East Coast Trains 2023
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
For the first time since 2017, I had the opportunity to take a long filming trip to the Northeastern United States. I was able to film several different railroads operating in the states of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Virginia, Maryland, Vermont, Massachusetts, and West Virginia. In this video, I'll show you a sampling of these different trains including three different steam railroads, high speed Amtrak passenger trains, five different commuter railroads, freight, and more! In the coming weeks, I will be posting even more videos showcasing some of the individual trains I was able to film. Stay tuned!

We have more trains to watch FOREVER🗿

Great video. I'm glad you captured the Auto Train. I have taken several trips on that train. I often railfan VRE and Amtrak at the Manassas Amtrak station. Next time you are in the DC area, go to Alexandria, VA; lots of action. That's where the 2 VRE northbound lines merge as well as the Amtrak lines (NS and CSX lines).
Fantastic video. ❤

1:47 You finally made it to the Amtrak Mill River/Springfield (MA) Line in Windsor Locks CT and caught CT Southern's (CSOR) CSO-4 on their afternoon southbound run to their yard in Hartford CT. My go to spot is a few miles up the road in Windsor CT at Hayden Station Rd. Was wondering when you'd show up in my area, too bad our paths didn't cross would have liked to have said hi between trains.
