Tat's neat!!! The information is good too. You never think of the technology that goes into these engines..
And they "skipped" over the Southern PA section
I was looking for the crossongs near me and they skipped them over
Oh well.....

They may have missed the southern PA part,, but i got to see the bridge over the Newark Bay where I used to do a lot of rail fanning. They did miss label one part. When you cross that bridge going east you are actually in Bayonne , Not Jersey city. You have to cross the eastern approach and first mile of track before you enter Jersey city, that's where the plant is. I know I'm being picky, but it's my old home town.

I'm betting even time elapsed, that there would be to much video to do the whole thing.
What I would have liked to seen was how the orange juice train used to run. At one point, the diesels were interchanged with electrics at potomac yard and travelled up the Northeast corridor via electric locomotive.

Cool video, but....
I realized that the engineer is at the mercy of a pretty complex routing system, and the decisions made by someone who had a fight with the wife before he went to work....
So, as you're comin' round the mountain...Guess what's barreling down the track at you....?? And you've got no control over the situation.....
