I still remember the first time I saw a Metroliner car back in 2005. I was like, "What is that? I didn't know Amtrak had control cars!"

You can film from Springfield to Greenfield.

Just viewed a video on the powered Metro liner cars, always wondered what happened to them, now I know!

🔥

Nice train ride looking out from the rear. Are they going to replace those wooden tracks with cement tracks, and when will that happen? They look quite old. I also noticed they're empty streches on the right where tracks used to be (?). That's valuable track space.

18:21 what are they building? A new station?

I'd take amtrak if the staff weren't so surely.

Still lots of single track on the north part of the line.

station under construction north of Windsor Locks is ENFIELD.....(based on website CT rail)

I always wondered how a trainride from Springfield to CT would look like thanks for letting me see without actually taking the trip thanks👍.

Lucky you got a smooth ride. I was stuck earlier today on 6401 CTRail from Hartford to New Haven because of the ATV crash.

Lovely video with beautiful rural areas! Thanks!

how i like seeing this route aside regular windows

Good ❤ اللهم صل على محمد وال محمد ❤

I have a technical question since I'm not a railroader. What makes the wheel RPM sound variation at @25:15-25:20? I have ridden a number of Amtrak trains across America and have enjoyed standing at the back. I have even heard the same sound from Superliners. It's like the wheels are suddenly speeding up and then slowing back down. I know they aren't powered trucks. Maybe a stupid question but just wondering for the past 20 years why I often hear that sound. Thanks

Who owns this track?
