The iconic braking sound of the amfleets. Still the same to this day
-
5:40 Man riding a "Hot Box" tanker like a BOSS!!!!!

I've rode on the Metroliner once or twice and am old enough to have seen the GG-1 in active service so my appreciation for this uploaded can not be overstated! Thank You for this!

Great video! Brings back memories. I miss the low platforms. As a kid, I'd ride my bike there and enjoy the show but I don't recall the GG1s. I think I missed them on the NEC by a year or two, or they weren't what I was looking for (my version as a kid was the TYCO brown one with incorrect wheels). Everything else I saw. Except an Arrow blowing through the station - I've never seen one not stop at Princeton Junction! I also remember the pre-Arrow Dinky!

1:45 OMG that Metroliner horn, holy "sour horns," Batman! Sounds like someone sat on some geese! š

Iām amazed that the Amfleets are still run in present day and how much has changed 50 years later

This is what I call āReal Railroadingā !!! I come here every year on my vacation & love ā¤ļø the train š action here !!! Although Iām from the Midwest home of railroads, the NEC is my favorite š¤© !!!

Fantastic! Love seeing old classic videos in color and a bonus with the actual live recordings! Love it!!

The E60s had nice horns.
-
Amazing seeing the Arrows so shiny.
-
10:28 this sounds like a Indian railway locomotive
-
Fun that these same Amfleets today are serving about as long as the GG1s were in the 70s.
-
Pretty amazing that those amfleetās are still serving commuters in the Northeast to this day
-
So lovely. So weird seeing paper being kicked around.. Just love the electric conrail don't think i ever saw that before
-
7:21 looks like Amtrak No. 10000, the former Adolphus business car running platform first. Great video!
-
7:26 Shiny new Arrow IIIs, crazy that these are still 44 years later. Lowkey the best NJT train. In those times they were NJDOT.
-
5:26 CR 2233 -- same engine restored and on display at RR Museum of PA?
-
I love the shiny Amtrak cars!
-
Fantastic video of a unique part of American railroading history! :D I was just wondering, would it be possible for me to use this footage as part of an upcoming documentary I'm creating about the history of the Budd Metroliner?

I spent many a day at Princeton Jct between 1974-76, Look at the variety, something that is amiss today. There were at least 14 long distance trains a day with a mixed bag of heritage equipment pulled by GG1's and E60's. All that mixed in with freight trains and bolted rail.
