Rare Catch: The Amtrak Cardinal in the Daylight Through Glendale, Cincinnati and Maysville 

I'm from Maysville and am actually the caretaker of the Maysville Amtrak station for the past 3 years. I've met a lot of really nice people from all over the country. Doesn't pay much but it's a cool gig. Cool video ✌️💙

My god, the best view ever I seen and keep them coming. If they change to daytime train, more passengers will ride. That is my wild guess. Once again, amazing video!

Paint on the last car is beautiful.

My very first tran ride began at Maysville on Easter Sunday 1984. Mom and I went to Washington for my uncle’s wedding.

Great video showing exactly why Amtrak should be disbanded, except the NE corridor. I took the Cardinal from Cincy two weeks ago. It left 1.5 hours late, horrific food, heater not working in our room, filthy windows, etc.

Amazing footage! I finally got to see this in the daylight! I was pumped! Love your drone footage

These no horn zones blow my mind

I really enjoy your videos. They add a lot of information about trains and their functions through your explanation and commentary that others don't. Keep up the good work!

Great video as always, wanted to get out and catch it but couldn't make it happen. I've also caught it at Pendery, on Easter Sunday a couple years ago. It's cooking by the time it gets there and catches you by surprise!

@NKY Railfan Nice Catch And Video. The Eastbound Cardinal (P050) Passes Near Where I Live, Where It's An Evening Train. I Also Rode P050, Back In July Of 2018.

Very cool video from the air and ground, Plus some very nice catches.

Great video! In a few weeks I’m taking my first Cardinal ride from South Portsmouth, KY to White Sulphur Springs, WV. Have lunch at The Greenbrier then return to South Portsmouth (same day)!

Great video. I really appreciate the perspective of Maysville from the drone which captures the location where my railfanning days began long ago in my youth. My grandparents used to live in an apartment above Caproni's and my grandfather worked at the Maysville station for C&O.

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. Dave

Very cool to see it during the daylight in Maysville. My dads house is visible from your drone shot @17:00 . I spent a lot of nights sitting on those benches just waiting to catch the Cardinal stop by.

You would be the ideal news reporter !!!

Another great video Christian. Really like the drone footage through Glendale. Nice to catch that one in the daylight, I remember taking the Cardinal to The Greenbrier and leaving Cincinnati in the middle of the night.

nice video; your drone can fly pretty fast and the sound it picks up is pretty impressive for being way up in the air!

You are the man! Great shots and excellent editing!

Wow, so many great views! Excellent video!

Very nice video, I liked all the different camera angles along with an explanation

Those are beautiful Amfleet car shots! When I'd ride the Cardinal from Arlington VA to Montgomery WV to go to school at WV Tech I'd spend most of my time in the Amfleet lounge car. It rode well and accommodated the "coal" tracks of the New River CSX line much better than the heritage fleet passenger coach cars. The aerial drone videos are excellent. Just heard your drone is limited to 55 mph. That's incredible for a battery powered drone! I think the viewliner sleepers are great to have as sleepers with their advanced suspension and chassis, but they are not upper body attractive like the Amfleet coaches are. Riding the viewliner roomette on the Cardinia has fairly good reviews as far a ride quality goes which is very good for "coal" tracks. The reviewer stated riding the Cardinia was for experienced Amtrak sleeper traveller that was wanting to explore the lesser traveled routes. With that said going though the New River Gorge rivaled many of the other western mountain experiences. Its a bit hard to imagine the Cardinia once on the north east corridor travels with these same cars at about 115 mph! Watching the Cardinia go through Montgomery WV was always a bit of excitement. It also reminded me that home was at the other end of that modern train ride. It certainly made the New River gorge rail fanning seem more relevant with a modern passenger train going thought it! I never realized the Cardinia had so many elevated viaduct sections in Ohio! Though WV it is on mainline CSX tracks that were the mainline of the C&O.

Now that's a train!!! Maysville speed!!

It does make sense to coordinate video catches with others so you don't have to make every opportunity. And yes, you can drive faster than 55. Just don't get caught. And no, there is no "nostalgia" in anything Amtrak. Some of us remember The Real Thing.

Looks like a great train to ride.

Great video

Crazy how this vid was made a year ago and called d hop being a titan

i love riding on amtrak anuwhere in the USA

I caught the Same Train outside of Glenwood Indiana.

Hey have you checked out Detroit? And it’s rail yards? Also have you heard of the DT&I with its famous concrete arches that are still up today?

Whoa hold on a second a freight train is waiting for a passenger train 😳😳😳😳😳😳. I have been on Amtrak before and we were always waiting for the freight trains to go by before we could press on

If only we could get more runs of the Cardinal that gave daytime service to at least Cincinnati. I usually get on at Maysville because it's at slightly more tolerable times than Cincinnati.

Any idea why it was so late? Anyway, I’ve ridden the Cardinal many times even from when I was a kid in the 50’s and 60’s when steam was king. I dig the hell out of the way it creeps along that trestle into Cincinnati to the museum station. So cool.

GREAT flying under pressure. All those stick hours above these spots you commonly railfan, paid dividends this morning! Thank you. If you want to grow your channel (not everyone does), you may want to consider #drones somehow. Your skills and safe examples are up there with the best.

How does the Amtrak pass at day? Here in Indianapolis it passes at like 12 AM or 6 AM

A+

Did this train make a stop in south portsmouth, kentucky?

Great chase, thank you. Drone shots brilliant especially over the river. How far can you fly without losing control?

Good video! Amtrak is a joke. The only really dedicated Amtrak lines is The Northeast Corridor If America is to ever have on time efficient passenger service then dedicated rail passenger lines need to be built. If that would happen then rail passenger trains would be out of the way of freight traffic. I know this isn’t likely to happen but Amtrak is so often very late and passengers miss connections they need to get. I’m just saying

What bridge is that

I wish you could ride it for less than 7x a rental car.

Seems like it's running awfully slow??

Excellent video! Did you find out why it was late initially? i saw it left on time at Chicago Union Station, but more than 6 hours late after one stop.

Amtrak sucks......I'd rather drive or fly, but thanks

Great Video, and good catch. 🚂🚂🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋 All aboard.......LOL
