At Philadelphia's Penn Coach Yard What kind of Amtrak Diesels can I find there and What kind Passager Cars can I find there in Philadelphia PA?
Planning on taking a trip there, if so when, what train(s) are you using?Amtrak Railfan said:Can I see E60s at the yard?
Ok, how would you go, on the Acela Express, Metroliner, Regional, a Clocker, or NJT and Septa?Amtrak Railfan said:Maybe I will go next year.

Well to quote a very famous person, "All good things come to those who wait".P40Power said:Well Alan, I gotta get onto the Corridor someday, I dont care if its just a Regional Coach Class trip, I just wanna experience the fast running, fastest Ive been on a train is just the lame old 79MPH (Thats booking at a good clip, I dont care what anybody says, that isnt slow!)
Well 65 is the max speed limit here in NY and as far as I know it's also the max in Mass.gswager said:65 mph on interstate in your homestate? It's too slow! Here in NM, it's 75 mph in open country! Fortunately, the SW Chief is faster than cars- 90 mph!
Well at the moment I don't have any trips planned to Philly. However when I do go there, I'm generally on either an Acela Express or a Metroliner.Amtrak Railfan said:Hello there AlanB when are you going to Philadelphia PA on the Acela Express or Metroliner or on a other Amtrak Trains?
