We enjoy a nice ride on train 5344 from Thorndale to PHL. I like to do my rides with the sun behind me instead of in front of me as it looks much better. We ride the route of the famous Pennsylvania Railroad Paoli Local. It’s the beginning of the pm rush-hour and we see a lot of passing trains enroute. Enjoy.

THANK YOU for another GREAT forward-looking video!! ALL operating & history info Greatly Appreciated!!! I can't believe there are so many manned towers left!! (No more full-time manned towers left in MI! 😫 ) I want to see more video like this from you if/when you can! Also THANKS for your reply to my question re color lights in PRR "monsters"!

Thank you!!

Excellent video coverage.👍

@Bowfinger10 7 месяцев назад

Great video. The fact that the ROW on this line is so wide blows my mind a bit. It's a testament to how much capital the PRR spent in order to move millions of tons of freight per year. Now, if only Amtrak and the state could spend millions to get it up to "higher speed" specs...

@jackwyatt1900 Год назад

Road this route many times while going to school in Wayne, PA in the fifties. Some of the stations haven't changed although Wayne has been updated.

15-39 years ago your train from Thorndale/Parkesburg has the Roll Sign R5 Doylestown towards Philly other routes to have this are R2 Warminster from Newark,DE to Philly R3 West Trenton from Elwyn to Philly. If you have catenary that can clear double stacks then it's a Reading RR line but can't clear double stacks PRR. For Paoli the Ideal setup is two Island platforms 48' high 1.21m Amtrak uses the inner pair SEPTA outer tracks and then have them merge after the station. 36:27 Interstate 476 Blue Route Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension the sign mounted on the bridge actually says Exit 16 Interstate 76 Philadelphia Valley Forge the correct way is Philadelphia Pittsburgh since I-76 is the main Philly to Pittsburgh interstate highway

Lota of new constant tension catenary!

@davidkuebler4302 Год назад

Septa needs to a better job at washing it's windows they are very dirty and great video by the way

@3985uprr Год назад

I can’t control the railfan window unfortunately. I try to compensate by shooting in the direction away from the sun. It helps tremendously. I love cloudy days. It’s good either way.

@Jeff-uj8xi Год назад

Tim, At 45:20, what's in that building at Bryn Mawr called The Pullman?

@3985uprr Год назад

It’s a new restaurant and bar. Looks interesting

@rikkichunn8856 3 месяца назад

I miss your voice. It added a warm, personal touch!

@3985uprr 3 месяца назад

Wow, thank you! I couldn’t speak on this video because I had to use a selfie stick to get the camera as close to the window as I could because I wasn’t able to sit in the usual seat where I can talk

@jimpern Год назад

Any idea for the reason for the slow running from Villanova to Bryn Mawr? It seemed totally unnecessary.

@3985uprr Год назад

Amtrak train crossed over in front of us. It gave our train restricting signals.

@DrQuagmire1 Год назад

@@3985uprr yep, the Pennsylvanian!!! I was on that train last month when I took Amtrak out to Johnstown to visit a friend of mine out there, as well as doing some sight-seeing. and I have to say man, just taking the train out there alone netted some beautiful scenery along the way, especially when coming up on the famous Horseshoe Curve, located just outside of Altoona.

@malachimuhammad-dy2ow 9 месяцев назад

Are there express services from Paoli to Center City?

@3985uprr 9 месяцев назад

Rush hours only

@Gojira160 7 месяцев назад

@@3985uprrI'm quite sure 9591 goes non-stop to Bryn Mawr and all stops to Thorndale. And it departs Temple University at 4:23pm. It'll be your first time riding a push-pull equipment.

@muskegonaviation Год назад

Does septa have any quiet cars like Metra?

@3985uprr Год назад

I’m not sure

@Yaseung Год назад

Yes. Only during peak hours if there is more than 3 open cars for passengers, 1st car is quiet ride car on all peak trains local, limited, or express

@user-rq1wk7nh3b Год назад

I enjoy your videos but I enjoy them even more if you narrate and add your comments while filming.

@3985uprr Год назад

Because I cannot sit in my desired second row in order to get a good image I am forced to use a selfie stick. Because of that I’m rather far away from the camera, so that’s why I don’t narrate. As compensation, I lace the video with lots of info graphics. In the uncommon occasion that I can sit in the second row then I am right on top of the camera, and I can easily narrate.

@BRIANDER100 Год назад

8:25 any idea what's on the tracks ?

@3985uprr Год назад

Electronic sensors

@bankeygeagoo8661 Год назад

Can you do one of these but a express train like for example the Wayne express

@3985uprr Год назад

I would but it would be a bad sun angle unless it’s a cloudy day

@MalachiMuhammad-xg4xx Месяц назад

Well, perhaps on one of the cloudy weekdays.

@OldsVistaCruiser Год назад

Not a very quiet "Quiet Car"!

@hornshowrailfan2554 Год назад

Ride everyday. They gave up on that a while ago unless your with Bill or a conductor that takes their job seriously.

@tokugawa12able Год назад

Say what you want, but your SL4 ride a couple of days again was a lot quieter, smoother, and more pleasant than this SL5 jaunt.

@3985uprr Год назад

You are entitled to your opinion of course. I’m big on aesthetics and the 5’s look and sound better than the 4’s. I get it about their mechanical abilities or inabilities.
