Ride on VRE

[@JaxB-po8ld]

I love this video! It’s the best VRE is awesome!!

[@Nerdy_dude]

So happy you went on my home train line.

[@JaxB-po8ld]

Great video by the way

[@JeffWalsh-u1s]

I am impressed with your knowledge of the trains and the many areas that you rail fan and travel through. How did you become so knowledgeable.

[@3985uprr]

Hard to say. It’s amazing what you can learn if you have the interest

[@Alfscan777]

Sure would like to see the interior of that VRE… I ride Amtrak a lot… never been on a VRE

[@tyhik9338]

Awesome

[@JaxB-po8ld]

I’ve never ridden the VRE in my life! It’s time to change it

[@s.s.99]

I was wondering when you planned on doing a VRE video. Amtrak and VRE seemed really tight before COVID-19 hit. VRE used to allow Amtrak riders to travel on their trains and you could even flag stop certain Amtrak NE Regional trains at L’Enfant Station. So much changed in 3 years, jeez

I'm impressed with how clean their cars and engines look, but the train ran rather slowly. How does their double-decker car compare with the LIRR's?

[@3985uprr]

They are higher than LIRR. Easier to climb.

[@MidnightAspec]

@@3985uprrhow about compared with the NJT Multilevels?

[@Jeff-uj8xi]

@@MidnightAspec Thank you for using the correct terminology. Yes, it's Multilevel cars, not double deckers.

[@MiddleboroLakevilleRailfan]

Are you headed up to MA this weekend? If so I may be able to railfan.

[@3985uprr]

Not until next week

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

@@3985uprr when next week? Would love to meet up!

[@3985uprr]

I’ll be on the property Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday but I’ll be bouncing around a lot so I really couldn’t tell you where I would be at any one time. I’ll tell you that I am spending a couple of nights in Mansfield.

[@thefanridrshow1967]

I rode the Chicago train. the seats move back and forth. Metro Trains

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

Out of curiosity, do you ever find climbing up the stairs in the gallery cars to the second level irritating at all?

[@3985uprr]

Not really. One must be careful of course.

[@proudpirate1236]

Why does the locomotive engineer need to call out the signals? Shouldn't the signal operator already know what the signal is?

[@3985uprr]

Added safety and alertness factor

[@Jeff-uj8xi]

Tim, I too love the radio chatter. I wish you could use your scanner on the LIRR, Metro NORTH, SEPTA and N. J. Transit. Amtrak and the MBTA would be nice too. I know you're concerned about annoying other passengers. But I've heard some very annoying passengers and kids on some videos.

[@3985uprr]

Well, those annoying passengers were accidents without a scanner. I just hate to think what they would be like if I had one.
