Part 2 Amtrak's great Pennsylvania Railroad, Northeast Corridor
Train 79, the morning "Carolinian". From NY to Wash. DC. It's the entire railroad! (also see part 1) • Part 1 Amtrak's great ... Impressive NJ Transit commuter action, watch as dozens of inbound trains receive approach and clear signal rushing their way into the big apple. Politicians note, see the big bottleneck, this is why we need a new Hudson River tunnel! Watch as another bottleneck develops because of downed wires in the Baltimore tunnel. As repairs are being made, both Acela and a Marc train have to wait their turn to transverse the ancient tunnel. Recorded Sunday 2011 from WHI to BAL and autumn of 2013 BAL to WAS

Looks like this left Wilmington, DE
Well done, Walter. One hundred 85 minutes of great RR video. Watching those catenary poles streak rhythmically by calls to my mind "Love Train". :) BTW I've ridden AMTK (cumulatively) from Wilmington to Back Bay, the T commuter rail from South Station to Back Bay (the NEC's northernmost mile), and SEPTA (again, cumulatively) from Jefferson (formerly Market East) Station in Center City Philly to Newark, DE (as well as in from Elwyn to Suburban and from Reading into Reading Terminal [showing my age]). Plus the LIRR from NYP to Bethpage.
Wow! The Pennsy sure built a Masterpiece from NYC to D.C. And no wonder it was called "The Happy Hunting Ground" below Wilmington for running fast freights back on the PRR and PC. That track was built for speed. There's an old story in the late 70's that a Trio of GG1's had a 100+ car mixed freight and did 110mph between PERRY and DAVIS.
NICE electrification! 11kV single phase at 25 Hz!
Baltimore Penn Station is funny - the southbound trains leave the station to the north, and the northbound trains come in/leave toward the south. It's a beautiful building, though; here's hoping they find the funds to do another round of improvements/renovations (and, you know, take care of the godawful ancient tunnels on either side of the station).
i filmed on this train a year ago. from philly to greensboro nc. this was a fun trip for me. only my second rail trip. ( excluding metra in chicago)
It would be appreciated by those not familiar with the area, to have location identifiers in the video. 2023/10/17. Ontario, Canada.

Thanks, that was Awesome!
Great video! I'm crossing my fingers that there's a part 3 that goes the rest of the way to North Carolina!!!
I have added this video to the playlist 'long cab rides'. I have reviewed hundreds of cab ride videos and added the ones I think are the best.

willysmb44: the old trackside structure to which you refer is a wooden clapboard house, boarded up, which can be viewed on Google Earth along E. Michaelsville Rd. and Johnson Lane. it is in a very small community of residential homes.
loved the videos, a little commentary here and there would have been helpful...miss the station calls over the intercom.
That's Newark, Delaware's station at
hope to be on amtrak to washington soon...will try to visit the african-american museum as soon as i can...

How long did you end up waiting for outside of Baltimore?
