POV Cab Ride | SEPTA Regional Rail | Philadelphia to Delaware | Wilmington-Newark Line Train 5217

This video, recorded in the passenger cab on the front end of a Hyundai Rotem Silverliner V EMU, shows the southbound trip of SEPTA Regional Rail's train 5217 on the Wilmington-Newark Line from Penn Medicine Station in Philadelphia, PA, to Claymont Station in Claymont, DE in real time.

The majority of this train ride took place along the Northeast Corridor south of Philadelphia.

I did initially board the train at Philadelphia's William H. Gray III 30th street station. But I had struggled to properly mount my camera on board the train. By the time my camera was good to go, the train had already arrived at Penn Medicine Station. Thus this POV video starts with the train at that station.

Please excuse the fact that due to camera mount not being compatible with any surfaces or positions within the train car, I had to put the camera on a monopod and hold it by hand. This setup essentially completely eliminated unwanted front and back and up and down motions of my camera. Unfortunately I had trouble controlling the excessive left to right yaw motion of my camera while the train was in motion. This made the quality of this video less than ideal. I apologize in advance. :(

Circa March 2022. This video was recorded in full HD and at 60FPS.
