωνώντας και με τους σχολιαστές και λόγω των γεγονότων στην Ουκρανία το κόστος του diesel μπορεί να αυξηθεί σημαντικά και αυτό μπορεί να είναι πρόβλημα! Τα οχήματα της Bombardier είναι εξαιρετικά και τα γνωρίζω διότι τα έχουμε και εμείς στην Ελλάδα, με τη διαφορά ότι αυτές στο New Jersey έχουν άλλες μετώπες και πολύ καλύτερα καθίσματα. Στο video σου παρέλειψες να μας δείξεις το stop at the PATCO Speedline's Broadway station προκειμένου να δούμε τη μετάβαση από τους συρμούς της River LINE στους συρμούς της PATCO. Επίσης παρέλειψες να μας δείξεις διασταύρωση οχημάτων, ειδικά στα τμήματα της μονής γραμμής. Η γραμμή διέρχεται με δυο τρόπους από τα αστικά τμήματα: α. με πακτωμένους στρωτήρες σε μπετόν και β. σε γραμμές τύπου "U" που χρησιμοποιούν και τα συστήματα tram. Οι σχεδιαστές και οι μηχανικοί θα μπορούσαν να μας βοηθήσουν και στο ιστορικό light rail (narrow gauge, line width = 60cm!) από τον Βόλο στις Μηλιές, στο πρώτο μισό τμήμα που βρίσκεται εκτός λειτουργίας και διέρχεται από την πόλη του Βόλου και το προάστιο της Αγριάς, ενώ η γραμμή συνεχίζει να πατάει στο οδικό δίκτυο από την Αγριά ως τα Άνω Λεχώνια. Πολύ ωραίο video!
This was some reason recommended to me. Kinda cool to see something local. Granted, I've never paid much attention to the riverine as I mainly take the NEC njt line to NYC. But I've seen the river line in Camden when I go to concerts there. Kinda cool
That is really cool and I know the "overhead electric" people wish it was EV but it seems to offer a lot of flexibility given no overhead lines.
actually flexibility is the same since it has to run on tracks anyway
that’s not really how it works...the rails are the problem, not the wires
Nice video of a strange system.
nice views of the water. sucks more people dont appreciate the views.
I am an F40PH-3C and I approve of this video!
I wouldn't really call it Light Rail it's basically a street running DMU. Many regional lines in Europe and elsewhere have them. Too me light rail is more the U-Bahn/Stadtbahn networks in Germany.
Although you could call the small Sprinter DMU's of Great Britain and now replaced Rail Buses of England and Wales light rail they mostly shared lined with main line trains with the exception of a few self contained branch lines.
Also similar to the D branch of the MBTA green line. It’s a long line with stops far apart.
U-Bahn is metro rail/subway.
Light rail is more of a tram that serves somewhat as a metro.
The Heart of Wales line has been run on a Light Rail Licence since 1972. Despite being run with Sprinter DMU's in the late 20th and 21st century.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_150
These lighter DMU's helped keep rural lines and coastal and community rail lines open in the 1980's when closure looked likely.
Now this is exactly what we need here in Dallas, Texas instead of DART.
Mooie video, ik vind deze treinstellen beetje op GTW lijken. Zijn deze afkomstig van Stadler?
Rising sea levels won't have to rise too far before that track can't be used
Well at least they don't have to run overhead cables or side pickups for power
Huancayo was supposed to have one in 2012, which would have been a great advance in transport, but we also have "such great" politicians that, diminished the project under the excuse that a train like that must run on electricity only, they sabotaged the project and finally it never happened.. sad..
This is a DBOM of course they can do it
Replace the Series 60 with LiFePO4 batteries and have a 15 minute layover in Camden and Trenton.
Curious as to what diesel engines the center power unit uses - Detroit diesel / caterpillar?
If Newark nj could get these if electric goes out
It's have to change filters every day.
These are not light rail trains in europe our stadler GTW can go 85 mph (140 km/h) and go on mainlines(and are electric or diesel-Electric
2023 the trains are 19 years old its time for replacement
theirs a New expansion witb the same vechicles but new vers but with diff colors
interurban
Would not want to live anywhere near a station or crossing and listen to that racket every time a train stops or passes a crossing.
Then don’t.
You don't have to.🙄
Good. I'll live there then
This is like the third video he has made on this topic
Very different clips - mostly outside of Camden, NJ
Addendum; The PSNJ,was split into two parts,one side ran from Newark to Trenton,and you changed at Trenton for part two,which then ran to Camden! The reason was the track Guage,the Northern side was standard,and Southern side was 5 foot,which made interchange,a bit of a nogo! Most of the routes out of Camden,are now bus,and if you get the old streetcar maps,you will see the follow the old routes,plus you have PATCO,operating over some of the old Pennsylvania- Reading Seashore route,interesting 📚 😀!!
@@roberthuron9160 You have no reason to type this reply. It’s unrelated
I’d you don’t want to watch videos of awesome trains why leave this comment?
@@ananonymousoyster365 What gives you that idea?
