San Diego Coaster Trains

This video featuring shots of San Diego's Coaster Commuter train from early on in my HD Video days from late 2009 through mid 2011.
You will see Coaster trains on various parts of the 41 mile line between Oceanside and San Diego at just about all times of day.
Thanks for watching!
Be sure to look for Steam Trains Galore 2, coming next Friday!

9:40, This is The Same Sound that I heard on Coaster: San Diego To Oceanside when The Coaster 655 heading to Its Last Stop in Oceanside with 3002 leading.

Coincidentally, I was thinking about the NCTD Coaster, then this video just spontaneously showed up!

[@amtrakandcsxrailfanning351]

great awesome catches and video of these coasters with some good horn action

[@ethanmitchell6687]

8:33 and the last one was my favorite catches

[@rioshome4503]

I saw coaster train 2105 at San Diego when we where driving.

[@mobzollerthememeguy6765]

Even though I’m from St. Louis Missouri where there is too much BNSF, it’s good to see how San Diego is doing

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

2105 has the most powerful sounding K5LA of the west. @ 9:40

Great catches.

[@nicolasgoldring7128]

4:14: I don't know why, but this one's my most favorite. The terrifingly beautiful and musical sound of that horn, the sun setting, and the Pacific Ocean just a few meters away to the West is a great combination.

[@kaisanhoque6976]

The coaster and the steam train is the best meet between modern and past

[@josephsapien4021]

I really do think that it's amazing that the brealent minds that could come up with the railroad and all the hard work that the men and women out into this investment is really outstanding. Today I must say that I had the chance to take the coaster and over see the coast line, very amazing. I will give an update

Steam Workz this is an old comment. Idk what I was talking about. 2101 is just fine lol

[@AmtrakCal462]

Man o man I miss the Coaster... I don't even film them anymore. 2303 is the biggest let down, everything about that horn rocked! Nice video! That last shot of 2105 was pretty baller too!!! Engineer too obviously ;-)

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

U should still Railfan coaster even tho the horns are restricted

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

2304 2302 2309 2301 are the last of the good horns... 2105 2101 2104 as well

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

I miss when 2310, 2309,2308 acually sounded good choked. I miss when they all sounded good choked. 2302, 2301, and 2305 are the only ones they really sound good anymore and 2306 has a hybrid K5LA.

And Also at 14:13, That Engineer on That Coaster gave you a Friendly Toot.

[@jacksonskyline]

TommyPickles Fan1992 Friendly implying, “Hey! I see you! Ill honk the train horn” or friendly implying, the horn sounded nice. Because that horn was Long, Long, Short, Long, and that is for grade-crossings.

[@bdwtrains]

You're not wrong that was a good one

[@TommyPicklesFan]

At 8:33, That Engineer gave you 3 Horn Blasts when It Crossing The Del Mar Bridge.

Oh yeah blow those horns blow em. Hey Mike think that K5LA was half full blast half fouled from the cabcar but at least the bell is ringing perfectly

[@Tegridyvs]

I noticed some trains have 6 cars and most have 5 is this cause there are more passengers at a specific time or they just have extra cars?

[@CoasterFan2105]

It is standard for the trains to run with 5 cars. Following the recession, in 2009 and into 2010, many coaster trains ran with 4 cars to save fuel, as there was a slight decrease in ridership. Since then, the norm has gone back to 5 cars with 2 sets occasionally running with a 6th car to accomodate higher ridership, particularly in the summer.

[@Tegridyvs]

oh alright I see

[@RedBeardedLife]

I heard the route between San Deigo and Northside is very scenic...Is that true? I'm flying to SD next month for a few days just brewery hopping around the area (I know....I'm one of those geeks who's willing to fly across the country from NC just to drink beer.....But I have a $300 Southwest voucher I needed to use by April, so why not?) and planning to take the Coaster up to check out some of the North County breweries on the Sprinter line

[@CoasterFan2105]

***** Yes, the line between Oceanside and San Diego is very scenic with a number of good views of the ocean. You should have a good trip.

[@r_74gjd]

no

[@Darky3334]

someone tell me why the San Diego double decker is smaller then the NJ transit double decker.
we have about 9 carts
San Diego haves 4 why?

[@lizzsszzy7800]

Less people ride the Coaster here.

[@mohdbukharimohdamin4494]

CodyORB that not true coaster use 4 cab because they are save the fuel

[@coolleo149]

I mean I think the horn is fouled and not fully blown with air

[@James_lirr-ict_catches]

They have a k5la

[@darkmarcell]

We do not ride in the coaster yet

[@lailasalas]

Nice collection. I understand trains can not blow their horns while running inside SAN DIEGO downtown area. Is not it? Maybe to avoid disturbing people working in the offices and residents in the area. I suppose people is seriously responsible to avoid accidients in rail crossings

[@CoasterFan2105]

Hi, yes that is correct. As of December 2012, trains no longer blow their horns in Downtown San Diego as part of a multi-million dollar "Quiet Zone" project. I plan on doing a video at some point in the future on the quiet zone with more detailed information.

I will see Amtrak California

[@SouthCalifas619]

What happened to coaster cab car k5las sound like a dying goose now days. When will they fix the horns?

[@CoasterFan2105]

In 2010, restrictors were put in all the horns. Sadly, they will not sound as good as they used to for the foreseeable future.

[@SouthCalifas619]

CoasterFan2105
Restrictions as to how much psi is used on the horns? or how many trumpets will be sounded? and does this have anything to do with people complaining?

[@nessrinekabbani7027]

SouthCalifas619

[@CoasterFan2105]

Sorry, guess I missed your second comment! Restrictors that restrict the air flow. So, a lesser volume of air.
