8:11 what's that train doing down there?

AL can max at 220mph. It's basically a TGV-M trainset. As tracks get better maybe we can get closer.

Thanks for the nostalgia ride! It was definitely a weekend or holiday because there are no rush hour trains parked in staging sidings. Back in 1980 I used to work for the Speed Line in the Signals group. One commenter was sad that the AC Line train passed them. I can assure you that the HS Line trains can outrun them no problem but they are speed limited with passengers onboard. Normal cruise speed between stops is 70 MPH. Rumored by the "old guys" that they can hit 100. Another noted the train crossed over to the other track before going underground. Yes, the normal track section must have been out of service for maintenance. It crossed back to the normal side before Broadway Station. On the Philadelphia side after coming off the Ben Franklin Bridge there is the Franklin Square Station with access to the Liberty Bell park that is closed and boarded up. Last used in 1976 for the Bicentennial.

Not for long. After 45 years, PATCO is reopening the Franklin Square Station later this year due in part to new developments in housing and business. The Delaware River Port Authority has spent about a few years cleaning up the dirty grime and dust left behind after the station closed down in 1979 due to low ridership.

They normally travel right and at higher speed in that section. It looks like this was filmed last summer; they had a period of time where they were single-tracking that section for upgrade work, which may have been the cause.

@@Frances_Network_Production right, around August, that's in the time frame. The work went from around mid-July through August due to flooding on July 4th (I made a video about it). I rode PATCO around 10 days before this posted, they were double-tracking then (made a post about it on Twitter/x, that's how I was able to recall it). Thankfully, the work is all done, and they're running quite efficiently with no flooding since!

I love the European Horn sounds so much. It's different and evokes a real high speed train. unlike the K5LA that just sounds so outdated now.

@stupidkid351 6 ай бұрын

Nah I disagree with you. K5LA is much much nicer on the ears in my opinion at least compared to the squeaky European horn. It's so shrill and I don't even think of it as a train horn sounds like a European ambulance.

@WA1LBK 5 ай бұрын

I beg to differ; the 2-tone French hooter sounds HORRID!!! 🤮 I HOPE they replace them with K5LA's on the production Avelias. It could actually turn out to be a safety issue as well; how many non-railfan people would even RECOGNIZE that as a train horn! Even Virtual Railfan, on one of their clips of it, subtiled it "A horn only a mother could love"! 😄 A 5-note K5LA, by comparison, compares well in musicality to a chime steam whistle. 😎

@stupidkid351 5 ай бұрын

@@WA1LBK I completely agree with you! The K5LA is recognized by even non railfan individuals while the euro horn sounds horrible it won't be recognized and I feel especially at Crossings and stations it maybe ignored even....so a safety definitely.

The US rail speed record is 171mph on this stretch of track 50 years ago with the UAC turbotrain. Just 7 more mph Amtrak this train is barely breaking a sweat.

@SteveGettingAroundPhilly 6 ай бұрын

Not really. The record is officially 183 mph held by the New York Central Black Beatle, a Budd RDC that had two jet engines from a B-36 on the top set back in 1966 in Indiana. Obviously it wasn't meant as anything more than a mad-lad demonstrator to show they could do it, but that's where it stands. No doubt though, if they wanted to go for the speed record now, the Avelias could do it. They can do 200+ if given good track to do it.
