Winter 2024 Amtrak and NJ Transit Railfanning on the Northeast Corridor

Made many small trips out to the corridor this winter in the rain, snow, and shine. Saw 642 leading the Pennysylvanian with 3 private cars as well as 3 work geeps towing a dead Keystone, and much more! Lots of snow action as well.

That Keystone + Carolinian was for sure a big one!

[@nathanjiang100]

it's an 11 car Northeast Regional that runs sundays only that combines a Keystone and Carolinian consist (minus the baggage car)

Riding 196 PHL to NYC on 3/13. Fast train!!! This connects well with the Long Island railroad.

[@nathanjiang100]

yep, it's guaranteed to be double-ended as well for fast turnaround times so you'll have plenty of power to meet that fast schedule

[@3985uprr]

Not crazy about the forward/rearward facing seats though. No rear vestibule on this

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

Oh a funny number

[@YaEstoyDeRegreso]

Perfect👌🇺🇲

[@allyreneepenny9447]

Awesome trains 🇺🇸👍

[@3985uprr]

I wonder if Amtrak will reinstate the nonstop New York to Washington Acela

[@nathanjiang100]

probably when the Duckcela enters service. They took 4 sets out of service during the pandemic and are being used for parts now so they don't even have enough equipment to run hourly regular Acelas.

17:59 that was the silver star????? What happened to the sleeping accommodations??

[@nathanjiang100]

that was the Pennsylvanian 43, I corrected that in the live chat

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

@@nathanjiang100awesome catches, I saw 42 on January 1st at Paradise with the private cars, the silver one and the one with the observation platform are now at Reading & Northern as of now and they were dropped off during January

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

@@nathanjiang100also what was that sound from the Acela before the horn at 23:44

[@nathanjiang100]

@@Keystone1906_Productionsnot sure, probably some alarm or something

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

@@nathanjiang100 oh ok, at least you got snow shots of the trains
