      Nope, I know when to stand at the end of platforms.

      The only thing that would make this picture better, and more profitable, would be if the northeast corridor was broken off from the rest of the service and those rails were replaced with highways.

      You forgot to add that the highway would be run by a private corporation.

      nice 20 degree angle shot @ the last minute. what train was you waiting on, & what station is this?

      Thanks velocity, it is the Forest Hills commuter rail station, Amtrak doesn't stop. So the Acela's blast through quite fast.

      The last episode of Extreme Trains spotlighted these trainsets. Check it out on the History Channel when it is aired again.
