Septa SL5 RFW from Doylestown to Philadelphia. Most of ride is seen. Loud horn!! 5/8/24

On this lovely Mother's Day, my mom found a picture of me around 1985 getting off the train in North Wales to visit some family who owned a farm up that way. About a mile from the train station was the old West Point Park which was a small amusement park. So much has changed up that way with all of the development. If you ever get off at Colmar (Rt.309), there's a Yum Yum Donuts. Great place to grab a cruller and a coffee

Really enjoy your videos, RRHG! - especially the recent batch from my 'home' area - Philly/SEPTA. Your narration and text commentary is really appreciated by those of us that know (or want to know) about both current and historical details along the line. Thanks for your time and effort on these !!

For anyone wondering why the horns on the Silverliner Vs vary in loudness, these cars seem to be fitted with high flow regulators before the GW 353 horn valve located in the cab. As delivered, the horns were ran at full pressure and pipe, causing the horns to be incredibly loud. SEPTA seems to have adjusted that pressure regulator to a much lower pressure, giving the Silverliner Vs a softer sounding K3LA compared to ones fitted on your average freight locomotive. This one just happens to have a higher set regulator than some of the other cars.

Nice ride. And you chose this train because it operated with Silverliner V equipment. Thanks Tim💚🖖

I stumbled on "1950's New Haven 8mm Films by Alan Thomas" at William Sternizke's youtube site. It's 50's and all trains. In color too.

Another great ride along😊😊

I have family that used to live in North Wales. They used to take me down to the North Wales station and watch for a couple hours.

I rode this a couple of times back in the 1960s when it was still the Reading. Not much change except the missing giant train shed at Reading terminal.

It kinda blows my mind that these single track lines are electrified with catenary of all things, vs the LIRR which mainly goes "eeeeh screw it, diesel"

Here are my lines. Fort Washington: I once rode a horse from Binghamton all the way to Fort Washington. North Hills: I once discovered abandoned Mills just beyond the city of North Hills. Jenkintown-Wyncote: I went on a tour by boat and saw the lovely town of Jenkintown-Wyncote.

Well done 👏 ✔️

Any of you rail fans here ever take Amtrack from Buffalo to NYC? We are considering it this summer. Thanks.

I’m surprised they’re allowed to express through New Britain like that. I get trying to the keep schedule but if I were waiting in my car or just off the platform I’d be pissed.

Do the Wawa Route again sometime soon or Ride To Wilmington Delaware then go to the Wilmington and Western tourists train ride the excursion train that goes to Hockessoion Delaware

Can you railfan the ambler station?

I don’t remember septa trains running this slow
