What train is that at 8:27, I don't think I've ever seen a train running metroliner cab car first with a whopping 11 cars!

[@KDN637]

That is Northeast Regional train 121, it runs frm NYP-DC, it was introduced in 2022 I think. They usually have that consist.

8:21 I didn't know Northeast Regional 121 ran on Mondays, at least Holiday ones. Since President's Day fell on a Monday this year.

[@FanRailer]

… Presidents’ Day is ALWAYS on a Monday.

[@NortheastTrainMan]

@@FanRailer ... Correct. For this year & every year. Pardon my humanity, if you will.

[@filanfyretracker]

10:53 what type/model of locomotive is that on NJT as I notice the pantograph and a fill port for diesel.

[@jayway211]

That's an alp-45

[@FanRailer]

ALP-45 dual mode locomotive.

[@SabeehJerral]

That 3:31 Train reminded me of the br.147/187

[@ix.cryo1]

8:26 Metroliner SAAHC

[@Waltaere]

Faaan 😃

[@zazaranger5]

A 10 car push-pull?

[@NortheastTrainMan]

Yes. This section of the Northeast Corridor (Trenton - New York) is the densest / busiest part of the Northeast Corridor. So, the trains tend to be a tad longer here.
