Amtrak & SLE HD 60fps: Northeast Corridor Morning Horn Action @ New London (9/18/17)

READ:
My first time visiting this unique station, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of horn action and friendly crews and cops. Video contains all trains between 8:30a and 12:00p. Enjoy =)

It was so strange going through here on the Acela. The streets were blended into a high speed railway!

[@955redavenger]

0:27 Love that Hybrid K5LA. It'll never get old!

[@froztytrainfilms9148]

Kevin the train hunter I hate how they replaced all of the original bronze bells on the Acela trains

[@jimbobcramden]

i agree kevin

[@Texas80]

It looks like there is no way the Acela will go through New London at 150mph.

[@connecticutrailfanningprod8183]

IH331 absolutely no chance. It’s too curvy and there’s 3 crossings there also

[@justasquirrelwithaguitar7980]

I’m sorry for this but that’s what she said

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

I'm really gonna miss that Hybrid K5LA horn once these Acelas retire, but either ways, the horns on the new Avelia Liberty trains are cool and funny sounding at times.

[@robertsgerard8669]

I've taken Amtrak from this station a few times; it truly is a beautiful, vintage place.

[@FinnKeehan]

Wow, I guess I’ve been missing out. I’ve never taken Amtrak before!

[@rnrailproductions5049]

The K3LA part of that horn sounds wonderful!

[@paulgoodman8476]

So much going on at the New London station. Amtrak and Shoreline East Commuter rail, Car ferries to Orient Point on the East tip of Long Island and Fisher's Island, the Coast Guard training clipper ship Eagle and submarines from Electric boat often cruising up and down the Thames River. A great place to hangout.

[@NERJ607]

sprinter engineer: ok we're at new london gotta do the crossing horn thingy random ferry: *haha ship horn go brrrrrr* 18:21

[@grotonrailfanner1635]

u can hear the engineer do full blast

[@orionharmon6017]

It's still here, what do you mean, don't you mean that old Acela bell, it wasn't functioning enough so that why they have to replace it into a e-bell.

[@CTSLRailfan]

@@orionharmon6017 he didn’t say i. he said i’ll.

[@orionharmon6017]

​@@CTSLRailfan Well the Amtrak Acela express still got the K5LA that's installed into her.

[@seaniebounce]

That Acela takes a mean curve at New London! Fucking SICK! that noise is epic and it makes contact! Love it

[@metrabnsfrails3641]

Acela had the new bell on 2190?

[@WhiteCamry]

Where was 2190?

[@FanRailer]

@@WhiteCamry 2190 is the Acela that stops at New London, second train in the video.

[@PGHammer21A]

Cute - gates and a Serious Bell - for people - and it's WAY north of Florida. (Yes; it's OBVIOUS; southern end of the platform.)

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

The first Acela in this video currently has an unknown location. Does anyone know where it is? It is very sad to think that in 10 years the first generation Acela will never be seen on the NEC again, the Amfleet I's are retired, and ACS-64s will only be on northeast long distance trains.

[@wilfstor3078]

I had a pipe dream the other night that one day one set could have a single powercar replaced with the lone jet train powercar and go on tours of the continent, but I already know that will never happen...

[@wilfstor3078]

That first Acelas Hybrid K5LA almost sounded Canadian tuned like a K3L or K5H, wonder if it had a dominant 3 chime

[@alyssaleary2534]

I hear a backing up truck in the background is there construction going on back there 10:18

[@XanavierF]

Is it just me or was the conductor / Left Seater on 2029 videoing you? @ 2:54

[@FanRailer]

That is actually the forward facing in-cab camera of the power car.

[@XanavierF]

I forgot that Amtrak actually installed those. I thought I saw it move a bit so... just my inattention, I guess!

[@mansfielddepotconnecticutr1224]

Oh I've been there before thats New London Connecticut

[@sccrdude22]

Thought the Acela normally stopped at New London. Also imagine if one day you were at New London station and an attack sub just comes up or down the river sailing by.

[@froztytrainfilms9148]

sccrdude22 Acela trains don’t stop there, and lol

[@kevinhoward9593]

3 Acelas stop there a day. Trains 2151, 2190, and 2172.

[@anthonylauro5711]

sccrdude22 I was held up for 2 hrs back in early 90s when a sub was stuck. Back then you switched from electric to diesel I think in New Haven

[@nhbrail]

the Acela only stops at new London in the early morning and the late evening I have seen a sub go by

[@renzjomz]

Acela Express is stopped when it is jammed and when it is a red light

[@CTTrainsAviation]

i'm surprised u didn't see 6696 it was out on Sunday

[@MrBnsftrain]

it seems odd this station has its platforms cut in half by a railroad crossing! how often do cars use it?

[@kevinhoward9593]

the road is there mostly for town people to access the docks.

[@dariofinkel6191]

i think its for the Block Island ferry. for the vehicles to access and exit the ferries

[@michaelbarnwell1065]

It’s only for people (like myself) to access the Fishers Island Ferry

[@inactive-subscribetocoloni8066]

Great Video, if you want a little more up to speed action you’d like Mystic station, only a handful of NER trains stop there.

[@NERJ607]

if you want something REALLY good head to Kingston, RI. The best station in the northeast.

[@gnnascarfan2410]

Kingston, Rhode Island is where to go if you want true high speed.

[@billkittleman9631]

I’ll miss these original sets ..

[@955redavenger]

Does anyone happen to know the track speed on this section of the NEC? Is it 20mph?

[@lec09]

25 mph

[@froztytrainfilms9148]

That’s really slow for a train, but fast for a person riding a bike

[@mainlineproductions513]

The speed is slow because of the curve.

[@kevinhoward9593]

and a tight curve. do you want it to go 100mph around a blind curve with two grade crossings?

[@dariofinkel6191]

i think the Tilt function on the Acelas is turned off for this curve.

[@KushalDave]

nice video

[@CharlieND]

Why is it driving on the left track instead of the right?

[@dariofinkel6191]

maybe it was Wrong Ironed due to SLE activity

[@FFred-us9tw]

@@dariofinkel6191 Their is no "wrong iron" in 261 and 562 territory. Wrong Iron slang applies in 251 territory. None exists on this section of the Corridor. Amtrak does not designate their mainline tracks as directional. While they normally use 1 as a Westbound track and 2 as an Eastbound track, they will routinely run opposite ways for getting around congestion.

[@NERJ607]

I havn't been here since before covid.. hmm maybe ill go this summer

There’s a few crossings in eastern Connecticut on the NEC still active today

[@michaschornsteinfeger]

Das ganze Video, finde ich, steht symbolisch für die Ineffiziens des US Amerikanischen Eisenbahn- Systems. Allein die unterschiedlichen Bahnsteighöhen und mitten im Bahnsteig gibt es auch noch ein Übergang. Die Bahn ist in den USA ein Verkehrsystem dritter Klasse, traurigerweise.

Why is there still a grade crossing in 2018? trains can go 130+mph but sure lets have a grade crossing. Why is New London a Union Station. its only been served by one railroad. (well 3 through mergers. New Haven, PC, and Amtrak). I think its the only railroad station where the platforms are separated by a grade crossing.

[@friendlyneighbourhoodplatypus]

The curve stops any prospects of high speed runnng through there.

[@acdcking1234]

Please remove this crossing
