That was a first for me, seeing 2 trains on adjacent parallel tracks, both going the same direction, probably pretty close to track speed. Very good!

Ok SP2778, You hooked me on this one! Because This is the place (Center St. Xing) we had to stop and wait for trains, to and from elementary school, got my first railroad "bug" here, especially noticed those big Centennial Diesels going by, back then, (in the 1970's.) At this location.

BTW That's a great/dramatic scene of Amtrak heading same direction as the freight on adjacent track! (Called a Running pass?). Kind of rare to catch one of those on video!....Wouldn't hurt to mention that in your thread title maybe? Just a suggestion :)
