Amtrak Train 172 - Newark to Penn Station Rear View (GoPro)

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

2:16 why is the Path line electrified???

[@PositionLight]

Up through the 1960's those tracks were also used by PRR Main Line passenger trains.

Its crazy thag about 5 years ago that entrance to Penn was open air they covered the whole thing

[@blatinoboi426]

It is crazy.. I remember as a kid I rode NJT from Newark to NY one time and once the train entered Manhattan you could see the ESB. Hudson Yards is truly incredible from an engineering standpoint.

It trips me out how the entire railroad is underground when it gets to New York. I'm from the northwest and I'm used to the amtrack at ground level.

[@musicforaarre]

It was 5 minutes before the tunnel portal light finally disappeared around a curve !! Most excellent video. By far, the best way to view the tracks. Aarre Peltomaa

[@dougd120]

it is a lengthy delay here because the time gets reset six hours back in the house until 1:30pm in the afternoon

[@srarcade]

I noticed when I do this trip the first half of the tunnel to Penn from NJ you're travelling at speed then it comes to a slow crawl like 15mph, yet theres still so much tunnel to go. Is there a certain reason for this? Any other station I feel like the train approaches a lot faster, aside from being in a tunnel. Just curious to know-

[@PositionLight]

172 hits NYC at the morning peak so there is often a conga line of commuter trains waiting to get through A interlocking and to their assigned platforms.

Really nice video...I worked this train many times and when I had slack time working the Club Car I would stand looking out the window. Best place to watch where you'd been..Glad you said that there was congestion and that was why it took so long to get into Penn..Thanks for the memories..

[@musicforaarre]

?? Maybe I was incorrect; maybe it was the latent lights from a following train that I kept seeing, not the tunnel portal light. Aarre Peltomaa

[@thomasabramson100]

FYI the LIRR NEVER uses the Hudson River /NEC tunnel to New Jersey they have a storage yard on the west side of Manhattan at 34th st

[@gumball3D]

It's too bad they built up over the open space that used to exist between the tunnel portals and NY Penn.

[@EpicThe112]

Just have a question for Amtrak trains that don't stop at Secaucus do they pass the station at 60 mph (100 km/h) or 85 mph (140 kilometers per hour)? Can someone answer this for me and well done video.

[@ploopy5235]

MAS at Secaucus on the passing tracks (tracks 2 & 3) is 90mph

[@dougd120]

due to sevi's german, the six books used with him are also against him in terms of jim burnham's history about it

[@helmitpeak]

I've been through the tunnel several times and remember the train doing at least 70mph through most of the way. Penn. must have been really backed up, noticed there was another train behind you. Nice video, brought back memories.

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Max speed is 60mph in tunnel.

daylight savings time is still seve's catch 22 doug which means nobody can run in theory

Want a beautiful ride.

[@Robbi496]

Good video (As usual) I have no problem with GoPro, since if you use telephoto lenses, it makes the train look like it is crawling!

[@jaspermcmillan6918]

Nice video. It's a shame that the west end entrance to Penn is now covered up. I guess it wasn't enough to transform the old Pennsylvania Station into a rat maze.

[@videobruceb8879]

Next time, forgot the 'fisheye' lens. It ruins the video, it makes it look like you are looking thru a one of those entrance door peepholes.

[@PositionLight]

You are familiar with what a GoPro is, right?

[@videobruceb8879]

Then use something that has a normal angle lens. Between the distortion of the 'fisheye' and the 'window frame', both ruin the video.

[@PositionLight]

I needed my other camera to take stills.
