Amtrak & MARC: Rail Observations (September 2015)

[@セキマル-m2v]

It is such a fun to observe plane and rail at the same time.

sehr interessanter Zugverkehr und Züge

Interesting to see a Marc train pulled by an Amtrak loco

[@blueridgerails7779]

It's actually pretty common to see them. They just rent them out.

[@blueridgerails7779]

They are now pulled by the new Amtrak ACS-64's which were introduced in 2015 so fairly new.

[@PGHammer21A]

@@blueridgerails7779 MARC is getting ACS-64s of their own to replace the HHP-8s as they are retired. (They have one SC-44 Charger in use on the Brunswick Line right now.)

[@briandynamite7942]

It’s mainly cause Marc and Amtrak have a very tight relationship as Amtrak operatives the penn line.

Awesome video!

9:50 my fav horn in the vid

[@Decgyrrl]

It's interesting how small the cars in the trains, until they pull into the station, then u see their actual size. This is so relaxing. Can't travel because of covid19; but it don't hurt to pretend 😉❤

[@PGHammer21A]

I have not been able to travel, either - but MARC's Penn Line (which overlays the NEC) was my route when I did.

[@calebtrains2261]

I was at this station last Saturday.

Great video i'm sure to check out more of your videos

+amtrak and csx/marc fan fisher man Thanks

[@ALPTrainVideos]

Very nice!

[@MJofLakelandX]

+ALP Train Videos - CSX trains, Amtrak Trains, NS trains and more. Thanks.

[@Archivist2001]

Is this good spot to catch Acelas speeding by?

[@MJofLakelandX]

+Archivist2001 Yes but an even better spot is Odenton or Bowie. I'll prefer Odenton since it's more clam and quiet to listen in on the sediment and foundation vibrating.

[@calebtrains2261]

Another good location is Halethorpe.

[@PGHammer21A]

@@calebtrains2261 - Two others (closer to DC) are Seabrook and College Park/University of Maryland. All are MARC stations - but they therefore don't have the security woes that New Carrolton, Union Station, or Baltimore Penn Station do.

[@PGHammer21A]

@@MJofLakelandX Actually, Seabrook (or College Park-University of Maryland, or even Bowie State University) are even better.

[@joshdzn]

Oh another HHP-8?

[@mlproductions7414]

Sweet

[@burdizdawurd1516Official]

914 has a rust spot in the same place as 920. That's weird.

[@Av8r_rome]

do more videos full line not observations

[@MJofLakelandX]

Trust me, I will. The Penn Line will probably be the first; Camden Line will follow, and lastly the Brunswick Line.
