[@unvoiced4151]

I’m suppose to be going there on Wednesday on NJ transit

[@Zeffers716]

97 trains wow! That's 59 more than what I get on a weekday up here. Awesome video!

[@FanRailer]

It's more than 97... there are a quite a few entries with more than 1 train.

[@TheRandomRailfan]

If you want AEM-7's, they're at 43:39, 47:42 pushing at 48:04, 54:27, again pushing at 58:50 and at 1:11:58 Great video Fan Railer!

[@staycgirlsitsgoingdown2]

And 1:38

[@NortheastCorridorFilms]

Thank you

[@jwslijm7278]

At least the 939 and 942, but word is that as a single locomotive could not pull / push much load compared with the locomotives numbered 600 and higher.

[@Wes8761]

Im gonna do something this summer, Im calling it the Northeast Excursion. Im going to go to hamilton station (my station, lot of nostalgia) at 5:00 in the morning and watch trains until about 7 when i will hop on a njt train to Princeton Junction. I will grab breakfast and lunch at PJs pancake house in Princeton via the dinky and watch trains all day long. Gonna be great.

[@William_sJazzLoft]

As usual you do some of the most superb railfanning. I'm just amazed that it's with your phone. Then again now that I think of it my LG K20+ doesn't do 1/2 bad for a similar job. I'll have to try it next time I come up North. In the meantime, thank you for all you do!

[@Trainmaster909]

I like to say that the line from Trenton to Monmouth is America’s railroad equivalent to the Boneville Salt Flats. So many rail speed records were set here, and everything is tested on this stretch of track.

[@thenewjerseyrailfan9460]

29:14 I have never seen those Amtrak engines double head. That's a cool catch and I like the affect of daylight

[@meeperfive]

ACS-64

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

I’ve seen it three times. Metropark, Rahway, and Trenton.

[@MultiRyan2112]

Great video! Definitely committed hahaha sunrise to sunset you must be crazy!

[@amtrakharry]

WOW ! Excellent video ! Thank you for sharing... :)

[@supersoniclion5225]

I think the unknown engine at 1:09:48 was ALP-46A 4634

[@GenesisSanctuary]

Damn, 12 hours? That is insane. Still, you got to see a ton of trains with some pretty good stuff. It was cool that the Cab Car leading Train 3918 had flashing ditchlights. That's an incredibly rare sight on NJT. Shame to see that NJT screwed you over a couple of times, especially with 642 and 1181 departing.

[@trainz3982]

44:42 My Favorite" 16:43

[@phillywhateverguy]

You sir are committed. Any njt workers watching this. Im not an Engineer. Thats my Dad of the same name. He could have been running any of these. Ill have to ask.

[@imeggy1147]

Can we just appreciate how good his iPhone 6 quality is? I thought it was like a Canon or something,

[@Northeast-Regional-172]

28:32 That's #2151 it's a weekday train. #2251 is a weekend train.

[@ipswichdaddy1]

excellent video........

[@anasiacameronelijahedcpndc4324]

wait. what if there was an amtrak ALP-45DP & ALP46DP passing this station and a PL42AC & a P32ACDM and some different kinds of amtrak train

[@dicktaylor9952]

if we only had that video equipment 70 years ago........

[@jackpez]

Dick Taylor we did it just sucked

[@thenewjerseyrailfan9460]

33:01, I never knew NJ Transit had those types of electric trains

[@thecooltrainguy5920]

Those are Arrow iii EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) trains. They were running since the 80s and you'll see those cars on every electrified NJT line!

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

Not in a couple years. They’ll be replaced with the Alstom-Bombardier Mulitilevel III

[@thetrailermakerwheretraile5149]

The dinky

[@johnli8471]

The locomotive in the thumbnail really looks like br101. I don't know it is or not

[@physetermacrocephalus9986]

It's a Bombardier/Adtranz ALP-46, which is based off the DB Class 101

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

What kinda horns do those arrow III's have? They sound beautiful

[@FanRailer]

Wabco AA2

[@thenewjerseyrailfan9460]

39:52. EXTREMELY RARE CATCH!!!!!!!

[@meeperfive]

True I've never seen a GP40PH-2 pull the multi level cars and I've also never seen an ALP-45 so that has to be rare

[@thetrailermakerwheretraile5149]

Atlantic city express service returns

[@RedArrow73]

I dearly wish the Arrows, when finished at Non Judicial Transit, can find a home across the river.

[@trainboy15]

@fan railer , how do you stitch the videos together ? I have the 6+ but I didn't know you can switch the video settings to 60 FPS also ... What exactly does that mean ?

[@FanRailer]

windows movie maker.

[@TheRailfanningBirdwatcher]

Great video Fan Railer! Just a question, how do you know all of the names and numbers of the Amtrak trains? Do you use some type of database?

[@FanRailer]

lol thanks. And it's called reading the public schedule =P

[@TheRailfanningBirdwatcher]

@@FanRailer Wow XD, I thought you used the Amtrak Train Tracker website, (it sucks though lol). Even I can't spend 12 hours at Princeton Junction, even with the passing Amtrak trains with their awesome hornshows.

[@meeperfive]

Why are Amtrak amfleet cab cars are rare on the northeast corridor and on every train on the keystone corridor

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

Because they are Keystone Services

[@evertech2883]

Love it 😊

[@raheimmartin525]

Congratulations.

[@Liamflynnphoto]

Holidays. The few days when rare catches everyday other day are common

[@thecooltrainguy5920]

Was that an amtrak palmetto at 10:30?

[@FanRailer]

yes

[@blind_gamer16]

What are deadheads on trains?

[@AaronTheEagle1]

Angel GmIng a not in service train that goes back to the yard at top speed

[@Aero__08]

17:14 Why does the Amtrak train drives on the left?

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

Because it’s going faster than the train on track 3 so it goes on track 2. Fan Railer is standing on the track 1 platform

[@trainboy15]

Excellent video , how many gb's do you have ? I have tons of videos I need to upload check them out sometime .

[@FanRailer]

It's a 64 gb iPhone 6. In total, I shot 15 gb of video in 110 separate clips that I stitched together for this upload.

[@rdgk1se3019]

That railfan on the other platform looks like Lenny Shaner.

[@calvinh2196]

nice! but 12 hours, damn! if you have a powerbank, it'll be helpful

[@FanRailer]

lmao... how do you think I made it the full twelve hours. I'm way ahead of you. =P #3banks

[@thenewjerseyrailfan9460]

Calvin H I can't believe you caught a Acela racing a NJ Transit and another Amtrak racing Nj Transit

[@lennysvideoz]

about 12 hours :0
