Passenger Trains > Acela Express zoom pan through Bristol at 1/15thDate: 03/13/25 14:29 Acela Express zoom pan through Bristol at 1/15th Author: Mgoldman AMTK No. 2019 leads an Acela Express westbound through Bristol, PA back on January 5th, 2025.
Captured in a "zoom pan" at 1/15th, hand held. The Delaware River Turnpike Bridge serves as back drop behind the signal bridge. The engineer recognized himself in the shot and I was happy to offer him a high resolution shot : ) I assume that's a signal bridge though no signals remain. There is a functioning signal bridge just ahead, past the station. /Mitch ![]() Date: 03/13/25 16:11 Re: Acela Express zoom pan through Bristol at 1/15th Author: cr2581 Set 8 ..... 2019 lead ...... 2014 trail

MAYBE this month a couple of the new sets go into service and you will have even longer trains to photograph.
And more capacity for passengers!! Date: 03/13/25 18:57 Re: Acela Express zoom pan through Bristol at 1/15th Author: Mgoldman cutboy1958 Wrote:

Thanks - and, maybe! cr2581 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Set 8 ..... 2019 lead ...... 2014 trail Appreciate the rear unit number - was expecting your update! As Timz's as well - interesting details, and a surprising number of signal bridges in that area. Was it one being replaced with another, or just some being removed, I wonder. /Mitch Date: 03/13/25 20:47 Re: Acela Express zoom pan through Bristol at 1/15th Author: oyw Extremely talented work!
