This video actually turned out pretty good because of the bright sun, and the fact that the sun was behind the train. This is the most detailed ride I have done on the Doylestown Line. All interlockings, railroad crossings, and many overhead/undergrade bridges are identified with graphics in addition to narration. This is undoubtedly my favorite Septa Regional Rail line. (at 12:23 that was the former Logan station site-not Tabor)

SEPTA assistant conductor here!! Really appreciate these detailed videos cause they help with learning interlocks ect for when we go into our promotion class

@3985uprr 10 месяцев назад

Glad to be of service. I would have preferred a cleaner window, but considering the detail you’re getting with this, I think that can be overlooked.

Used to ride this line (R5) just about every day 1992-1994, again 1998-1999. Back then it was paper ticket, conductor came through to punch it with odd shapes, walk from car to car calling out the stops. All the names still ring true but the landscape is almost unrecognizable. Thanks for the ride!

Excellent capture! This engineer certainly uses the K3LA horn to it's full potential! I hear these Silverliners come through Ambler all the time, and it's pretty easy to tell who's operating by how they blow the horn.

Amtrak does a much better job. Ride Amtrak a couple times a week. You can notice the difference.

@sepa2401 10 месяцев назад

@@hornshowrailfan2554 Yeah, a lot of the engineers on SEPTA really don't care about doing a perfect crossing sequence. There is one engineer on SEPTA that I've heard that literally blows through playing with the horn. It's hilarious to watch!

Hello Tim from Orlando been watching Brightline run testing they really have been running a lot of trains the last couple of days service from Orlando to Miami starts the 22nd. Fly eagles fly. Nice to see you back in Philadelphia watching this video Saturday night on my TV

@thewmreed 10 месяцев назад

OMG. I always miss it when you come down here. Next time you come il take you to a great hoagie spot and you can ride the double-end K Cars to get there. Even though im a Philly native i lived right off the LIRR mainline in Carle Place. So glad they got that 3rd track in.

Without narration or graphics, they are mindless. Can’t tolerate that.

In RDG days, North Wales had two more crossings! There were crossings at 4th St. as well as Dickerson Rd. (I used to live on 4th St.)

@georgejenista9487 10 месяцев назад

Pulling into North Broad, I noticed what appears to be a track, off the mainline to the right, with a piece of M-o-W equipment sitting on it. Behind it I briefly glimpsed what looked to be a brick (former? ) carbarn?

Flashing yellow over red means medium approach and thanks for the videos I learned a lot from you every chance I get the watch please keep doing what you do

@3985uprr 10 месяцев назад

Per an employee that signal has a special instruction which says that it is an approach.

You should do a video on the Norristown High Speed Line. If you do it soon they are single tracking and that would be neat to show

At 30:47 is the site of the old Camp Hill station. Just beyond that, a terrible head-on wreck happened in 1856.

@OldsVistaCruiser 10 месяцев назад

At 39:20, what you have labeled as Gwynedd Pk. is actually Plymouth Rd. I loved using that road as part of a shortcut between North Wales and Plymouth Meeting.

Gwynedd Cut was originally a tunnel. It was daylighted when the RDG electrified. There's another tunnel beyond Lansdale on the Bethlehem Branch not far past Perkasie station, which still stands.
