Had to be alert. Trains rush up on you like silent killers. Can’t turn your back for 30 seconds.

Great video, brings back memories. I used to railfan Rahway in 1967-1969.

Just stumbled across this. Best railfanning video I’ve seen. Amazing commentary and shots!

Growing up in northern New Jersey (Bloomfield and Lyndhurst) in the 60's my Dad would often take us to busy and/or exotic railfanning locations. I remember the occasional visit to Aunt Annie's house in Rahway was ALWAYS accompanied by a several-hour railfan session at this very same station. Thanks for the memories . . .

What a great way to illustrate the density and value of the NEC!

In 2019, as part of its 40th anniversary New Jersey Transit wrapped ALP-45DP 4519 and a Bombardier MultiLevel Coach into Erie Lackawanna colors

Your videos are all informative. They’re also a tonic for those of us itching to ride again. I enjoy your work.

I wonder if they'll ever reactivate that line that used to go from Matawan, NJ to Freehold? It's a bike trail now. Don't count on it! LOL!

You mentioned the iconic Pennsy GG1. I am old enough to remember riding a Tuscan red GG1 from Akron Ohio to New York City in 1963 when I was 10 years old. To this day it ranks as my favorite locomotive. I believe that is when the railfan seed was planted in me.

You would have had a diesel and you likely rode out of Canton and the GG1 would have been put on in Harrisburg Pa.

The 45s are the best, especially with their propulsion systems.

I love the ALP-45s much more than the 46s

This is one busy set of tracks!

Your encyclopedic knowledge and total recall is truly quite remarkable. I just retired in January at the ripe age of 68 and hope to launch my own railfan channel. There is much to be learned from the quality of your videos.
