All the action at Harrison, NJ between 3:10pm and 7:30pm. 102 trains! The only one I missed was Keystone 650, but that equipment returns as 651. You'll see every other train on the schedule with these exceptions:

--Amtrak 94, running 2 hours 40 minutes late
--Amtrak 137, running 1 hour 50 minutes late
--Amtrak 55, running 1 hour 5 minutes late
--NJT 3272 and 3279, both running late due to a disabled train (3265) on the Coast Line

Amtrak trains 174, 176, 2165, 42, 2167, and 2169 were all operating 10 or more minutes late (174 was over 2 hours late), and NJT 3873 and 3270 were each about 15 minutes late.

Overlay info: consists that appear more than once in the video are noted with (2x) (3x) etc. Departure times are from the April 23, 2023 NJ Transit employee timetable (typically one minute later than the public timetables), and departure stations are the first revenue stops for each train. Trains running express between Newark/EWR and outlying points, in either direction, are noted (i.e. "exp. Metropark").

    No one mentioned that the locomotive at 54:45 was painted and detailed to look like the old Pennsylvania RR GG1s.

    Even though it’s not an American priority, you really need to appreciate the anount of passenger rail service there is on the Northeast Corridor. I also appreciate the amount of work that went into this video. Kudos!

    That's the cool thing about the multilevels: You're on three levels of train.
  • @RailBet
    Not going to lie it kind looks like the year 2001 a little bit since Arrows III, Comets, and original Acela train are still in service but along with more modern equipment

  • @trainboy7
    Even though these trains aren’t as fast as anything European related, They at least get the job done.

    I have an idea. Let's make a railroad that is loudest possible, clunky, and more loud. Oh, wait a sec, someone already did that.
