  • Amtrak trains speeding through the snow, heritage units, horn salutes, new station construction and more! I took a few trips to the Amtrak Keystone Corridor in the winter of 2021 to see the progress of the new Middletown Station construction, as well as document the site of the old platform. While I was there, the Middletown & Hummelstown Railroad also made an appearance, and some NS as well. While not every visit was covered in snow, the beautiful clear winter days between storms were perfect to take advantage of capturing Amtrak's Phase III Heritage Unit 145 in service on the Pennsylvanian.
    I also stopped by my favorite spots in Mt Joy and to get my first snow shots at the then relatively new Mount Joy station, which offers a great place for railfans and passengers alike. A few other locations were visited as well.
    In the next video, I'll start my day in Middletown and chase a train down the Royalton Branch all the way down to the Northeast Corridor where we were met with snow & ice.

    I love the Keystone Corridor! It's so awesome that an electrified passenger rail line goes deep into PA

    Really excellent video with some very good shots ( and a couple nice horn salutes ) along a nice stretch of Keystone country. Hopefully Amtrak ( and Septa ) will increase service back to previous levels soon.

  • @scenicdepictionsofchicagolife

    I kinda like how that double ACS-64 six cat consist looked... like a whole lot. I wish they'd run all corridor electrics like that and perhaps with new venture passenger coaches. A good reason to buy more city sprinters!!

    Very Cool Catches!! I also love your exploration of New Sopts and Camera angles!! To be honest, I did head over to the Keystone Corridor in 2020, but not as often as in 2021. But even then I failed 2 see the New Station in construction in person. But Did Catch Amtrak 108 Leading 43 near Eby Chquies Road in December.

    Where are most of the accessible signals located along this line? I've never gotten a chance to really fan it before and I'm planning a trip there in a couple weeks.

  • @AndreiTupolev
    @AndreiTupolev Před 2 lety +2

    I find it said how Amtrak's latest motive power has sadly gone downhill aesthetically from their predecessors. Compare an ACS-64 with an HHP-8 (or the new generation Acela with its predecessor), and most of all a Siemens Charger with a P42DC. 😕

    • @CentralPennRailProductions
      @CentralPennRailProductions  Před 2 lety +1

      I think the only thing I am looking forward too is the Siemens chargers in the heritage schemes, otherwise I will miss the P42s. A lot of them have ACSES for the Keystone Corridor so they may stick around for a bit. The repurposing of HHP-8 as cab cars will also be bizarre to see if that comes to reality.
