Review of Amtraks Broadway Limited Cab Ride Philadelphia to New York City DVD

 5 of 5 (4)
A "Head End" ride on an Amtrak AEM-7 electric engine over the former P.R.R. main line from 30th. Street Station, Philadelphia to Penn Station, New York City at speeds of over 100 M.P.H. You will see many Amtrak, Conrail, SEPTA, and New Jersey Transit trains, stations, signal towers, pass over the Delaware, Raritan, Passaic, and Hackensack River Bridges, and view the New York City skyline before entering the Hudson River tunnels into Penn Station. Narration referring to speed, signal indication, track designation, stations, cities, and towers, as well as radio transmissions of trains, tower operators, and train dispatchers highlight the entire trip. 90 Minutes - Color - Sound

TVD NOTE: There is a misprint on the actual disc inside the case. The disc is printed with "Harrisburg to Philadelphia". The contents on the disc are in fact from Philadelphia to New York City.
