Mantap salam kenal dari blitar jatim Indonesia 🙏

Awesome catch catching heritage 108 on this limited leading with private cars on the back as well

I have been on the LSL a bunch of times and never knew it reached speeds if 100 mph

Stunning view.

My way to travel 😊

Whats a Private car? that when you steal Resources from the country's you invaded?..

Awesome!

Very nice!

I chased you guys from Summit to Proctor, then fell behind north of there. Truly the greatest, classiest train to ride the rails of the northeast!

I wonder what the POV going that fast would look like in one of the private cars versus the Amtrak Cars

Impressive doing 110+ MPH on wooden ties.

Nice fast stretch. The Hogger was really scorchin' the ties. The alignnent seems to be good for even higher speeds in eome places. That woooooo sound in places with wood ties is so nice. When the Hudson bridge in Albany gets a fix (it's presently limited to 15 Mph), trip time will shure be shortened

At least Richard Anderson is gone now for good and we’ll never see him ever again because he got fired for messing up Amtrak!

wooden rail ties!

Is there anywhere else that trains run that fast on rails with wooden ties? I would think wood wouldn't be strong enough to sustain the stress and to keep the rails in proper alignment for such speeds.

Do you know where it was exactly when it got to 110mph?

Awesome catch! That was fast!

as of today, the first amtrak train in a long time is running all the way from Burlington VT to NYC.

That Son Of A Bitch Is Wheeling!

Awesome, it would be awesome if AAPRCO comes to the R&N one day!

I was under the impression that this line was completely double track again?

Great video my friend

Nice backup. The train stopped a little bit too far from the wall of the platform area. If they get an observation car at the back of the train, it would be much nicer so the westbound train can stop at Metra's Halsted St. Station to backup because the engines are still loud even though Amtrak is still ordering some new Siemens ALC-42 chargers. The Genesis P42 engines will still be on sale in N and HO scales.

Cool that was awesome seeing the trackage on the rear of the train never seen before on cam. I caught this train at the first crossing in the blurr on Lincoln ave in Colonie,NY 14:20. Then I see cheating railfans on railroad property before Mohawk yard SMH. The end of the video is not Schenectady. I think it's somewhere before Clifton park.

The old Delaware and Hudson that track is in fantastic shape still Do freight trains still come through there or is it strictly all just Lakeshore limited line now?

I wish there was a higher quality version... this is pretty crusty

Lol, wonder why it had to stop right after just getting going

nice empty train track LOL

Wow! Don’t blink watching this video!

That track on the right used to run along the river north, under 378, there were steel mills and asphalt plant and concrete plant, and back in the 70s, the whole downtown was train tracks down the middle of the streets. Tracks went over the Hudson in Troy to green island and north through Cohoes NY and Waterford There was Bendix brake manufacturer, Ford motors, like ts of factories, and the tracks went straight, over 787, and through Cohoes to the north, and through Latham and Niskayuna and into Schenectady Tracks ran from Troy north through lansigburg, up to Valley Falls The Cohoes / Green Island, Troy, Waterford area was super busy with trains round the ⏰ cl And Mechanicville NY had 50 track D&H yard and 50 track B&M yard, with the Y connection and the XO tower Lots of Mills all along the river from Mechanicville to Stillwater Coal dealers used to get hopper cars that dumped right along the tracks The Colonie Sub was double tracked the whole way with 2 main lines, and in Cohoes it became 4 with sidings off the 2 sides all through the city into Green Island. I remember just before route 2, there was a cross over and a double signal Tower with searchlight signals The trains would be moved to whichever of the 4 tracks it needed to enter North Gate, which is CPO-5 now and the Watervliet yard was massive and they had many small locos and switchers for the local jobs And they had passenger service still And the trains would fly at 90 mph from Albany to Mechanicville There were trolleys and I remember the diamonds going across all 4 tracks at Ontario St and the trolley went over 2 metal deck bridges, another diamond for the line along the Hudson and then over the 112th st bridge, which was a metal deck that raised both sides as a drawbridge So much rail history and very few people remember and very few photos exist. But people who were kids in the 20s, 30s, 40s, remember taking the trolley everywhere. You could get from Troy to Malta, Saratoga springs, Ballston Lake, pretty much every town And Waterford had a rail yard Every town had sidings and yards Box cars were made of wood and they had stairs they would put along side to unload I really miss the simpler days

17:40 what is that antenna for on the building on the left ? It doesn't look like VHF, nothing I have seen before. These are CSX lines. There should be satellite dishes, but I don't see any. The signals being Reading style, I don't remember that either. There was no over the air ATCS on that line 6 years ago. And as far as I know, there still is none I don't see any 220 MHz antennas either I remember when they did the track work for the trains to be able to do 100 mph between Schenectady and Rensselaer I also remember when rail cars were backed into the cold storage building. That building was a massive freezer and refrigerator. They used Ammonia in the cooling system Lots of history

In different segments of the video , such as 12:21-12:25, it appears the railroad ties are approaching the train. Can anyone please explain this?

Kilómetros no millas... Es por estilo

What's with the flags and white line paint? Is it related for Amtrak?

I thought Amtrak halted hauling private cars few years back. Cool video !

how much does it cost to ride in one

Awesome video! Is this train coming by North Carolina like it did a few years back?

See America! It can be done!! Beautiful track!!!

Nice video, I have been on these rails myself not to long ago. I like the new train station at Schenectady.

This thing sure is kickin' up a lot of ballast dust behind it.

How can I ride on this railcar? It is my dream to ride on one of these.

Amazing catches of the train going that fast, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, I subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal.

Beautiful car!

What's interesting is that the advertise all over the place that the top speed of the lake shore limited is 79MPH. And yet, I was on it and we did in fact reach 110MPH at one point

Dang the hogger ain't wasting time opening the taps. Had you moving at a pretty good clip before you cleared the platforms and then he really opened her up.

Whoa, just whoa...

Awesome catch! I am one of the Midwest Railway Preservation Society employees who worked on restoring the America, I’m so pleased to see a shot of her in service!

When did amtrack raise the top speed from 79mph? How do you know how fast it was going? After doing a 5 minute fact check, top speed on the stretch of track mentioned is still 79mph. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks Bob

Now this is cool. Really cool

could have asked for a more perfect day.
