Morning Rush On The Northeast Corridor [IgJOjfPaSRM]

Another summer vacation, another morning rush from the parking garage at Harrison, NJ, this time on Thursday, June 11, 2026. 97 trains shown between 6:15am and 10:40am, which is everything on the timetable except: I missed Amtrak 89 at 6:20 am (phone was on photo instead of video, sean gathright d'oh), Amtrak 51 was cancelled, Amtrak 98 was an hour late, and NJ Transit 3932 was cancelled. There were also three Raritan Valley turns that are presumed to have taken place in Newark Penn rather than running through to Hudson Yard: 5408/5711, 5710/X511, and 5900/5415. Stick through to the end for a little Hoboken Terminal bonus action, bringing the total train count to an even 100.

Some of the clips have noticeably poorer video quality; it appears as though my iPhone used the ultra wide camera lens despite being set to 2x zoom in these cases. It was a pretty hot day in the sun and the phone was overheating at times.

Other notes:

--Amtrak 181, 110, and 172 were all roughly 15-20 minutes late

--Heritage/special interest units: 4636 (Pennsylvania) on 3815/3934; NextGen Trainset 26 (Freedom250) on 2103; 4540 (40th Anniversary) on 5406/X591; 4511 (Coast Guard) on 5416; 607 and 657 (250th) on 110/185; 618 (250th) on 170; 4533 (First Responders) on 3224; 4500 (Space Force) on 5422; 4523 (Air Force) on 5126
