Used to hang under that bridge when it was a wood and tar-covered relic; nearly twenty years ago !!! Ah, I can still smell the grease on hot summers afternoon, taking refuge under Union Ave, waiting for the next train....or the Amtrack police!!! Oh the memmories!! Thanks DC3rrm!!!

Thank you for this site. I was stationed in Aberdeen, MD in 1967. It was so fun to hop a train to get to New York City, Baltimore or DC. That was then. Now I live in Iowa. Here's hoping that we'll get rail transportation improvements soon!. Thank you, again!

This is one of my all-time favorite KZitem videos. It makes me want to hop the Lake Shore Ltd and travel up and down the East Corridor in the really fast trains. The song by the Quad City DJ's is a perfect match for the video. GREAT VIDEO. Miss the one - Short Ride to Beantown. It was also excellent

The Narragansett Brewery! Boy are we talking "old school." When I first hired on the railroad they were still getting serviced by Conrail. A few months later it was all gone. Now there isn't even a trace of the brewery or the railroad that served it!

It's not high speed but'd it be nice to capture the new switching manuevers at New Rochelle, NY since the trackwork was re-done at the fork where the former New Haven RR goes toward Grand Central Station and the Amtraks head towards Penn Station.

beautiful trains with a very good pendulation system!! However, European high Speed is much more developed (France, Spain, Germany...). in the USA, due to the long distances, planes are the main means of transport and trains are better used in medium distances as it happens within European countries.

You are ignoring a few points - High speed rail is government funded all over the world. This is the only country that expects rail service to be private enterprise. And don't even start about the other transportation entities being self sufficient - until shipping companies build their own ports, airlines their own airports and car and truck companies their own roads, bridges, et al. Most if not all transportation has government underpinning.

Well I've been riding the Metra my whole life, but I've never been on one of the electric lines but I know that the electric lines aren't high speed, but its not the Metra I'm talking about, just Amtrak. Because lets face it some people just can't stand flying, not me personally but if your afraid flying you shouldn't have sit on a long boring slow train ride or an unbearable three day car ride.
