Some footage I shot of some Amtrak trains in Northern California in late May. The first two shots of the video are my first ever SC-44 Charger leaders!
Aw man, those f59phi's are disappearing, wish I could buy one to put in my yard, lol, besides your video is awesome!! Hope your doing well, I tapped the bell so I know when you upload this time, ive been subbed for a while just forgot the notification bell, lol anyway hope all is good!
1:18 SP 1258 has a good view of all the action of four different Amtrak services! 2:57 that cab car has a nice horn! 4:59 that engine also has a nice K5LA! 5:59 P42 number 205 has a weird horn! It's also the first video I've seen of a P42 pulling single-level Amtrak California cars! 6:24 number 133 also has a weird-sounding horn! 8:25 the Amtrak California NPCUs have the most unsual and raest amtrak livery! I wonder why they were never painted blue and yellow? Part of me is wondering if they will bi-level cars be repainted to to match the livery of the SC44s
And CDTX cabs 8309, 8301,8304 8303,8302, 8305, 8310, 8307,8308,8311, 8313, 6961,6964 have great K5LAs Cabs 8312, and 8314 are the only 8300s that are fouled 6962, and 6965 had bell replacements. And 6963 has a fouled 1 bell hence why it sounds so high pitched but it still sounds good. The Amcal NPCUs 90215,90221,and 90218 all have great K5LAs as well.
Caltrain that operates from Gilroy to San Francisco via San Jose is starting electrification work for the 50 miles of track from Tamien to San Francisco. The trains that head to and from Gilroy will remain diesel powered for now.
It HEAVILY depends on the route. In the area where the video takes place, I believe the top speed is 90 mph. That goes for all of Amtrak's California Corridor trains. Other corridors have top speeds much higher, and others have lower ones.
@@lucky_railfans_trains_2009 9:10 if That Car Cab's Train horn sounded the same, it would've had an unrestricted horn or smth. Sounds close to an ALP-45/46.
The Amtrak at the beginning is number 2105 similar to Coaster train in San Diego 2105
Speaking of Coaster 2105 , It’s been scrapped and replaced by Coaster’s new SC44s.
Not sure if I'll ever like the looks, but great video. I do deliveries often in the Oakland are....always make time to see trains !

Man I’m REALLY gonna miss the 59s, 42s and cab cars
Uh only the 59s left
And cabcars are gonna still be there and p42s
I think they are running alongside the F59's and not replacing them
On San wakene and capital corridor trains

Awesome video!
MobileRailSpotterRxR South will raise agin
I like that K5LA

I've seen those in action and there amazing.Great video.
I see SC 44 Chargers a lot on Amtrak Cascads ;)
1:50 what horn is that?
Fouled K5LA
Brillant! A train running down city streets!Talk about an acident waiting to happen!
D. G. the trains have run down the city streets in Oakland for over 100 years!
It’s so popular that people remember to look out for trains but I see your point
Don't say that to a railfan who railfans at Jack London Square
Different than in the Midwest? Ours are double ended
Good video Spencer. I am unsure if Caltran's Chargers are in revenue service to be honest. Are they?
At this point, yes they are
4:31 at that moment he new he fu&*&&$ up
Curse word train coming up
Nice video Spencer make more train videos
TROLLEYFAN 2052 We like trains and planes. I just want him to upload more.

MrBnsftrain P42 #133 has a Hybrid K5LA
And P42 #205 has a K5L
And CDTX cabs 8309, 8301,8304 8303,8302, 8305, 8310, 8307,8308,8311, 8313, 6961,6964 have great K5LAs

The reason it’s not match was because npcu’s were made after that service and npcu’s were made about 2014-?
It's because the CDTX NPCUs are painted in a retro Caltrain Livery.
If you look at the stripe at the back of the charger, it doesn't match up with the coaches. Maybe there will be new coaches soon, unfortunately.
Is it an Siemens? And is any railroad in CA have overhead cables for electricity movinh
Caltrain that operates from Gilroy to San Francisco via San Jose is starting electrification work for the 50 miles of track from Tamien to San Francisco. The trains that head to and from Gilroy will remain diesel powered for now.
This charger looks so similar to the surflinener but it has yellow and it does not match with the cars
But it even has cal trans
2:38 has a great horn respect the Ge,s
It’s not matching with the cars, because the cars are getting replaced with Calidot cars.
P42 205’s horn sounds so creepy lol
I am going to sleep tonight and I'm not sure if I'm going to wake up alive? 6:00
Also I publish videos of trains on my channel, but in Italy
4:56 Sounds exactly like my HO Scale CDTX 2008.
Nice Video
dont forget the f59phi
I Like The K5LA Horn P42DC 133 Leading Coast Starlight Train #14 At Oakland Jack London Square At 6:42
What's camera you do?
Canon XF400
LIKE THEIR GOING HAVE A TRAIN DEDICATED TO A TRANSIT COMPANY
What is the max speed of the amtrak
It HEAVILY depends on the route. In the area where the video takes place, I believe the top speed is 90 mph. That goes for all of Amtrak's California Corridor trains. Other corridors have top speeds much higher, and others have lower ones.
Thank you
Russell Streak Amtrak operating speed is at 79 mph. It used to be 83 mph 3 years ago and policy has changed and dropped down to 79.
8:14 Why Does That Horn Sound Like That?
The NCPU’s typically are a bit wheezy
@@GamingRailfanner If The NJ Transit Train Horns Sound a bit wheezy, Then It Will Sound Like How They Sounded Like In Winter
The only NJT unit that sounds like that is like am unrestricted horn or smth.
Sounds close to an ALP-45/46.
@@lucky_railfans_trains_2009 9:10 if That Car Cab's Train horn sounded the same, it would've had an unrestricted horn or smth.
Sounds close to an ALP-45/46.
Orange marks on the ground at 2:30, somebody got hit.
What is the first train in the vid called?
Capitol Corridor.(Amtrak)
6:53 THE HECK? WHAT CITY IS THAT?
Oakland, CA
Jack london square to be exact
Thats really big noisy tram in the city..how they can sleep during night time
First of all this is a train not a tram and barely any people live there. Jack London is mostly an industrial district with shops
@@United1158 i know its train..it just weird running thru city parallel with city road like a normal tram
this is pretty short
2:53 you see a train
8 seconds later
It passed you
SC-44 Talgo SC-44 SURFLINER SC-44 AMTRAK CALIFORNIA
The Surfliner and NorCal ones are SC44-DMs due to that thing on top of their backs.
A
Are these replacing the F59's or running alongside the F59's
Nolan The dab king slowly replacing them but they are running alongside the F59PHI’s until then
Bens cal trans sc44 loco and f59phi loco and npcu and coaches and cab car

Ugly Siemens Charger locomotive, something wrong with the front-end...way too European for my taste!
Don’t say that I think they look really good.
