In part 1 of Volume 10, the date is February 18, 1985 as cameraman Walt Berko rode in the cab of a since been retired SPV 2000 from New Haven Connecticut on the route of the Northeast Corridor that was filmed way before the electrification was extended to Boston’s South Station, to Springfield Massachusetts which also serves Amtrak’s Lake Shore Limited from Boston to Chicago Via Albany & Cleveland on the Double Track Mainline which also includes commentary from the crew.
Along the way, there are meets with Metro-North Electric interurbans, some Amtrak F-40s, & a bunch of MOW equipment.
Other Locations aside from the 2 Southern New England Cities include North Haven Interlocking, Wallingford station, Meriden at the Kent crossovers, Berlin (not Germany), the state capitol of Hartford while going under the I-84 overpass twice which takes people in their autos from Old Sturbridge village in the east to the Steamtown museum in Scranton Pennsylvania in the west, not to mention passing Hybrid Yard, Windsor (home of the Connecticut Trolley Museum in the town’s east side), & Windsor Locks while rolling near the Connecticut river before crossing the state line.
Part 2 of volume 10 covers the exact same route as this program, but the motive power is from a former Santa Fe CF7.
Oh & fun fact: over a little more than 10 years after this footage was captured, Steve Neff also took a cab ride on the exact same route from New Haven to Springfield.
