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 Norfolk Southern on the Royalton Branch! 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 coming soon, 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. Thanks for watching!

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

Great footage as always

As always, Eric…excellent work.

Thanks Lewis!!!

6:13 ya boi is Central Penn famous 😱😱

8:17 im the opposite i love seeing push/pulls especially the sound of the sprinters going buy afterwards

Nice!

Love the videos!

Cool that you managed to catch that Alco just by hearing it from across town.

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.

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.

Love the snow shots. Very cool

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!!

Great video and superior commentary.

I’ve watched this video a few times. I love the narration, snow shots and the Pa scenery

nil im gonna miss the old station, it makes a good location to take pictures

Dose so cool I love it🤩🤩🤩🤩

Wow, such a cool video, as usual. Together with the surprisingly unpopular Central Los Andes, this is the best channel on KZread, no doubt. Cheers!

Great video and a lot great details.

I loved your comments on the #666 and flock of crows. Especially since a flock of crows is called a "murder"! 🤣🤣

Wow North east corridor

🌱🍃🇮🇳🌱🍃 Nice

Come down to Parkesburg. there is a pretty good stretch of track for shooting approaches. Let me know and I'll meet ya there. I live 10 minutes walking from the station

12:58 the "pointless arrow" is the old amtrak logo

Ugh I really hope the Keystone Corridor comes to TSW

Very nice. New subscriber 🙂. Question: Are the alternating ditch lights somehow connected to the horn? Thanks

I went there in the Spring / Summer, coming in a future video.

I saw 145 On Saturday

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.

Nice work, was wondering if the Sprinter locos ever fall under the double Pantagraph order???

They do under icy conditions but I don't think that was the case for any in this video.

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

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.

And people hated the F Units because they weren't steam. Times, and minds, change.

I know I’m way late but, how do you figure out the signal names on this line? As far as I know, timetables of this “subdivision” are incredibly hard to find or nonexistent, as are NEC timetables. Great video nonetheless!

Speaking of bad omens... I watched the part of the crows gathering in front of the 666 while this video has 666 likes.. I wonder if that says anything...

Lmao, Amtrak #666
