Afternoon Rush on the Northeast Corridor (Amtrak and NJ Transit), July 17, 2023

All the action at Harrison, NJ between 3:10pm and 7:30pm. 102 trains! The only one I missed was Keystone 650, but that equipment returns as 651. You'll see every other train on the schedule with these exceptions:
--Amtrak 94, running 2 hours 40 minutes late
--Amtrak 137, running 1 hour 50 minutes late
--Amtrak 55, running 1 hour 5 minutes late
--NJT 3272 and 3279, both running late due to a disabled train (3265) on the Coast Line
Amtrak trains 174, 176, 2165, 42, 2167, and 2169 were all operating 10 or more minutes late (174 was over 2 hours late), and NJT 3873 and 3270 were each about 15 minutes late.
Overlay info: consists that appear more than once in the video are noted with (2x) (3x) etc. Departure times are from the April 23, 2023 NJ Transit employee timetable (typically one minute later than the public timetables), and departure stations are the first revenue stops for each train. Trains running express between Newark/EWR and outlying points, in either direction, are noted (i.e. "exp. Metropark").

Even though it’s not an American priority, you really need to appreciate the anount of passenger rail service there is on the Northeast Corridor. I also appreciate the amount of work that went into this video. Kudos!

[@ajp31]

Thank you!

[@patrickhuot001]

That’s makes the infrastructure improvements, especially the bridges and tunnels leading in and out of NYC, of paramount importance.

[@christianwentzien1106]

America 🇺🇸 needs more Railroads 🛤️ 🇺🇸 with Passenger Trains 🚆

[@artiek1177]

No one mentioned that the locomotive at 54:45 was painted and detailed to look like the old Pennsylvania RR GG1s.

[@atomsmash100]

I love it!

[@darthmaul216]

Thanks for the time stamp

[@artiek1177]

@@darthmaul216 You’re welcome. It’s funny because I went looking for that train before I watched the entire video itself.

[@scottmaasmedia]

I see that pass by The Portal North Bridge Project site. Very nice Penn RR heritage unit. Great capture!

[@Celevie413]

thanks for making this i love watching the trains go by

[@ajp31]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@AndreiTupolev]

That Pennsylvania heritage unit looks really good. It realky suits that body shape

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

If only we could have some like here in the Pacific northwest

[@frafraplanner9277]

Cascade Corridor when?

[@hirampriggott1689]

That's the cool thing about the multilevels: You're on three levels of train.

[@RailBet]

Not going to lie it kind looks like the year 2001 a little bit since Arrows III, Comets, and original Acela train are still in service but along with more modern equipment

[@F40M07]

TRAIN ASMR

[@mikeh.6007]

Curious if anyone saw the Pennyslvanian in the vid ? #42 NYC arrival @4:50 pm

[@ajp31]

It was running late; see it at 29:50 in the video.

[@Transporter_Not_Statham]

Nice angle. I never knew this could be done in Harrison Edit: 1:08….oh

[@rebooted.jupiter_]

dang he uploaded again

[@ajp31]

Like clockwork every four years 😂

[@Greatdome99]

Thank you for not zooming.

[@ajp31]

Learned that the hard way (see my 2001 video)! 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@gainsbourg66]

Fascinating. Is that just outside New York?

[@avivalouf628]

Yes it’s at Harrison PATH station, it’s a shame the trains don’t run faster through there

[@ajp31]

Just east of Newark Penn Station.

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

New Jersey

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Swweeeeet

[@patchtrains]

is it ok to stand up there. its on my list to see.

[@ajp31]

We've done it several times and never been bothered. On this trip we actually parked our car in the garage so we had a valid excuse to be there!

[@trainboy7]

Even though these trains aren’t as fast as anything European related, They at least get the job done.

[@williamkettle8666]

US. trains with that useless bell !.

[@ClinchfieldRailfan921]

NOT USELESS! It’s to warn pedestrians, crew and other people incase if it’s a quiet zone, or to warn Poe it’s moving or is going to

[@williamkettle8666]

No other railroads use them only US & Canada not convinced@@ClinchfieldRailfan921

[@qpwodkgh2010]

I have an idea. Let's make a railroad that is loudest possible, clunky, and more loud. Oh, wait a sec, someone already did that.

[@Celevie413]

i like the sound

[@de-fault_de-fault]

I mean every single train in the video is crossing switches, so that accounts for most of the noise. Okay, not the PATH trains but PATH just kind of sucks. (Source: I use it daily)

[@jethrotaylor2614]

depressing

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

But this area has some of the highest quality passenger rail on the entire continent

[@AndreiTupolev]

In what way?

[@cats0182]

These trains are ugly-slow

[@ajp31]

If you like speed, Harrison is not the place for you. 😂 It's all about the incredible density of trains.

[@agentrgwx8529]

Are you okay? Does this area look like the place you’d see high speed trains piercing the air!? Man some of y’all just don’t know shit

[@_SP64_]

Not to mention Newark Penn station is right next to Harrison every single train stops there.

[@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164]

Your comment is silly

[@StefanWithTrains3222]

Actually for a Central station an 45-30mph approach Is pretty standard around the world. Every train passing the route stops here, so they need to slow down anyways.
