Recorded November 27th, 2016 (11/27/16). Welcome aboard Amtrak Thanksgiving Holiday Extra Northeast Regional train 1099 (27), originating out of New York Penn Station & bound for Washington DC with leased commuter equipment (NJT GE Arrow III EMU). Along the way, we make the following station stops:
Newark Penn Station - 14:20
Metropark - 31:08
Trenton Transit Center - 1:02:55
30th Street Station, Philadelphia - 1:34:15
Wilmington, DE - 2:07:30
Baltimore Penn Station - 3:04:51
BWI Airport Railway Station - 3:21:02
New Carrollton - 3:38:25
Union Station, Washington DC - 3:47:05
Due to the equipment, we are limited to 80 MPH the entire way down, but despite that, the ride was still pretty decent. We start off in the first car (1361), but end up moving to the second car (1362), so that I can position myself over a motor truck as opposed to a trailer truck. Additionally, the horn on 1361 was crap, so I didn't have a compelling reason to stay in the first car. I apologize for the sun sliding into and out of the shot, as I did not anticipate the winding nature of the Corridor to be an issue with the lighting this time of year. At the very least, the audio is well captured, and the conductor is quite cheerful. Along the way, we play leapfrog with Northeast Regional train 145 @ Hamilton, Trenton, and 30th Street, a pair of guys coming from Philly bound for NYC get on at Trenton after getting off SEPTA only to find out they've gotten on the wrong train and are headed back to Philly, and we see lots and lots of railfans @ various stations. Thanks for watching and enjoy the ride =)

excellent video I rode NJT set when septa borrowed them on the Trenton line during the summer
This train sounds like many jets I've flown in!
When you get spotted at BWI lol. Nice Video
Nice conversion meet at
You can hear those motors howl, nice man.
Those Arrow IIIs are still kicking butt even at 30+ years old. What are the chances of them becoming loco-hauled coaches when they are finally struck by NJTransit?
Wonder how many folks got on the wrong train that day?
Congratulations.
Sounds like the train was about to come off the tracks between
I wish I was able to catch the arrow threes on a way to Washington but that would be so cool if Amtrak use a set of SEPTA's silverliner 5 For the New York Washington trip I'm just saying
I dig the I phone speed meter reflection
Strangest sound. Is that the chopper in the electric controls that makes that sound ? It sounds like a turboprop airplane at the airport ! Aarre Peltomaa
I like this video I love it.
OMG, I can see myself!!!!
Thats me to the right at
NJT Holiday Extra
Or is that sound from the gears of the transmission between the electric motors and the axles ? The old New York City subway trains used to make a gear grinding sound. Aarre Peltomaa
3+ hours in a commuter car seat? How did that work on your body?
How did you find out what equipment would be used and what time it would be in service?
Wow nice
