The BEST Amtrak Engineer Ever! AMTK P079. (ORIGINAL)

[@tf51d]

The engineer should have given those idiots crossing in front of the locomotive a scare by blowing his horn and bells making like the train was departing as they were crossing. I don't think they'd do it again after that.

[@System6VideoProductions]

tf51d oh my god, LOL I would be lmao hard.

[@slowdownmoveoversharethero9701]

Yea but if they got startled and fell and hit their head then Amtrak conductor would be responsible plus then it goes back to why are you even crossing the tracks.

[@JustAThought155]

tf51d, This is what I shared: So the people of this area, Wilson NC, are so stupid that they don't think to walk BEHIND the train across the tracks on the road? Stupid idiots!

[@CaptainJustice166]

CT! People here in Fayetteville, NC are worse lol. See it all the time unfortunately 😐

[@JustAThought155]

Jack Frost You are correct, they aren't idiots...they're foolish!

[@MrAlex-ej8ov]

Once an Amtrak police officer gave me one of those “jr officer” badges, made my day sense the train was delayed. Also got to see some Acela trains.

[@clivegarlow2443]

Great video guys and some very good camera work. Lemme tell'ya, as the train pulled out, I saw the engineer wave at you and damn......I found myself waving back! LOL. Imagine, 75 years old and I still wave at engineers. Just a kid at heart I guess. I've always LUV'D trains. Thank for this video. I had fun!

[@valleygirlgg]

Amtrak is the best means of travel. Jets explode midair and they cant tell you why..I took amtrak from Seattle to Florida. It was 7 days both ways and the most interesting and beautiful train ride I have ever had. I did that 3 times. I hate to fly and there is so much to see by train. I highly recommend it!

[@System6VideoProductions]

valley girl glad you enjoyed your ride!

[@edwardpazdzior1420]

I love trains but I'd rather fly for distances that long. Flying is actually a ton safer as well.

[@System6VideoProductions]

Edward Pazdzior well no. In my preference I’d rather take a train ANY TIME than an airplane. Think of 9/11 think of the challenger explosion. All the airplane incidents. Sure Amtrak has had there accident and problems. But they were quote “accidental” Amtrak had Mechanical problems, but fixed it immediately. But now that some locomotives that wreck now are scrapped or barely fixed. Now when I rode the train just recently I saw an old Amtrak turboliner in new Acela paint. Which was a surprise to me. But I still prefer trains. Airbus airplanes scare me.

[@edwardpazdzior1420]

I always go by the numbers. Airline safety is technically a ton safer if you look at fatalities per number of people that fly. Amtrak is always late too. It it pretty sad if airlines have a better on time performance than Amtrak. Loading an airplane with luggage and people and flying it to it's destination is much more complex but yet they still get you there "on time" a lot more of the time. Amtrak equipment is ancient. They don't own a majority of the rails they ride on and lose priority and end up sitting and waiting for freight traffic sometimes. I'm sorry but Amtrak is broken and has been for awhile.

[@System6VideoProductions]

Edward Pazdzior i understand that. But Amtrak isn’t always perfect. But to me Amtrak will always be my fondest memory of railfanning. I’m not against what you said, but you did prove a good point there. But in this video this train was surprisingly on time. Like I said we both have our differences in opinions.

[@System6VideoProductions]

[@dblissmn]

Great engineer! You should talk a bit about the location in your description. I was able to figure out from the signage and landmarks that it was Wilson NC....also is Amtrak regularly putting baggage cars like that on the NC state supported trains? Hope your hand is fully healed by now.

[@System6VideoProductions]

dblissmn I forgot to mention the location, sorry, but besides, the damage my with my hand the doctor said it might be lifelong, and the baggage in some stations have the same hand crank but some have the automatic crank or elevated platforms, and sorry for the shaking that’s because of my problem with my hand. And I do have new content you could check out, but thanks for viewing this video, people like you make me feel good about this video and others. Hope your doing well yourself.

[@carolemerckel3461]

Where I volunteer at a Missouri station between KC and St.Louis we were told that the extra baggage cars on our trains were added for more weight on the trains to help with signaling and PTC.

[@themikeshow]

I was trying to offer constructive criticism in a humorous way. This video was almost excellent, only marred by incessant and unnecessary zooming and panning. I watch KZbin on a big screen, and wild camera movement is actually almost nauseating. Several other commenters have mentioned this, some more politely than others. When you took your hands off the camera and left it on the tripod, the video became a 10/10. If we find that one small portion of your video with the zooming annoying, and it hurts your hand to move the camera and zoom it, then why do it. Put it on the tripod and stand back. I like your video, you shouldn't be so thin-skinned and you should be more open to criticism. If you were showing a video to your friend in your house and they said the same thing that I did, I'm sure you wouldn't act so insulted. I honestly am trying to be helpful. Not criticizing is not being helpful.
