When I was a kid, Frankford Junction was where I took many trains to 30th st. My Mother would take my sister and I to Atlantic City on the old PRSL.

When your train was leaving 30th st., you could see traffic on the Schuylkill. There was a bldg. between the tracks and the highway that housed the mechanics that serviced auto and trucks that belonged to the Pennsy. The Cadillac Limos were kept there too. One of which my Father drove.

Love seeing that speed on the Corridor. Finally got a chance to take Acela 2107 from Philadelphia 30th Street Station down to Washington DC Union Station to visit my s/o and I'm always amazed and overjoyed at just how fast our trains can get on that stretch. Really pretty route too!

Nice! I took Regional 141 a couple months ago- nice to see someone else taking it just months later. 👌

The Amtrak facility just north of Wilmington is the old Pennsylvania RR Wilmington Electric car shop. It’s where the Pennsylvania serviced the GG1’s and the E44’s. The Bear Delaware shop is off of a non electrified spur farther south.

Where AMTK 86 whizzed by may have been where this train crossed from DE into MD. As for landmarks nearby, Otts Chapel Road (passed under at 59:35) is definitely in DE, and Iron Hill Road (passed under at 59:58 a few secs after 86 went by) is definitely in MD. Thank Google Maps. If you were sitting on the other side of this train, per Google Sat, the state line (the n/s portion of the M-D Line) may have been easier to spot.

They have the names of individuals and towns that they are located near. Some are also named after companies that were there or near there.
