Amtrak Northeast Regional 196 (Daytime Rear View Ride) (4K) 

Great Videos. I love it ❤

Thanks for the video! Since your video is so recent I was able to use it as a reference for doing the platforms of 30th St for my upcoming NEC train sim update on Roblox. Very good quality and your patience to record all this is appreciated

Nice video, thanks for capturing the whole thing! I gotta say, this portion of the NEC makes the old New Haven section look like a joke...the PRR sure knew how to build a nice straight right of way!

My grandmothers house is directly on the right at 28:22! 🙌🏾 There is also a bridge intersecting Frederick & South Hilton st (shown shortly beforehand), I used to go to the opening when I was little and watch the trains come through.

thanks for the work,,,,a near three hour trip standing and filming,,,,,only true passion can enable the feat..........I waited for the ride to get up to newark station.......Hell I'm 73.....back in the 1990's there was no airport station.....Anyway,,,I'm from Bklyn NY....hung out in Manhattan ,,and when free , took the trains out to Jersey.......,,,Many days ; hung out in Queens at Sunnyside........thanks again................Today I live in Pittston PA.....and have lots of frieght rail history to keep me happy,,,,plus Steamtown......

Awesome video

Very Nice Jayy, it was nice to be able to pick out locations along the way.

This guy is a beast with his camera footage I like all his videos.

Nice ride

thats epic i love northeast corridor

Great view from the back especially going thru New Brunswick very cool,

57:51 liked the sound of crossing the Susquehanna river

WOW, I just saw where this passes thru Claymont Delaware heading north starting around 1:13 coming into the Wilmington DE station for a stop. 1:18 is coming thru Holly Oak, I-495 on the right & the Delaware river on the left, 1:19:53 is the abandoned switch tower that used to control the PRR / Conrail freight yard. Watch as the track goes elevated to cross over the two inside tracks that went into the freight yard, this is around 1:20:00. At 1:21:20 is the old Claymont DE station. This is on a deadly curve. Many people have been killed crossing the track instead of going under the tracks thru the tunnel. This was a local stop for SEPTA commuters. At 1:21:35 is the new station that has been completed since this video was made. This has an overhead crosswalk so all should be good now. This new station is just about on the DE / PA state line. At 1:22:30 is the Marcus Hook SEPTA station in PA. Dave KC3AM

As always, nice work, Jayy! Thanks!!

2:41:45 why have a third rail?

Man bring back some good memories I used to work at that country yard while working for Njt

This must be the only non-Acela train which skips Trenton. Well done!

thank you for this amazing video! I hope you'll do it again next summer when days are loger

Nice video! I've always wondered why in the Maryland section of the corridor 1 track is mainly used for southbound trains while the other 3 (or 2 going from BWI-New Carrolton) are used mostly for northbound... Quite a mystery for me.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The glorious NEC..........................Where speed is alive and well..............awesome to hear the scream of the traction motors on accelleration,,,,and as in decellaration the sound ebbing down slowly as the dynamic braking works slows the rolling tonnage.............

there you go,,,,doin what i have done.......walked a long way up to the head end,,,,ACS-64,,,unit 607........but those new units did not exist in my early day....

44:25 That’s my home station when I was riding the MARC Train to Washington DC this summer 2023! Martin State Airport Station!

The stations look busy again 🎉

NICE 🎉🎉🎉

A superb video Jay, thanks! I wonder why the big city stations of the US are so shabby looking and dirty? The smaller ones are fine!

Sheeeeesh, It really is so damn fast. Around 110 mph right?

I am always Fascinated by USA and Amtrack Grand Central has 44 Platforms but Penn with 11 is the main station these day i Know it a though station but its access is very poor by small tunnels .and i feel for all the Amtrack permeant way staff working in them tunnels to keep the train moving. but i have to say like British Railways and London Underground .the Tunnels which are vey old Hudson about 110 years old and UK about 100/150 + years old they built them very well to last so long.

I think Wilmington station is a bit small

Was that Marc at the start of the video ?
