EXCLUSIVE! Amtrak Cab Ride on Amtrak Keystone Paoli-Downingtown

On 5/6/2015 A nice Amtrak Keystone Engineer (Name will not be shown for privacy reasons) let me and my uncle in the cab of Cab Car #9646. This Engineer is very nice and generous and he's seen me Railfanning 100 times. Nice Engineer.

I know its been a while since this was posted but this is a great video. Nice hearing a really enthusiastic dad with his son. An some good stories too!

[@LookOutForTheTrain]

Nice! Lucky and a cool engineer! Once a conductor offered to let me see the engineer. I now wish I hadn't of declined his offer.

Miss seeing these in San Diego back in the late 1990's.

Col Ryan! I got to do this to on my birthday it was awesome. Only difference is I was in 9640. Good Video

[@KeystoneCorridorProductions]

Nope

[@KeystoneCorridorProductions]

I went to nyc

[@KeystoneCorridorProductions]

So I could video

[@samplays3971]

Mostly because I knew the conductor and how to drive and engineer but the thing is I like the horn, yiu would hear it blowing every 5 minutes

[@samplays3971]

I got to go up in cabs alot

[@hayward6788]

That was nice of him. I wonder if they will let anyone get footage if it's not leading?

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

The door to the cab is locked but you can see it from the passenger seats

[@KeystoneCorridorProductions]

Also I did mine from 30th Street to lancaster

9646 was originally #813 when delivered to the Penn Central - and paired with #812, which is now 9638. Kinda bugs me that they didn't keep some sort of sequence to the numbering relative to the original car numbers (for example, #800 becoming 9645, while its pair, #801 became #9647, as opposed to say, #800 becoming something like 9644, #801 becoming 9645, etc)

I was on that same cab car yesterday

[@amjkodaz]

How do you get cab rides?

[@DpLfilms]

Lucky! But keep in mind you could get the engineer in trouble by posting this because you can see his face.

[@samplays3971]

That's an old cab, the new ones have different buttons n stuff

[@cats0182]

What he did was illegal then, and would be even more dangerous today. He's talking while operating. He's distracted. He put the people on that train in danger. Stupid stunt.

[@trainboy15]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. He did not put anyone in danger nor is he distracted. He’s been operating trains for 41 years he said. I bet he could operate that route with his eyes closed.
