Wilmington, Delaware buffing, Bomber Trains, and Silverliner 5 Heaven. 2/23/23 

its sad they dont have the Great Valley Flyer at 530pm anymore.

Great day for railfanning Wilmington and 30th St Station Philadelphia. Both offering a plethora of Amtrak and SEPTA trains and equipment. Thanks Tim for a nice review and commentary😀💚

Tyler Mac Boston baby yeah

Silverliner V: The Railfan's choice.

1:28 all Amtrak ACS-64 Electric Locomotive are equipped with the Gramer White E Bell located on the right side of all the ACS-64 Locomotives!

2:23 Septa says GO PHILLIES!!!

Another great little primer on types of cars and engines of SEPTA and Amtrak for we novices. We've had the opposite weather along Front Range Colorado this Winter...Pretty sure record setting sub-zero and sub-freezing temperatures at least in terms of frequency and duration. Plenty of snow here too already this year, and March and April are the #1 and #2 months for accumulation on average, although April has plenty of days in the 50s, 60s and even 70s and always lots of sunshine.

The upper level at 30th Street looks just enough like Newark Penn that the first time I arrived at 30th via SEPTA rather than Amtrak I thought I had entered another dimension.

I miss all the express trains pre-Covid. Had Bombardiers on Trenton Express. West Trenton Express was to Bethayrs

Those SL V's really need a good Power washing

Really enjoying your excursions!

SimmonsI knew the soul of NYP. Danny Simmons! I was able to record his announcements including the Broadway Ltd.

Beautiful light yesterday! Great video and variety of stations. Cool!

Used to be called the “R” trains.. R1, R2, and so on….

Sorry I missed you in my hometown and at our beautiful and historic station! Keep up the outstanding work! Love your videos!

5:14 - This is the first place I saw one of these Acela Express trains up close beside me (on that same track) in Spring 2005.

Thanks for show casing my hometown. Love that 30th street!!

Great video. I was just there at 30th Street on the 20th

My home on some Sundays in the summer when I go to see Blue Rocks games. Also a great place to watch Amtrak regional trains run between Wilmington to Baltimore

i love how they designed Suburban and Jefferson stations to be like metro stations. it's hard to believe commuter trains run thru it.!!!

Yes. Me too! Those automatic announcements are like SIRI. Especially the one on the Silverliner V.

Damn, I was in Philly riding Septa yesterday and I missed meeting you again. Btw, I was on that second Wawa push pull set.

Thank You!

Yes!! That’s where I’m from!!!!!

@Retired Railfan Horn Guy That Warminster train should've showed its blue LTD display.

Can't believe they were running those Silverliner 5's down to the airport. They usually use that GE junk on those runs.

Great video!

As always, great video.

I forgot to mention another usher named Freddie Ulfo. One day, I ran into him into him. He was a red cap! I asked him, what happened? He said that he earned more money as a red cap than as an usher.

22:16 - The towns/stations of Media and Elwyn (West Chester too) are forgotten, replaced by a station location that doubles as advertising .

also, the CoachUSA Newark Airport Express buses have an extremely foul phrase on the sides by the door... they have all the stops listed, and one of them happens to be "Grand Central Station." a travesty.!

Retired Railfan Horn Show Guy, I gotta tell you something.

My train is in this video...but didn't see you 😢.

7:00 Those automated announcements use the same voice they use (or at least used to, they might be replacing them) on the MBTA Commuter Rail.

i saw JT today. it was freezing, we had some 7s. not sure if you heard about his little M3 episode last night... P Wire issue threw him into emergency at RVC and he had to limp it from RVC to Baldwin and then park up at Freeport.

I didn’t know 9595 EXP to bryn mawr was a push pull. I thought 9593 was push pull EXP to Wayne. Or did they add more push pull?😊

What equiptment was this footage shot with?

22:44 - Can different types of railcars be mixed in a train?

17:40 - A stainless steel train, proudly built in Philadelphia by Budd company.

By the way, are they K5L horns, or K5LA?? m I close??

26:46 - What are these railcars called? They do not look like any version of SILVERliner.

Nice railroad station (except for the name).

Did you know that the capitol of Delaware, Dover, is the ONLY state capitol in the US that has no airline service? That is why Biden is famous for taking the train instead of flying. Of course he could have used Dover, AFB I guess but he didn't. I think that is still the case unless they have made Dover, AFB a joint use airport. That was not the case the last time I operated out of there but that wa a long time ago so who knows. I know they have allowed civil airplanes to land there for special occasions but I have no idea of it's status anymore. I am full of useless information. lol

Do not care for the political comments.

The Silverliner V's are ugly and poorly designed. The GE'S looked much better when new. The fact that Septa designed the cars with a dangerous railfan window that can't be used, and the truck failure debacle shows the poor design.

As a Brit what is the point of the bell notice loco hauled trains have them but not EMUs? .have spent many happy vacation days railfanning in the USA.
