  @mariovieira838 Жыл бұрын

  Nice fast stretch. The Hogger was really scorchin' the ties. The alignnent seems to be good for even higher speeds in eome places. That woooooo sound in places with wood ties is so nice. When the Hudson bridge in Albany gets a fix (it's presently limited to 15 Mph), trip time will shure be shortened

  Maybe, but after the bridge is a fairly sharp curve and the station. I wouldn't expect to much other than more reliability from the bridge not causing delays.

  Nice backup. The train stopped a little bit too far from the wall of the platform area. If they get an observation car at the back of the train, it would be much nicer so the westbound train can stop at Metra's Halsted St. Station to backup because the engines are still loud even though Amtrak is still ordering some new Siemens ALC-42 chargers. The Genesis P42 engines will still be on sale in N and HO scales.

  That track on the right used to run along the river north, under 378, there were steel mills and asphalt plant and concrete plant, and back in the 70s, the whole downtown was train tracks down the middle of the streets. Tracks went over the Hudson in Troy to green island and north through Cohoes NY and Waterford There was Bendix brake manufacturer, Ford motors, like ts of factories, and the tracks went straight, over 787, and through Cohoes to the north, and through Latham and Niskayuna and into Schenectady Tracks ran from Troy north through lansigburg, up to Valley Falls The Cohoes / Green Island, Troy, Waterford area was super busy with trains round the ⏰ cl And Mechanicville NY had 50 track D&H yard and 50 track B&M yard, with the Y connection and the XO tower Lots of Mills all along the river from Mechanicville to Stillwater Coal dealers used to get hopper cars that dumped right along the tracks The Colonie Sub was double tracked the whole way with 2 main lines, and in Cohoes it became 4 with sidings off the 2 sides all through the city into Green Island. I remember just before route 2, there was a cross over and a double signal Tower with searchlight signals The trains would be moved to whichever of the 4 tracks it needed to enter North Gate, which is CPO-5 now and the Watervliet yard was massive and they had many small locos and switchers for the local jobs And they had passenger service still And the trains would fly at 90 mph from Albany to Mechanicville There were trolleys and I remember the diamonds going across all 4 tracks at Ontario St and the trolley went over 2 metal deck bridges, another diamond for the line along the Hudson and then over the 112th st bridge, which was a metal deck that raised both sides as a drawbridge So much rail history and very few people remember and very few photos exist. But people who were kids in the 20s, 30s, 40s, remember taking the trolley everywhere. You could get from Troy to Malta, Saratoga springs, Ballston Lake, pretty much every town And Waterford had a rail yard Every town had sidings and yards Box cars were made of wood and they had stairs they would put along side to unload I really miss the simpler days

  17:40 what is that antenna for on the building on the left ? It doesn't look like VHF, nothing I have seen before. These are CSX lines. There should be satellite dishes, but I don't see any. The signals being Reading style, I don't remember that either. There was no over the air ATCS on that line 6 years ago. And as far as I know, there still is none I don't see any 220 MHz antennas either I remember when they did the track work for the trains to be able to do 100 mph between Schenectady and Rensselaer I also remember when rail cars were backed into the cold storage building. That building was a massive freezer and refrigerator. They used Ammonia in the cooling system Lots of history

  The small antenna you saw is for a VHF radio in the bungalow. This is all ex Conrail which is why they still have the signals you see. And you don’t see satellite dishes out here because all of the communication out here is fiber optic based. Down south (south of Washington) is where the satellite and cellular communication is big. But on most of these lines it’s all fiber.

  The Lake Shore is limited at 79 Mph only after Hoffmans (just a little after Schenectady going West). I don't know why is that limit in effect, since the line is (or was) Rule 261-CSS , wich is the same for Hoffmans -Rennsselaer-Ny. Maybe it's related with FRA class track. If it wasn't for that, I suppose it could do 85 ( top speed in NYC times), 90, or even more

  It's been 110 MPH for several years on this section of track. As for this particular video there happened to be a NY State Trooper at the crossing that day. He was watching for traffic violations at the crossing in connection with a rail safety campaign. He was also dubious about the train speeds and used his LIDAR to measure it. You can hear him call out "98" at 0:30. The train was accelerating through the crossing and easily hit 100 MPH.
