- Sit back and watch the entire ride between Philadelphia and Newark, DE from the front of a SEPTA Silverliner V! Enjoy meets with Acela trains, see your favorite spots from a new perspective, or just sit back and enjoy the ride!
After two years and three or four unsuccessful attempts, I finally caught a Silverliner V from Philadelphia to Newark, DE to film a Silverliner V Ride on the lower portion of SEPTA's share of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. I hope you enjoy this squeal to my most popular video, the Trenton-Philly ride ( • Silverliner V Railfan ... ). I know many of you have requested a second ride after the first video. I was amazed at the positive feedback and reception that the first video received from all over the world! So I am happy to present to you the second full length Silverliner V ride video from Acelaphillies. Sit back and enjoy the FULL UNCUT ride from Philadelphia 30th Street Station all the way to Newark, DE. This video is filled with action including meets with Acela Express trains, Amtrak Northeast Regionals, and SEPTA locals. I encourage you to watch the video however you would like. You can just press play and watch the entire thing or if you would rather I have included a video index below to help you find the parts that you want to see most.

Please note: I apologize for the sun glare in some sections. I tried multiple times to ride a morning train, but unfortunately the afternoon was the only time that I could catch a Silverliner V all the way to Newark. I was hoping the sun would be behind the train, but in some shots the sun highlights the dirt on the window and makes it hard to see. Watching in full HD will definitely help this problem.

Thanks for bringing back my childhood and adolescent memories, acelaphillies!
Please SEPTA wash the windows once in a while.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Despite the less than pristine window you were dealt with courtesy of SEPTA, I'm AMAZED at the distance (or lack thereof) between several stations. Is it my imagination, or are they spaced approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile apart (at most)?? Patience of Joab... for sure.
John, thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it and it is encouraging to hear from viewers that are enjoying my videos. Your eyes do not deceive you, those SEPTA stations really are that close!! The first time that I ever rode through this section was aboard Amtrak and I was absolutely stunned by the proximity of some of the stations. Especially the portion between Sharon Hill and Prospect Park. Going through there you can literally see the next one or two stations from the one that you are currently at. Most of the stations are .7 miles apart there according to Wikipedia, but Sharon Hill and Folcroft are reportedly the closest at 1/2 mile. I still don't fully understand it, but the stations were built during the PRR era when many people apparently commuted using the stations and maybe didn't have other options. Thanks again for the kind words and for checking in!
Septa is a unique railroad. Their EMUs are so simple. And their infrastructure is antique
Awesome video, thanks for sharing! I watched the Trenton Line video and its just as good! You should do more vsilverliner 5 ride videos on other lines. Keep up the good work :)
Man....just ....man, you just saved my marriage with your awesome railfan view videos, your videos are golden, Pentrex & Berkos videos don't even come close, I'm from New York & all my life I rode trains all the time, I even broke dates to ride trains, I've since retired to Florida which if I see like 3 trains a day on the CSX A Line that's a good day & maybe like 7 per day on FEC, I've been pressuring my wife to relocate back to Long Island so I can ride trains again, she's very close to having me baker acted but with your videos & a Rail Controller with a loco horn, bell & other train sounds software program & streaming Broadcastify AMTRAK DC Union Station I'm good to go, again thanks my friend , you have done a wonderful thing.
Great video! This is exactly the one I'm looking for, I've been searching full ride videos to/from Newark for more than a year... btw I saw that there're a great many SEPTA trains bound for Philly in the first half hour, is it just the normal schedule or that day is different? I saw the express train pulling out from Newark though... Thanks!
Amtrak/SEPTA reconfigured Arsenal Interlocking. I don't know what it looks like now though.
I think you have "Sparked my Fire" with this Video and i might Remake this route on Train Simulator 2015 since the one i have now got problems as i tried to do the Whole System. Thank you for a wonderful Video.
Glad I could help spark your imagination! Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Enjoyed the ride under the wires! Thanks.
Thanks for the ride
Greets from France bro
Thanks for watching!
It is an interesting video.
Is that train 2760 or 9294 whizzing by in the Philly-bound direction at Folcroft?
"THIS STOP MARCUS HOUK"! :)
JUst watched your video on the Silverline V to Wilmington. I used to ride the 4's every day to and from Work. Pjilly to Wilmington and Back. What do you think of the ride of the V compared to the IV?
nice!
Great video. Wish the window was clean.
Well done! I waswondering how the trains got from 30th Street to Wilmington. Thank you!
This is the equivalent of MARC's northern Penn Line (Baltimore - Wilmington, DE) - the two meet in Wilmington. (The Bear shops (which AMTRAK owns) are used by AMTRAK, MARC, and SEPTA under contract for maintenance.)
I was on that before
Geez that window is dirty
No problem
No problemo
Aside from the dirty windows wer you by chance shooting with telephoto lens? I ask as I have had 4 cab rides on the old MU Metroliner and one in an AEM7 and I dont remember the curves in the route being as tight radius as in the video.
The dirty window is an embarrassment, never seen the like in any European videos.

Question how fast can trains on the R2 Wilmington/Newark line go? is it any different than the R7 Trenton line when it comes to speed limits
ploopy523 Good question. In the summer of 2013 the SLV max speed was raised from 90mph to 100mph in all Amtrak territory that has a 100+mph speed limit. So this includes the Wilmington/Newark Line, Trenton Line, and also the Keystone Corridor (Paoli/Thorndale Line).
No, it was 95mph before that test
+ploopy523 To answer your question, it usually goes about 20-30 miles on the track. When it reaches it top speed, it goes about 90-100 miles an hour
Havard Castiglioni you're 7 months late on this conversation sorry buddy, I had the answer from the creator of the video and SEPTA can go 90-100mph on the Keystone Corridor along with the SEPTA R7 Trenton Line, and I've been on the Trenton Line
see SEPTA wandering '98
I really wish they cleaned their windows better.
Cleaning cost money. If it doesn't imped the operation of the train why bother? (im sure they clean the drivers windows, though they probably just use Windex.)
Can I make a Timelapse of this and credit you?
Sure!
@@danielgibson6788 alright I’ll do it once I get space thanks
JESUS, WASH THE FRIGGIN' WINDOWS !!!! I'M HALF BLIND FROM "THE 'NAM" , AND, YOU AIN'T HELPING ANY THING !!!! THIS IS A GREAT RIDE, BUT, YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHIN' WITH THE WINDOW(S) !!!!!
Must see? It would be nice to see - if you hadn't have shot this video through the dirtiest window you could find.
What a shame, you can hardly see anything through the dirty window (I know it's not your fault).
they getting new septa acs-64s,septa is
All the commuter railroads along the NEC are getting them - - the only exception MAY be VRE. I have never traveled north of the BTC on SEPTA - only on AMTRAK. My last trip to the BTC was not even by rail, but for a different sort of "pit stop*. (The BTC is off DE 4, and has its own exit off Interstate 95 in Wilmington proper - the is a gas station there. The only times I was there was to catch AMTRAK - which is true n anywhne from north of WIlmington DE to Chester, PA - as AMTRAK does not stop anywhere between the BTC and 30th Street Station.
I'm always curious to how a signal knows what to make itself. I mean when 95% of these signals were installed their wasn't a such thing as a computer. what is even the point of having a station every 10-50 feet? why is the idiot conductor announcing the stops? the $3 million car can do itself.
you don't need a modern computer to run a signaling interlocking. rather relays and mechanical lockings where used back in the day
every piece of track (called a "block"), has electricity passed around it's length to check if a train is present, if so, continuity will be shunted, trough the passing of axles that makes a short circuit, closing a semaphore guarding said block. (lack of electricity will make the system fail safe, as is unable to prove an empty track)
for every block that has been proven, you can make a multi aspect signaling.
[Train 1]=====>Green>=======>Yellow>=======>Red>===[Train 2].
I addition the PRR installed in 1930 devices in tracks that sends pulsing codes so that trains can capture that and display what signal aspect comes next.
How could you not clean the window. It was your name going on this product.
How is he supposed to clean the outside of the window? That's on SEPTA, not acelaphillies.
Would have been better if not filmed behind a bug-splattered windshield.
Ehh window goes straight up and down so it will catch everything.
About 1/3 of these stations need to be closed.
Seriously! I mean, a few are literally within walking distance. #facepalm
You have to consider something. the northern part of the mainline (from 30th Street to Trenton was built by one company and the northern part was built by another company. At the time the PRR only owned the line from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The connecting railway bridge was built to connect the two halves and PRR took control of both halves. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad is who built the southern line. They were the ones that laid out the stations, not SEPTA/PRR. At the time the line was built the line was the fastest way into the city. Even though now its obsolete idea it takes a lot of work to cut out a station. they have to get STB approval. (The original line to Wilmington is actually now the Airport Line).
The.videos..are.to.short.
Somebody clean those windows, you can not see anything
Your Trains never have clean windows!
Oo la..mightily queer..who'd have imagined the Americas' lone high speed train sharing tracks with tram services, yeah.. .. . .
