Big Coal Train With DPUs Drops The Signal, Amtrak Fastest I Have Seen, Horseshoe Curve Pennsylvania

Giant Coal Train With Helper Locomotives, Train Drops The Signal, Amtrak Booking Through A Banked Curve, Amtrak Train Horn Salute & Giant Auto Racks Train With DPU At Horseshoe Curve, Pennsylvania. I also stopped at Altoona in an area known as The Brick Yard. I got an intermodal train there. It's pretty cool seeing the old BNSF units on the Norfolk Southern trains. Wells Fargo Rail owns them and are leasing them to Norfolk Southern.
I stopped at Cresson on my way back westbound. Right when I got there a big coal train was passing by. I missed the lead locomotives but got the DPU and then right after it passed another train was following it. I'm glad I decided to film it. We also get to see the signal drop from green to red as the train passes.
I went to the other side of the tracks in Cresson by walking through the pedestrian tunnel. Hold your nose going through there. It has a strong urine smell.
I also stopped by Bird In Hand, Pa. I got two fast Amtrak trains there. Then we see Altoona and Horseshoe Curve. I know I got some of the trains out of order in this video. I have been sick for a few days and put this video together with a fever and had to take a break to go outside to upchuck. I was planning on going to Indiana to film some trains but that has been cancelled. I rarely get sick.
The giant auto racks train at Horseshoe Curve had a Union Pacific DPU working hard. In the video I said that I probably wouldn't film the whole train but I did film it completely.
Filmed Saturday and Sunday, June 24 & 25, 2023 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

Now this what I'm talking about JT! Excellent vid! *****

[@JamesSimmons-dj6ix]

Good video Jawtooth

[@RTWest-kn5fr]

'Bird-in-hand' is an old expression that comes from the early settlers to the area. Before everyone had a high-powered rifle and a handgun, they used to carry a pheasant or a wild turkey or a duck in one hand to appease angry natives or bears or Bigfoot. Many didn't know the names of the birds, so they just referred to their foul weapon as a bird. Which, obviously, to be useful, had to be ready and in the hand. I hope you are feeling better, Señor Jaws. Maybe you should go to 'Chicken-soup-in-the-tummy', Ohio to film and feel better. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, Puebla, México...

[@mikeball6182]

Also a common name for a pub here in the UK. From the saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

[@Phantom-Signal]

Good Morning JT, 2 x 2 x 2 loaded coal train. Very nice and all units working hard. Cool shot of those manned helpers going back after helping out the loaded coal train. That's a great little spot to watch trains, especially around that curve. Great video as always Sir. Cheers from Ontario 🇨🇦

Cool, thanks for the trains from the Keystonecorridor. 109 miles/h, that would have to be just under 180 km/h. When I'm back home next week, I'll upload a video from the Hanover - Berlin race track. The speed limit is 280 km/h. Let's see if the weather god plays along. Yes, and you don't need to say anything about the Horse Shoe Curve anyway. The part is just awesome. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven

You went all the way over past Lancaster. I would have just gone on to Camden and visited the Battleship New Jersey. One thing I like as much as trains (!) is naval history and I would have to go. lol That little locomotive yard there at the wye in Cresson is a maintenance yard and gas station for the helper locomotives. JT, you just gotta love those big V-16s pouring on the power. That is music. The DPUs were working hard. Thanks for taking us with y'all, JT!

[@penguinsfan251]

I enjoy it when you can make your way to West Central PA to see the world famous Horseshoe Curve, as well as Gallitzin and the railroaders museum in Altoona. The Pennsylvania Railroad did a LOT to build up Western Pennsylvania. Those trains make their way to and through Pittsburgh...there almost always seems to be a train thru Pittsburgh...NS, CSX, AVR, Amtrak, W&LE. The electrified tracks run from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and do not come close to Pittsburgh at all. The Amtraks going to Pittsburgh have to switch to diesel locomotives in Harrisburg to continue west. Pittsburgh is worth checking out to see trains. So is the CSX Keystone Corridor from Cumberland, Maryland to Pittsburgh. The Sand Patch is a great place to see the CSX trains. I enjoy seeing the little kids marvel.at the sight and sound of the trains. Great video. Take care of yourself.

[@libby5335]

Took a trip to PA and Maryland 6 years ago for our 50th anny. We were so focused on seeing Antietam, Gettysburg & Harpers Ferry, we didn't think to look for train sites. In hind sight, should have done more investigating and planning. Would love to see Horseshoe Curve. But at least we can enjoy lots of places by watching your super videos!Thanks, JT!

[@RodrigoSousaFerrovias]

Wonderful video my friend, have a nice day!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you! You too!

[@thomasmackowiak]

I enjoyed watching this video of the trains you caught at Cresson and Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania plus the Horseshoe Curve portion of video. That was a long coal train at the beginning of the video. The DPUs were working hard to move the train along. Were the end of train DPUs manned? Those electrified Amtrak trains were moving fast as they passed you. That long auto rack train was impressive as it filled the full panorama of Horseshoe Curve.

[@cp368productions2]

RJ Corman actually has 2 lines that connect into the former Helper Base at Cresson. The SD40E helpers were out of Cresson and Altoona until DPUs started being implemented on the Pittsburgh Line and then they went from 20-30 SD40Es as helpers to about 8 SD70ACUs and shut down Cresson.

[@TheMeupsdriver]

@jawtooth the bird in hand video was of Amtrak's Keystone service. That train is cleared to run 110mph through there. There are 2 diesels a westbound train 43 around 130ish and an Eastbound train 42 around 220pm. The keystone runs between Harrisburg and New York with Philadelphia as a direction change. The Pennsylvanian train 42 and 43 run once per day between Pittsburgh and New York using Philadelphia to cut the diesel from one end and add an acs 64 to the other so it can run with a motor to New York

JT: great video. Amtrak’s goes as fast as possible because it’s the NEC and Congress has mandated speeds in excess of 100 mph.Also brick building looks like PRR in 19th Century.

[@filanfyretracker]

if all of our passenger service hauled like the NEC I think more people would ride trains in this country. I mean I was on an early morning Acela on a Sunday a few years ago and it was full. Sadly the NEC is the only place Amtrak really has any real control over the tracks. In some places they do share with NJ Transit and MTA Metro North I believe but all of them like to keep the trains going fast too so no real bottlenecks there.
