    I really like Caltrain horns. They're very interesting and different compared to a lot of other horns on trains that I've heard

    Man. The east coast has ( used to have ) the F40 “screamers”, and y’all have the “growler”!

      I've only heard "growler" semi-officially around here, but I'm sure somebody says screamer too.

      Ya you can say they growl but honestly I think the freight trains growl

    Great video! Really hope they don’t switch to the electronic horn, it… sucks.

    I have a feeling the EMU horns are going to get a lot of complaints.

      I can see the peninsula corridor eventually becoming a quiet zone. I hope it does not though.

      Frr like it’s better if Caltrain cancels the whole electrification and the CHSR can build its own tracks

      @@sixfifty_sebb No, what would be better is if Caltrain refurbishes the gallery cars and replaces the F40s with Siemens locomotives (ACS-64 for SF-Tamien, SC-44 Charger for SF-Gilroy/Salinas), while installing new K5LAs on the MP36s and cab cars Sure, they would probably be those crappy Raised Letter horns, but they'd be better than nothing.
      And why listen to sound complaints? What are those sovereign asshats in Atherton gonna do, start illegally ripping up rails?

    What exactly 119 and 120's horns are is a pretty controversial subject. Some people claim they're K2s, but other people believe them to be some kind of strange form of Leslie 2-Chime.

      If you really wanna know what a K2 on a BBL Cab sounds like, listen to Metrolink 632 through 637.

    Do you think on the older caltrain fleet, they could replace all the horns with the same ones used on the new Stadler EMUs?

    • @ATPTransit
      @ATPTransit  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's very unlikely. Only a couple rebuilt F40 stretches have it from the sound of it. The rebuilt 927 has a P2

    They definitely beat Bart Horns. I don't even think they use K5LA's but there's Subway systems, not train systems
