PATCO Speedline Train Operator Observation from 15/16th & Locust to Lindenwold

VIDEO TAKEN WITH PERMISSION!!! I say that to avoid any future negative comments.. This was the last 4 car set of the non-refurbished PATCO II cars. These are the 1980 Canadian Vickers cars in service for the last time before getting sent to Hornell, NY to Alstom to get rehabbed. PATCO was generous enough to make a mini event out of it.

Fan Railer I can imagine OpenBVE for this Speedline

[@havenas1020yt]

Thanks man!!! Im glad the PATCO Operators were cool with us recording

[@FanRailer]

Yea, PATCO is pretty railfan friendly. They once defended me on twitter after a woman reported me as being suspicious on their feed. Also, Miles B already coded PATCO for openBVE. Looks really good.

Ok, Vickers Cars? Weren't these cars made by Budd? If I'm ill informed, please fill me in!

[@havenas1020yt]

The first order of PATCO cars was built by Budd in the late 60s, Budd then licensed for Vickers to build PATCO II cars in the 80s.

Dynamic braking is strong on this type

Interesting how he turns the throttle handle to the left to activate the train brakes

[@trainman1971]

Now if only he'd been running in auto mode... lol

[@havenas1020yt]

trainman1971 i have video of that too but the train enthusiasts there and the passengers were obnoxiously loud during the trip. I stopped filming at Collingswood Philly bound because of that

[@trainman1971]

Ahhhh, gotcha.

You should do one on the septa 100 line and do the same thing and preferably ask them shat all the controls do? That's what I really want to know Great video anyway
