This gave me chills. Trains are exciting, but there's a rare occasion I get chills when trackside. This is equivalent to some of my all time favorite Acela hornshows.
What an awesome horn show! Thanks for sharing! It must have been awesome to be able to experience it. It seems today you hear about so much animosity between railfans and crews this is very pleasant.
*Csx owns few of these F40phs today for their OCS train exeption of 9999 its in YN3B as for the other units they have been repainted into B&O paint scheme and remember to CSX 1 2 and 3 CSX 9999 is in YN3B as of now eventually it will be renumbered into CSX 4*
What year did amtrak retire all of the f40ph's... Bc here in Canada VIA Rail runs 53 of them on there fleet along with 21 P42DC's and back in 2007 the goverment funded via to rebuild all of our F40PH's all tho the prototype (Via # 6400) back in 2010 it was involved in a huge accedent and was retierd and scraped in 2012... but now all 53 of our F40PH's run our blue and grey theme instead of the grey and yellow colour... they look nice with our BUDD coaches and the P42DC's look good with our LRC coaches.
GamersGoneCRAZY 2001, except the exhibit train has Amtrak 406 (F40PH, Phase III) and their Cabbage cars exist (F40s without an engine(needs a P42 for help) and holds baggage.)
GamersGoneCRAZY Actually 406 is an F40, but it's a Non-Powered Control Unit (NPCU) and works like a cabbage car, but it doesn't have the baggage door and doesn't hold baggage. I think some units in the 200 series are F40s.
Union Pacific 2010 Fan it's really to bad if you ask me. the fact that they only have 1 (that still has the phase III scheme) f40ph... I personally think that company's (Like Amtrak and VIA) should egnolage old engines and restore some of them for some kind of heritage runs... The only difference between Amtrak and VIA is they don't have a running "heritage unit" it's only on display and repainted with the Maple leaf on the front... but VIA has dissownd there f units and it's upsetting
Amtrak Engineers: "You railfans want a show? I'll give you a show!".
The engineers must be railfans as well, cause they gave some classic footage..
They real G’s for that.
The K5LA is music to my ears!
I agree
Its the same
Same
You are exactly right
Fixed Approach mine to!
0:50 honestly one of the best Shave And A Haircuts Out there!
yes, best one Ive heard ngl
Best one I heard was a cal train one!
YES!
It is my personal favorite(besides the one I got to record!)
*I'm assuming this was around Christmas time because they were doing Jingle Bells on the P5 horn*
Nice horns playing Jingle Bells! :)
Alex Paumen Yeah I agree!
Would you really wanna hear Jingle Bells get honked on a badly-tuned P2?
BNSF1995 I can do that for you 😂😂😂
BNSF1995 😂
Dang! Wish I could get horn shows like that.
Metra MP36 407 and at a decent pace
Same
I guess I can say i almost got one like that
Oh I get a lotta horn shows from trains
The second Shave and haircut was the best thing ever!
IKR
Exactly!
ShortzYT Transit & Gaming so true.
best one ive ever heard
This gave me chills. Trains are exciting, but there's a rare occasion I get chills when trackside. This is equivalent to some of my all time favorite Acela hornshows.
0:41. The best thing I have ever heard in my career of being a Railfan
0:49-0:51 made Me Laugh So Hard LoL!!! I love this Video nice Catch!!!
UmbreonErick why
UmbreonErick why
It’s A Reference To Dumbo When Casey Jr Says “All Aboard, Lets Go.” With His Whistle
JackElite “Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits”
JackElite, Nope. That’s An Shave And A Haircut 2 Bits.
0:41 music to my ears
This is some great footage!! One of the friendliest engineers ever on Amtrak.
One of the best K5la horn shows I ever heard.
0:50 best S&HC Ive ever heard
I can listen to this over and over again. F40PHs have the best horns ever.
Never thought about other tunes that engineers played on these horns. Mighty Quinn is genius.
The k5s will always be legendary
I can imagine it on a GEVO
Way better than the so called “K5CA-LS” which are nowhere near as good as the original K5LAs.
Amazing! In the beginning it was awesome how the engineer played jingle bells on the K5LA
RIP Pete, one of the greatest engineers to ride the rails!
AWSOME, that is one of the best crew and horn shows I've ever seen!!
I am an Amtrak eninger I still don't know why we love are horns so much
Whoo! That's so awesome. Too bad I didn't exist at that time and too bad I wasn't there either. Love that F40PH and love that K5LA horn.
Best horn ever on the 2nd clip! Just awesome dude!
Now that's A Horn show!!
Ameridas 45 it sure is
at 0:09 that horn show is called "Jingle Bells"
Septa Railfan 1000 a
I can tell
No shit
No duh
No shit
wow what friendly engineers
Most engineers aren't friendly anymore.
THEN CHECK OUT 822 HEARTLAND FLYER ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
@@homer4635 wrong. Most of the time I railfan, the engineers usually honk at me
@@ROTE damn. Where do you go?
GEEEEEZ amazing hornshows guys!! multiple jingle bells and SAAHC crazy!
yoo how cool . the K5LA horns are like songs!
I just love Amtrak crews! Great video!
THAT WAS AMAZING. IT WAS TRULY FUN TO WATCH AND HEAR BOTH.THANKS !!!!!
i love those kind of drivers
I wish there were more
I showed this video to my Godson He LOVED IT and i love it as well. Also the Driver in the Pick up truck is like What the???
BEST F40PH VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an awesome horn show! Thanks for sharing! It must have been awesome to be able to experience it. It seems today you hear about so much animosity between railfans and crews this is very pleasant.
That's what I call an amazing horn show! 💯
1:09 Now I know where that horn sound came from xD
Where?
@Hunter Bachuss it’s from Trainz: A New Era (or T:ANE for short)
Man! If I were an engineer, I would do that to every single rail fan I see! Lol!
Same
You would be the happiest train engineer ever
i like the second one with the shave and a hear cut
Are you for real?? This is AWESOME!!!
What a legend, need more drivers like that.
That is amazing Engineers we’re probably like these rail fans will never forget this
0:41 That’s a good one!
The Vehicle at 1:27 would be a 92-96 Ford F150.
93
Niceee
Now tell me someone who asked
@@Henriqueleal0609 bro chill he was just sharing aight, calm down....
Hur dur (EX-Texan speaking)
Wow! That was crazy horn action there!
AMAZING HORN SHOWS!!
Salute to the F40s, we miss you
At least Metra is still running them on all their non-electrified lines.
I just love Amtrak
Awesome catches & Great horn shows!

I
The horns on the F40PHs sound fantastic.
K5LA horns are music to my ears

Too bad we don’t have nice engineers like that anymore.
All the k5las
Nice Doppler at 0:53
0:10 Why is it honking “Jingle bells”?
They were all doing Jingle Bells, not just that one guy. It was probably close to Christmas when they took these videos.

Metra is planning on retiring these in 2020.
0:41 Me in the future as an engineer in November and December
Nice hornshow.
Why do they do jingle bells?
Musician: so what instrument do you play?
Me:
Perfection.
To me the third clip's horn sounds more a p5 not a k5la
Actually it is a K5LA. You can tell by its great tune
ill miss a horn like that but nowadays amtrak just cares about money and speed
Check out the info tab for more details.
I thought it was hilarious because the diesel was singing jingle bells 🤣🤣
Real MVPs with the jingle bells
A SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT
Train horns rock
Dang these guys were doing SAAHC for a while then.
