Greetings Everyone!!
May not be much of a big deal to most of you. But after years of hearing and seeing videos of the NEC, I was finally able to get to New York during holidays. I must say, I was overwhelmed. The first train that I saw at Trenton Station was an Acela headed west ( south ) for Washington. I had my digital cam with me but was too excited to even take the pictures. She must have been going atleast 75 to 90 mph. A beautiful site indeed. Next up was the Silver Star ( from Miami I believe ) stopping to drop off a few people on her way to NY. SHe was headed by a HHP. Then watched a few regular NEC expresses pass as well as NJ Transit trains. I also got a few good views from the highway headed into the city.
One question, the videos I do have are from a few years back ( maybe 10 ..LOL). There is a new transit station just after the NEC emerges from the tunnel from under the Hudson headed west. Does anyone know the name of that station??
IGO
