AMTRA
amtrak-thanksgiving-sunday-2017-martin
Montage of the trains passing the Martin Airport MARC station from about 2:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. Unlike last year I ran into a couple of other local railfans so this year's videos are a bit more crowded XD
Like last year I went with my GoPro body mount in order to also be able to take still photos. Unlike Halethorpe, which now sees a crowd of Railfans on Thanksgiving Sunday, I found myself alone at Martin Airport.
Seen here are...
Northbound Amtrak Acela Express #2254 with power cars #2004 and #2018
Southbound Amtrak Train #91, The Silver Starve, with ACS-86 #630
Northbound Amtrak Regional Train 96 with ACS-86 #610.

LINCO
lincoln-corridor-trra-wr-tower
The TRRA controlled WR interlocking in Granite City, IL used to be controlled by a manned interlocking tower up through the 1990's with an absolutely ancient US&S EP machine. Today the interlocking remoted, however it still features the parallel main lines of UP (Alton), KCS and NS being crossed at grade by a diagonal TRRA industrial track. This also marks the northern extent of TRRA main line trackage.
Video was taken from the rear of Amtrak Train 21, the Texas Eagle, as I made use of the last rays of twilight. WR interlocking begins at 0:44

WMATA
wmata-potomac-yard-crossover-arcing
The new DC Metro Potomac Yard infill station also came with an infill scissors crossover type interlocking. This creates a gap in the third rail just where northbound trains are under heavy acceleration and not surprisingly this creates impressive arcs that are plainly visible from the overhead mezzanine.

In Part 3 we proceed from VALLEY interlocking at the Cynwyd/Main Line Junction, out to Wayne Jct, then up to Chestnut Hill East before transfering to Chestnut Hill West and finally North Philadelphia.

NYC S
nyc-subway-holiday-nostalgia-train-59th
GoPro video from the front of the northbound 2018 NYC Subway Holiday Nostalgia Train running from 2nd Ave to Rockefeller Center, but due to a variety of reasons, the routing was changed to the 8th Avenue Subway on an express D routing from 125th St south. The car was R1 #381. Unfortunately, due to a small component oversight, I was unable to use my GoPro mount and I had to and make do with a Selfie Stick, with marginal results :-(
The Nostalgia Train is run with R1/9 equipment that date from the 1930's. The growling sound is from straight cut gears. The screaming and tomfoolery is from a group of children placed in front of the Railfan Window :-0
