Amtrak & NJ Transit HD 60fps: Northeast Corridor High Speed Train Action @ Jersey Avenue (12/11/18)

[@froztytrainfilms9148]

18:53 two ACS-64s acting like an Acela

Yeah

Performance wise, they just about pulled it off.....

I feel like most Amtrak Engineers were once Railfans.

That's because Amtrak doesn't beat the soul out of you like the other Class 1's.

[@squirrelbazooka8033]

14:18 I love in this shot how you can see the NJT car wobble a bit from the sudden change in air pressure between it and the Amtrak train speeding by it. Pretty neat stuff

[@ToddKeck98]

Those ACS-64s seem to be pretty powerful. I hope someone turns their design to a freight version to run on the NEC just like how GG1s did their part in the 70s.

[@eastcoastrailproductions5559]

Hiw Graji Du Suw they aren’t that powerful, the max they can pull is 7-8 cars

[@physetermacrocephalus9986]

@@eastcoastrailproductions5559 They have 8,600 horsepower, how is that not powerful? Besides, the Silver Meteor pulls ten cars

[@turnerdeedo4633]

I imagine what you are talking about is the future of trains. I think they will work and look mostly the same, but they will mostly use overhead wires, go about the same speeds, because, lots of the tracks that already exist today will last a while, and there's nowhere else for the tracks to go! Also, non-electric locos will still be largely used, because there will probably be a large amount of routs where overhead wires will be too hard to manage.

[@turnerdeedo4633]

@@eastcoastrailproductions5559 Probably you could pull freight with a loco like that, but not at very high speeds like the passenger locos can, and the trains would have to be shorter anyway to handle traveling at 90-100 mph.

[@trainzguy2472]

@@turnerdeedo4633 If you could put 6-axle trucks on an ACS-64, it might work.

Nice. The actions seen in this video reminds me of the Hong Kong MTR’s train actions at Sunny Bay

[@turnerdeedo4633]

2:43 That right there is train speak for: "Hi there! Look at how fast i'm going!" Edit: Also why are there NJ transit push-pull trains, but not all of the trains have the loco on the same end?

[@MegaSquadVincent]

2:47 to 3:00 is my favorite that you filmed in this video, I love hornshows

[@natenobles4372]

Thank you recommended, very cool

[@MegaSquadVincent]

18:57 did you see the marker lights were on and on 646 in 19:02

[@musicforaarre]

Oh, no. More bloody questions. You should see it coming. 6:07 A diesel? Raritan Valley Line ? A platform only on one side of the tracks ? And a short platform on a curving short spur track to some factories ?? A turn back for trains to go back to Newark ?? I saw a full length train pull into the spur track at 31:28, and back out at 35:57. That must be a bitch to cross 3 tracks of a race track railway to get onto it's operating track back to Penn Station ? How awkward it must be oftentimes for scheduling. Aarre Peltomaa

[@trainsnstufff]

Ok so, The diesel was a equipment move most likely going to Morrisville yard. The other platform is located on the side of the nec so trains have to reverse over 4 tracks and go back to what they were doing on the other side.

[@kmoney2334]

33:20 606 before the wrap up :O

[@SteamboatWilley]

Nice thrash from 1001. (Googles MP20-B) I see it has an MTU 12V4000 prime mover. So a smaller version (12 cylinders) of the 16 cylinder engine used in the HST re-power project. Not as good sounding as a Valenta of course, but still half-decent, especially under load.

[@turbochargedtransit7241]

How to spot a British foamer: >thrash >HST >Valenta >bragging about how their trains are better

[@UKHeritageRailways]

@@turbochargedtransit7241 You forgot "clag". One thing we do have is more variety of locomotive and coach designs because of different builders.

So is the acs 64 high speed?

[@physetermacrocephalus9986]

Sort of. Wikipedia defines high speed as running over 200 km/h (124 mph) and the ACS-64 can go 135

[@mayhemmike1789]

ALWAYS take the train...

[@emperorpalpatine2531]

Mayhem Mike that would be a good way to avoid mayhem on the road

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

Do you think it's soon gonna be 150 mph in this section of track?

[@FanRailer]

This section of track is going to be be eastern end of the 160 MPH limit when the new equipment arrives and the catenary upgrades are complete.

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

@@FanRailer wicked cool

So basically, American high-speed trains will be going as fast as trains go in Europe?

[@Cactus732]

Turner Sennett almost, European high speed trains 186-200mph.

northeast corridor, northeast corridor, northeast corridor.....I'm so sick and tired of always hearing about the northeast corridor.....when are we gonna start building high speed rail lines in other parts of the country, and screw the northeast corridor

[@lorumipsum1129]

Sean Campbell the northeast corridor was like that too, but it was retrofitted for high speed rail. Britain is quite similar.

[@emperorpalpatine2531]

Electrification was started on the nec at the height of the Pennsylvania Railroad, New York central, and New Haven railroads. That itself took a while. If you want high speed electrified trains in the whole US, then it’s gonna take billions of dollars, a countrywide effort, and people who want to ride trains in the first place instead of cars. It’s gonna take the same effort as the interstate highway. Not to mention the tracks elsewhere are old and worn out. Some parts haven’t been replaced in over 100 years. But it would be nice to go from Philadelphia to San Francisco in a largely reduced time though.

[@NortheastCorridorFilms]

Why do we need high speed rail? We already got it, and the trains already go to stations my G. If we had an upgrade, it would be a waste.

[@trainsnstufff]

It connects The most popular cities being the most useful. They are within a 400 mile radius, Think before posting.
