Amtrak & NJ Transit Morning Rush Hour on The Northeast Corridor @ New Brunswick (6/27/22)

0700 to 1000. Enjoy =)

12:50 that car horn/train horn combination is so underrated

[@pin22pin]

Used to take those trains to the NYC clubs on Friday nights in the 90s when I went to Rutgers. Best times.

[@coolbreeze253]

When I lived in Morris County 30 years ago I used to take my 9 year old son to that station to watch trains. Good memories.

[@PAcentralRailfan2102]

Cool! Those Acela trains were zooming!

[@kevinhoward9593]

150mph zone now.

[@FanRailer]

No, not here. 125 mph through New Brunswick.

[@amjkodaz]

@@kevinhoward9593 150 from Hamilton to DELCO Int

[@emadalvi3006]

@@FanRailer i thought it was 150 now with the upgrades. And the Avelias should be able to go 160mph

[@majayoung6780]

16:57 guys he hacked life and got the early demo of the new Acela😂

[@jamaltaffe3605]

I love the northeast corridor

[@DavidNightjet]

I'm heading to Princeton tomorrow morning to catch Avelia TS3 on the return trip to Philly. It'll be following Acela #2155, so I'm expecting TS3 to come through around 11:30ish. So excited for this, I had to convince a coworker to take my shift so I could see it for the first time! I was there yesterday too to see the Acela at 150 and even managed to have an encounter with the Catenary Maintenance and Track Geometry Amfleets!

[@DavidNightjet]

Update: had to bail out. It had just left NYC at 2:00 and I needed to get to work, so I didn't have a chance to wait another 40 minutes to see it

[@taxesv1nce142]

@@DavidNightjet Thats too bad, hope you get another chance.

[@njtrains487]

i was at Hamilton the same day i did not know that the Avelia Liberty was coming.

[@zoomanx9661]

I love the Arrow 3 trains, but I think it’s time to either upgrade or retire them. Everything else is running at 100 or better, they can only do 80 now.

[@_SP64_]

They got the Multilevel III's coming next year and they're expected to hit a top speed of 110mph

[@kennymcgowan2880]

Nicccccceeeeee video, and thank you for the shots of old and old new NJT trains along with Amtrak liberty train...

[@mohammadqureshi7274]

Thumbnail gives Shinkansen passing through urban Tokyo vibes.

[@axu6865]

How I miss Rutgers and NB. It has been 10 years since I moved away from NB. Just like yesterday…

[@antoniobenamer8681]

It changed a lot and still evolving.

[@TBF_1J]

Nice video! Did you mean to make this video public? It's unlisted.

[@FanRailer]

Thanks. And no, this is intentional. It will go public later today. The link from the other video is to see who reads the description and reward them with early access.

[@42ndStreetShuttle]

Now it’s public

[@TBF_1J]

@@FanRailer And that's why you always read descriptions 🫡😏

[@amethyst681]

Awesome! Those Acela trains were zooming

[@gamingzone1122]

fantastic 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@drivingottawa]

Excellent footage!

[@Jhihmoac]

1:35 - It's nice to see that the cabtrains are still operating, although NJ Transit has been phasing them out in favor of the double level cars with the single Siemens electric or electric/diesel units...

[@dpg227]

Those trains don't look too shabby.

[@asphalt_98_gamer76]

Nice

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

10:49 funny how it says 25K on the front but 12K on the side. They must have forgotten to change the sticker on the front when they brought it to corridor service. I know they can't change between the 25Kv 60Hz on the fly, but they have a switch either under the car or on the pantograph that needs to toggled in order to change voltages.

[@NortheastRailroadFanner]

Yep, there’s 172 right before the Avelia.

[@kptrains]

Cool shots!

[@donna19891983]

I grew up in New Brunswick my dad would take me here to watch the GG1. ‘S roll thru or the metro liners. Sometimes go to Jersey ave. I moved to SC 30 years ago and still co e home and what do I do watch trains here and Jersey ave and Princeton. Was just the week of Oct 16. Great shots

[@mattk9644]

You’d like my videos then. I have done lots of videos at Princeton Junction and Jersey Ave but i do plan to do more at New Brunswick.

[@adithyaramachandran7427]

Is there a plan to replace the aging EMU's with more modern stock similar to what's used in Germany or the UK ?

[@bipbipletucha]

I wish there was

[@_mynewcareer]

Yes. Multilevel III EMU's

[@centralMDrailfan]

Probably not

[@lukebaumann8618]

Yes, actually most of the old trains in this video are scheduled to be replaced over the next 5 years (however since this is America, and the pandemic, the replacements are in some cases running late. And they still probably won’t be as nice as German trains). The NJ transit single level coaches that are very old looking will be replaced with Bombardier double decker EMUs and coaches over the next 3-5 years The Amtrak regional passenger coaches will be replaced over the next 5-7 years with Siemens Venture coaches These have both been budgeted/contracted and manufacturing is proceeding The Acela train sets are being replaced with Alston Avelia Liberty (similar-ish to TGV). 3 have been delivered so far but due to various issues encountered during testing they won’t be in revenue service for a year or so

[@Zadesniper]

My favorite sightline is from the garage right across the street, when nbpa isn't lurking up there it's a great spot to watch the trains go by while waiting

[@BorisLu]

Nice video!

[@PAcentralRailfan2102]

Yes indeed

[@rogeriomonteiro760]

Very good video, however the NJ transit commuter trains seem to big for the platform.

[@kingofthemonsters3712]

9:29 IMPOSTER!

[@StormerKiing]

I love trainwatching

[@HeavyRayne]

Was the Avelia making that scraping sound as it went by?

[@bruno_mm_goncalves]

Bom video excelente parabéns

[@jbreezy101]

[@tattfam3]

I'm on these trains everyday live near linden station. NJ transit workers are suing because of unruly Passengers lol ITS ACTUALLY MANY OF THE CONDUCTORS TREATMENT OF PASSENGERS!

[@marktan3668]

Klunk klunk klunk 1950

[@Zabanks7898]

Good

[@nathanielcoleman5694]

Is there a noticeable difference between express and deadhead NJT trains? All I could tell was that some passed the station while others didn’t.

[@FanRailer]

No

[@chunhchan]

So sad at how much litter is around this station. People just throw stuff over the railing

[@roughcut627]

Toot toot at 8:00

[@manaress711]

which land is that?

[@kaiy4559]

I don’t get how people are supposed to get out if the train doesn’t stop in the platform area

[@FanRailer]

By walking to the cars that are platformed…

[@twistedwhiskers8776]

[@Cz84853]

That's the only EMU they've got.

Avelia need more speed dude.

停車してるのにホームと車両が合ってないしいい加減だな そんなに鉄道をDSたちは発展させたく無いのかね

こんにちは、私はアメリカの都市計画家です。 アメリカでは、電車は車よりも役に立たないと考えられており、電車は日本に比べて政府から受け取るお金や財源が少ない。 米国には信頼できる列車サービスのない多くの都市があり、車は人々の唯一の選択肢です。 幸いなことに、ニュージャージーにはアメリカで最高の列車がいくつかありますが、それでも日本やヨーロッパとの適合性は良くありません。
