High Speed Amtrak Northeast Regional Rear View Ride Boston - Providence

[@victorrail7]

4:30 It was me on the right! 😃 What a coincidence! I took a very nice picture of your train, I would release the video soon on my channel!

[@TrainBrain2000]

Nice! Get a good video of 174?

Yesterday was a nightmare on this line, every train was about an hour to 2 hours late since a tornado hit Mansfield about a mile south of I-495 and downed a bunch of the catenary.

[@darmanyjimenez5083]

yeah i was on 2167 and we were an hour 45 behind schedule the entire way, didn’t get to philly until 7:50

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

@@darmanyjimenez5083 I believe you might’ve passed by Mansfield around 1:30

[@darmanyjimenez5083]

@@JoeyLovesTrains no, it was closer to around 3 pm, probably, we didn’t leave back bay until 2:45ish

[@kendufresne]

Nice video. I've never been on the Acela. Thanks for sharing!

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

Awesome video! This helped reaffirm that I got the signal scripting for TSW: Boston to Providence correct. 1. Restricting at Cove signal 2E when a train is stopped between the end of Cove and Tower 1. 2. Stop and Proceed at the Cove distant signal when a train is stopped at Back Bay. 3. Restricting at Plains when a train is between the east limits of Plains and the Cove distant signal. 4. Approach at Forest when Plains is at Restricting. 5. The Advance Approach > Approach > Stop and Proceed progression between Sharon and Canton Junction. 6. Restricting at Lawn when a train is between the east limits of Lawn and the Hebronville distant signal. 7. Approach at Pawtucket when Lawn is at Restricting.

[@trainrailfan671]

you did a great job with that route! now just go lay tracks to new haven LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@kwf484]

Thanks for the info. On a signal mast, what does the lunar white signals labeled C mean in T territory?

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

@@kwf484 Clear to Next Interlocking. If cab signals have failed, that'll flash white to indicate that the route is clear to the next interlocking.

[@joekmoch978]

Thanks for doing this! If you had a speed checker, it would be interesting to see what the speeds are at different points.

[@AcelaRailfan2255]

Really good video! 👍

[@xCARTHYx]

Aweome video will definitely help with PCs to either be engineer or a foreman in the future.

[@roboko6618]

the sounds of the train travelling at speed are very similar to sounds i'm used to hearing on intercity 125 in the UK. idk why that surprised me, but it did. can almost forget the video is in the states at times

[@t.o.9176]

Well maintained railroad tracks.

[@liamcarey560]

Awesome video

[@Jeff-uj8xi]

Did you notice that the fools at the MBTA runs diesel powered trains from Boston to Providence under that catenary.

[@nolantherailfan5048]

They need to electrify the small stoughton branchline

[@deepnation10009]

​@@nolantherailfan5048Exactly!

[@bitrexgm]

Electrifying the MBTA trains to Providence has been stalled in the budgeting/equipment procurement process for years. Amtrak has never been enthusiastic about it, either

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

Coool video

[@ThomasELeClair]

,,,,,,,,at video time [6:26 ] ,,,you can feel it start to speed.........I rode amtrak from nyc to pa.......90 mph then up to bursts of 110 mph.......thanks......

Did you get any of the new Walthers Proto Amfleet cars that just arrived?

A cab ride would be awesome

also "passengers aren't permitted to ride in vestibule" lol

[@NA_Railfanning_Productions]

Nice

[@krackleee]

Wait I got a question how do you get trains to honk so much

[@MrDidiusm]

At roughly 29:18 the train passes over what looks to be an abandoned station made of brick. Any idea what that station was called?

[@anniebellemiller2986]

Pawtucket / Central Falls Commuter Rail Station

[@NortheastRailfan577]

Cool

why mbta no have electric trains?

I run it everyday on the real train! lol

@@TrainBrain2000 yes but in a game is better because you control it! Also you know the route so you can compare it to real life

They sound so much like the pendolino in the U.K(your trains are on the wrong side of the tracks)😂

[@THEFINALHAZARD]

Wonder why in the world back bay and south station are just a mile apart. Seems a bit, redundant

[@massrailvideos]

What is the Sharon dead section?

[@colingraham8722]

It's like the dead section east of Holden except it's in Sharon

[@massrailvideos]

@@colingraham8722 what does “dead” mean?

[@TrainBrain2000]

Section in the wire that is not powered. Its not powered so two power grids don't touch on either side.. Engineers must open up the MCB While passing thru

[@massrailvideos]

@@TrainBrain2000 oh interesting I never knew a “dead” section existed

[@cActUsjUiCe92]

The reason they do this is because the two power providers may not be providing power completely in-phase with each other. To eliminate the possibility of issues, the railroad introduces a section of catenary with no power (dead section, neutral section, phase break, etc). Then the each power provider supplies their power to one side of the dead section. Like @TrainBrain2000 said, you have to open the Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) when operating through such an area because attempting to draw current from a portion of catenary that's not energized can result in damage.

[@NERJ607]

now from the other end 😂

大都市駅構内はダブルスリップばかりでお腹いっぱいだよう。本当に欧米の主要駅にはダブルスリップが多いな。その割に両渡りは少ない。方渡り二連の方が整備が楽でコストが下がるしな。 車窓やホーム風景など日本とそんなに変わらないね。よかったー、って何が？

[@Tiekorolivier]

200 km/h isn't "high speed rail". According to UIC, high speed is over 220 km/h. 200 is Just a normal speed for a rapid ligne in civilized countries (who use the metric system, not outdated medieval units) with modern Railways 😏
