That’s probably why they’re complaining about it. The watermark really ruins the view. I totally understand why OP might not want to upload videos with no watermark due to content theft, but personally, I believe it could have been in a much better placement at the very least. That’s essentially making a video with your name tag blocking the entire focus of the video.

maybe the tracks are reverse signaled, and can be reversed on weekends and over nights when maintenance is taking place

@@cyclopsvision6370 That’s weird, I thought that the way how the camera perceived the visuals in front, it was flipped.

And to add to that, these type of videos are extremely rare, even after the old fleet of PATH trains (PA1, PA2, PA3, & PA4) retired some 13 years ago. I don't mind the watermark at all, and it's understandable why it's there.

I think he sees this video as valuable due to the rarity of his permission so he watermarked it. His other train videos are not watermarked.

@jassy_235 Basically, yes.

The complaints aren't (mostly) about why they are there though? They are about how they are implemented. You can use a lower opacity, so that it is barely visible - barely visible would mean you can still see it if you look for it, but transparent enough that it is not obtrusive.

@@jassy_235 A shame he even NEEDS permission to film on PATH, someone really needs to initiate a lawsuit like that which got the ban at the PANYNJ bus terminal thrown out. There is no reason for it.

> *I don’t know why others are complaining about it.* A lot of the issue seems to stem from how opaque it is - it's not a choice between full opaque and only half-opaque, you can go a lot farther and still have it visible. Been experimenting with this myself because I like the *idea* but want to see how far I can go with transparency so that the thing still works, while being as unobtrusive as possible, and it seems (from my testing) that you can go much, much farther.

😂😂😂😂

Path train

@huncho1057 No, fool, NJ Transit!

@@KennethRembertNYC bro this is a path train. New Jersey Transit literally does not operate or Own ANY traction with third rails. All of their electric equipment has a pantograph. This is a path train from 33rd street to journal square look it up dumbass

Does it matter though? At least this guy even gave a damn of giving you the video in the first place.

@@Parzival899 yes it does

@@whitestonemike It really doesn’t. At least you HAVE a video where it includes the path train’s front view. Most of them don’t if not all of them after the 9/11 attacks. Just be thankful that someone took their own given time of their day to go and film this.

To let the geese know that the train is arriving on an atypical track .

It's to keep ppl from stealing his content

@@philnaegelygive me 5 minutes and it’s gone 😂. Water marks don’t do anything

​@philnaegely Why, out of all things, would they steal a video of a train front view?

@ because I steal everything KZbin videos, books, cars, tvs, houses, boats, catalytic converters, phones, computers and everything.

@jthe_railfaner2643 Nope they're real. The male voice is Steve Kamer from Inside Edition and the female voice is Sara Weaver.

@@dollartree207streetyard2 thank you for this!

@@John-u6d4h flashing green lights are an indication of CBTC, in which the train is running by itself with motorman assistance. If it’s solid, then the motorman is doing everything.

Like said below, flashing green indicates CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) is in effect. In addition, if this is anything like how the MTA operates on the L and 7, this flashing green indicates that speed is being governed by the CBTC system - i.e. whatever the screen in the cab says the speed limit is, that's what the speed limit is. I would assume a solid green aspect, if it can be displayed by this system, indicates that posted trackside speeds are to be followed.

The flashing green light indicates to the motorman to follow commands from his CBTC screen in the cab. The solid green light is simply an indication to proceed.

It’s to prevent people from stealing the video. But yes I agree there could have been a better way to do this.

@@davidng2336, there was a better way to do this, the OP was just being (IMHO) lazy.

@@davidng2336 The question isn't why it is there. 🤦 You can, if one insists on one that is full width/height, do the opacity in such a way that it is barely opaque enough so that it is there if you look at it, yet not intrusive upon watching.

Yeh don't worry too much about it. I still watched your video. I have not been on the PATH in over 25 or more years. I used to take it all the time for a quick fast trip to Penn sta Newark. Penn sta NYC was ok. but I always like riding the path on those older trains.

Some one getting fired lol

Recording is Only Prohibited if you are part of a News Broadcast or For a Online news Report

@@HalenChen-o6g not if ur operating wich it clearly show he is in the cab and recording....

@@urbanboy7510 He most likely just stuck a camera on the front of the train while the operator wasn't there to notice, such as at the terminus before they walk from the back to the front of the train.

You can hear passengers in the background. He most likely got permission.

The system is OLD and was previously the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad and was sold to the port Authority of New York and New Jersey

Thankfully the Hudson Tunnel is being built and this tunnel is gonna get refurbished.

@ or maybe not, if you factor in the election results

​@@toyotagazooracer4455 The new Hudson tunnel is for Amtrak and NJT, not PATH.

​@dapperdonny4051 Thanks for acknowledging that bit of bi-state history. Funny enough, having the Terminus of the old Hudson & Manhattan located under a derelict office building on Cortland Street led to the relocation of The Twin Towers of the WTC. The South Street Seaport was supposed to be demolished by the East River to make way for the original WTC. The Governor of NJ during the early 60's wasn't too keen on having a bi-state funded office complex with its back to the Hudson. They were able to persuade the Port Authority to purchase the H&M Railroad, with the old office building above its NYC headquarters. Through eminent domain, the area of Radio Row would be demolished after 1965, along with the old headquarters. By Spring of 1966, construction of the Twin Towers was underway. A sad irony regarding the neighborhood demolition was the tragic loss of the Singer Building. A beautiful early 20th Century office building that was torn down around 1968. The current One Liberty Plaza stands on the site.

I think that the Path Stations are fine, and may need a_little_ touch up, (handicapped access mainly) but not a big one.
