Amtrak & Metro North Railfanning at Harlem 125th Street

[@BROOKLYN1977]

Back in the mid-90s I worked around 124th Street and Park Avenue in Harlem and it got to the point where I used to know all the train schedules for Metro-North just by observing the trains come & Go.

[@tntplumbing24]

9:13 Look. It’s really rare to have 2 windows on a none double door car. Aren’t they supposed to have 1 window on 1 side

[@nerailvideos]

That’s a Comet II Cab Car.

[@DBZRailfan]

[@Scj9700]

i think someone left 205's fuel cap open.

[@avasic1995]

super cool justin yeah

[@eolafan100]

When I rode on this line daily between Tuckahoe and GCT back in the 1970s we would never in 1 million years have dared to railfan on these platforms for fear of our lives… But obviously much has changed in the interim…With much of it being for the better.

[@LibertyRailfan]

Great video Alex, 125th street is a real fun station lots of trains..

[@avasic1995]

Liberty Railfan Productions thanks adam and it really is a fun station with a really good line of sight in both ways

[@LibertyRailfan]

yes I would agree on that

[@alesandrozepeda858]

9:05 why was the announcer counting?

[@MrEarthboundKing]

Someone seems to prefer diesels to electrics, haha

[@avasic1995]

dubsll I'm more of a diesel guy

[@atheman90]

I film both, but I get more excited when I see a diesel.

[@2005GLI]

Nice video! You ever get hassled/bothered by anybody at the station?

[@avasic1995]

PascackValleyRailfan this is my first time at that station

[@2005GLI]

avasic1995 how long were you there for? How often arr yrains coming in and going out?

[@avasic1995]

PascackValleyRailfan not that long and every 5 minutes

[@realyell0w]

How and why is there a car on tracks

[@Maunico0809]

A lot of P32 deadheading why?

[@longlivetherailways1571]

Why don't the P32 AC:s use the third rail? Greetings from Sweden.

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

I don't know the detailed answer, but from what I've read (and been told on nycrailfan202's channel), they can't get full power when running from the 3rd rail, so they go to diesel as soon as they get out of the tunnels. The old FL9s (and modern DM30ACs on the Long Island Railroad) have the same problem.

[@longlivetherailways1571]

@@Lucius_Chiaraviglio Thank you very much!

[@johnleuenhagen9068]

Yeah, top speed is only 60mph when running on the third rail. I assume acceleration is also significantly impacted.

[@sdrailproductions]

Nice video

[@avasic1995]

SDRAIL Productions thanks

[@SleepTrain456]

Why do the Amtrak Empire Service trains have P42DC full diesel locomotives at the end?

[@avasic1995]

SleepTrain456 they're using it as a cab car

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

@@avasic1995 What did they do with the P42DCs when they got into the tunnels -- shut down the diesel and run the headlights and communications equipment on battery power?

[@Mnrr6131]

Trainz cab car gave you a show 2:04

[@FaLO66traintravels]

[@GamingwithJay0001]
