Well, this would be the first LD train to go up to 125 since there is no Viewliner I in that consist lol. Saw the data that showed it passed CWH at 123mph.
As a csx conductor i get to say it's a heartwarming experience to be able to wave at an incoming train past us. They always wave back if they aren't going to fast 😂
The way I see it, none of these trains are doing 150 mph. The Acela at 2:24 & 4:33, 5:09 would be doing around 160 kmph or 100 mph and a good one at 3:41 of a conventional train probably doing nearly 160 kmph. The rest of them are conventional speeds of around 130 kmph or 80 mph. Nicely documented footage of various train kinds. Cool footage at 3:24 of the two trains. Great shots of the loco 5:50 and 6:27!
Thanks man! This area is graded for 150mph for the acela but you’re right they may not be going that fast. There was high heat this day so that would definitely slow everything down a bit
Awesome catches, I wish I could be out for them but sadly I couldn’t. But one of the P42DC’s that was on the corridor engine 125 is now in phase 7. I hope 125 comes back to the corridor so I can see my first phase 7.
@@RailClipper I hope so, the person that made the post about it on Instagram. I messaged him and he told me that he thinks 125 will come straight back here. To Pennsylvanian rotations.
