The same guy posted a video of DTG's crew recording sounds from P32-8WH 512 for sounds. I feel like Amtrak will soon be coming to Sand Patch. (Amtrak does have stops along the route)

Yes, but with Cumberland being the only stop there's not much DTG can do with Amtrak over Sandpatch.

Yes, it would be a very quick and boring run for sure.

exactly, not to say that maybe there wouldn't be something someday, they are clearly checking things out in electrified territory... So maybe a part of the NEC will get done.

That, for sure, I'm hoping. If they must do a portion of it, I would hope they'll do a better job with NY-PHI section, especially. Although, I would totally welcome an untouched section of it as well. Really would love to see the corridor in its entirety at some point in the future.

I'm hoping to see D.C. to Philly myself!

Well with the pictures being in electrified territory, I'd be willing to bet a paycheck they will bring a part of the NEC to TSW.
