14:40 that building to the right is haunted. I live nearby there

[@Noodle_Train]

@train boy jr we believe that the original owners of the building that died are the ones that haunt the building. I used to eat there once in a while, and people that worked there told stories about hearing weird stuff going on at night, but mostly harmless things. We just assume it’s the original owners just checking out the place as usual.

[@That_Guy_Haruka]

Ya know, I know it exists, as shown in your video, but I've lived in the Bay Area for all 25 years of my life and never once seen the ACE in person. It must run on a tight morning/evening schedule.

[@CoasterFan2105]

+Haruka91 Yes, they run very early and very late. Not much in the middle of the day.

[@That_Guy_Haruka]

Ah that would explain it. I don't normally make my way down to that part of the Bay Area often, and when I do it's usually midday.

[@xaviersaavedra7442]

That’s weird, on one of the Metrolink station it said track two instead of platform two. When in most of the nation if not all they referred it as a platform.

[@AVeryRandomPerson]

All Metrolink stations are numbered by track. It especially helps at Union Station. I also know that FrontRunner and the MTA Metro-North Railroad also use track numbers.

Jim Subka VRE(Virginia Rail Express) is another one left out. I rode on SEPTA/DART commuter trains between Philadelphia & Wilmington, DE when the old Penn Central railroad provided the equipment for SEPTA. The line from Philadelphia to the PA-DE border is SEPTA, from the PA-DE border to Newark, DE it is DART(Delaware Authority for Rapid Transit) which provided the city transit bus service, commuter rail service in Northern New Castle County and provides the instate intercity bus service between Wilmington, Newark & downstate Delaware cities & towns & Wilmington, New Castle & downstate Delaware cities & towns & the Delaware beach resort towns.

If you ever ride the Coaster don't spend your time onboard looking at your cell phone or you'll miss some great scenery. :)

[@newspaniard]

I was surprised and delighted to see how clean these trains are even the roofs from your overhead shots. Don't you suffer from the graffiti problem and dirty trains which we have in the UK? Do any of the commuter trains in the USA have first and second class carriages or are they all single class? Enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@BlueLightning277]

+newspaniard To paraphrase: Commuter rail and anything long distance is separately owned. Commuter rail is privatized and is carried out by these trains you see here. Most if not all of these are single class "pay to get on and off" style point to point transportation. Get on, and pick a seat anywhere on the train. The only real separation of people is the quiet car on some lines, which mandates that people (politely) keep their trap shut. Also, the reason the cars tend to be so clean is because commuter rail agencies have train washes (think giant car wash) and large fenced in secure storage facilities. Plus you can be fined for soiling the cars in any way, at least where I'm from. Finally, long distance routes are taken care of by Amtrak, which is partially government owned. This does have classes, two of them, being coach and sleeping cabin. Hope this helps.

[@newspaniard]

+UncivilEngineer Very informative. Thanks.

[@thapoint09]

Usually it's the freight trains that are covered in graffiti, at least in my area.

[@superbaddy4]

15:00 - 15:36 R.I.P. ACE 3309

[@superbaddy4]

It was destroyed in a wreck in March 2016 and was scrapped.

[@superbaddy4]

Derailment. It was leading a train and collided with a mudslide, which threw 3309 off the tracks, and it plummeted down a hill and into a marsh, which it was then internally drenched by the muddy water. 14 people were injured, but fortunately no one was killed. 3309 was completely destroyed. If you saw the damage, it looked as if it had been buried underground for 100 years and then salvaged.
