Rode the El Capitan from Chicago to Los Angeles and back in 1967 as a 12 year old. Dad took us on that trip as Mom had a fear of flying. It was the best trip of my life filled with wonderful memories (mainly the crew, passengers, train and scenery)!

Thank goodness for the AEM-7. It and the F40PH saves Amtrak when it really mattered.

Use venture cars

Wow very expensive

Fantastic video!!! And thank you for sharing your little adventure with us. Also that view behind the locomotive was incredible.

I grew up in a house about 50 feet from a Railroad yard. Daily we would hear passenger trains go by so fast. Also, really long freight trains would struggle along, engines roaring and loud horns blowing as t approached a railroad crossing. This happened at all times during the day and night. I loved watching them. My Dad and oldest uncle were labor workers on a private railroad company.

I did pay for the thrill of calling from the Rail Fone! I kept it to 3 minutes and could say I did it.

I grew up in this area and train watched from many locations shown. Always wondered what traveling this region by passenger train would be like. Thanks much for this video.

And it was known for the New York Central J-3 streamline Dreyfus Hudson

I was not able to catch the trip on Monday, but I did chase it back to Solvay from Geneva! ruclips.net/video/Xdqjuuqk2Q4/видео.htmlsi=c1FW6ON9Epyy9SrX

History teaches that what killed early rail development was the government - not the lack of real estate opportunities. The US government heavily subsidized other forms of travel, and less dense forms of development that directly hurt the rail+land model. No rail project will ever solely depends on ticket sales - look at the Japanese Rail example, MTR etc

What's the UP car on the rear?

Nice vid. Beautiful area. Too bad it was gloomy!

You'll pardon my ignorance, but I've never heard of "Finger Lakes Railroad'. Can somebody enlighten me as to exactly where it is, the track mileage, etc? In advance...Thanks !!

My old stomping grounds.. I'm from Syracuse but I now live in the central coast of cal.

Thank you for sharing my video in the description with your followers!

Nice video! That must've been an amazing ride!

thank you

Thanks for joining us in #BlueRidgeClub

I actually saw you go buy in Geneva Tuesday and today Saturday

Thanks Mike!

Why is it called the Borealis?

Don't worry, I gotcha. This restaurant is in Des Plaines, Illinois

Seen thisndone many times with G scale trains... but with O gauge?! Thats impressive.

my autistic ass needs to go

13:24 When looking up "Lamberts Point" the results show a coal shipping port in Virginia... This appears to be Point Arguello just south of Lompoc-Surf station. Is that correct?

Now me, I'd hitch to the back of a super long freight train, hitched to the rearmost locomotive for power of course. Just take a super slow super long ride across the country.

Theory: METX 181 in 2002 was blue/orange not lighting bolt paint scheme same as the F40PHMs but they were converted to f40phm-3 and also instead of Nippon Sharyo cab cars they has budd cb&q cab cars

Which year is better for Metra BNSF 2002 or 2024

Cog

I’d love to ride!

My great uncle Wayne worked for the Frisco out of kansas City back in the day of steam.

Acela is profitable, maybe Surfliner as well? Aren't those the more relevant comps than just "Amtrak"?

The 1st Cog railway was in Cow Hampshire!

You should do a video about the Big Boy 4014

Awesome!

Like your video man. I think that every transport company should be owned by then government essentially since it already gives tax dollars to those companies anyways for the most part. Privatizing passengers rail, from what I’ve seen, has not been successful thus far.

The genesis take care of the new borealis train

Very nice filmography. With home theater surround sound, it's like standing trackside. Really enjoyed the variety. Once again, thanks for the time and effort to bring these locations and action to us!

Good work 👍

Outstanding video

Did you know that the very first ever train to run at night time left Cumberland,Maryland for Baltimore in 1848?

Great compilation Mike

There is no railway culture in US because government's promoted Road and Airport's. System is built in a way discourages to bring new trains Private railways doesn't work in every country but Japan is an exception Train ticket rates are in between Road and Airport's price with minimum speed 200 kmph There is an marketing and aspirations to bring new trains and new routes but there is no ground reality to make it happen

Your video inspired me to make the drive from Akron Ohio (near Cleveland) to Roundout. But is there a spot off the footbridge to film track-level scenes? Thanks!!

My great-grandfather was an engineer, and ran the Buffalo - Cleveland segment! Great history!

The most famous train in the world is without a doubt the Orient Express. I might have settled for the Trans Siberian Express. I have never heard of that train...

Awesome catch!

I like that they're using all phase 7 P42S

Song?
