Hi everyone! Something I've been conscious of has been a prevalence of frame drops in my videos - for a while I thought it was something I could ignore, but I think it's been messing with the enjoyability of the content. Well, after tinkering around in my editor, I think I've found that it had to do with the frame rate of the project, and changing that seems to have fixed the problem. So, with any luck, this will be the last video that has these frame drop issues! Thanks everyone for watching, hopefully it hasn't been too frustrating.

Jeremy's enthusiasm is infectious. I mean, how can you NOT wanna take a train journey with him?

Port Jervis having an NYC subway map at the station is absolutely hilarious

[andrewruger]

I don't think I've ever seen such a strong reaction to anything as your reaction to having to take the River Line

NJ Transit really needs to extend the North Jersey Coast Line all the way to Atlantic City and down to Cape May.

I can't believe there's a Port Jervis trip that makes all stops to Secaucus - that's brutal!

New Jersey is a lot like Belgium but in America. Centrally located, with similar terrain and climate, both densely populated and very suburban, they're the but of jokes for neighbors but oh so interesting and steeped in history.
I started thinking about it since a similar trip here would be around the same distance and a single fare would cost about $30 as well. 😅

I actually rather like the River Line. A few years back I went from NYC to Philadelphia via NJ Transit, the River Line, and PATCO. It was easily the cheapest way between the cities, and it was also a pleasant and scenic ride.

I will beat up any of the New Jersey haters. Also great trip haha

Secaucus Junction is the Mecca of Solari boards, love how the lines have their own color-coded dedicated boards instead of the typical black one. The indoor ski slope at the American Dream mall sounds dumb at first, but when you realize it's targeted towards NYC people who want to ski but can't or don't want to go too far, then it makes sense. Also, I definitely count River LINE as commuter rail. It was the first hybrid rail system to open in the US back in 2004. Hybrid rail meaning a light rail with commuter elements. Other examples of hybrid rail systems are San Diego's Sprinter and Fort Worth's TEXRail

You guys excitement is the cutest thing ever, just a pure appreciation for trains and stuff

[lifeskater]

That was my daily commute, from Jervis-Hoboken, then PATH to the WTC. Crossing the Moodna viaduct (between Salisbury Mills-Cornwall and Harriman, going East, was always awesome for taking pictures. Took naps never fearing I'd miss my stop, lol. Thanks for the memories, and posting. Safe travels!

I don’t know why YouTube decided to show me this video, but I really enjoyed it. Subscribed!!

[Turbobuttes]

Oh my God, the shot with Jeremy introducing his favorite place on Earth, and then his face literally lights up, that is a GOLDEN shot right there.

[ocmdog]

I love your travels with Jeremy. Such good chemistry and pairing. Can't wait for your next joint adventure.

[overly]

I REALLY enjoyed this video! watched it from start to finish without skipping, you two are really captivating to watch and i'd love to see more adventures like this on your channel!

A fun feature of the Princeton Junction stop is that there's a tiny little train (called the Dinky) that goes from the Junction right to Princeton's campus/the town. The Dinky was down for a good year while I was at school there and it was a nightmare. I grew up in NY, went to school in Jersey, and love the weird little intricacies of the rail transit around there. Loving your videos!

The pagoda in the middle of the woods is where the Falun Gong headquarters is.

theres something hilariousness about wating 30 - 50 minutes for a train, you finally start seeing the light's approach, you get hyped because you're finally leaving that horrible purgatory, you get up from your body heat warmed throne, the train approaches, and it's a freight train going 5 mph, and too add salt to the wound, you get a notification that your train's delayed for another hour

Fun fact about the Ramsey Rt 17 station: the parking garage is so underused that (I believe) they've begun leasing out spaces for people to store old cars there. I went up there one night to get some pictures of the moon and was shocked to see a clean AMC Gremlin... and then a mid-70s Lincoln Continental... and then a Honda Beat... and before I knew it it was like I'd stepped into some weird time warped parking garage. Surreal, but also kinda cool. But yea, bottom line that parking garage is VERY underused.
