FAST!! VIA Rail Trains! Volume 3. F40PH and P42DC - Awesome Horns!!

These are Canada's fastest passenger trains reaching a top speed of 100 mph!! These trains were captured between 2011 and 2014 in the Quebec City - Windsor Corridor. All of this footage was captured on the Kingston Sub with the exception of one scene being from the Halton Sub.
Turn up the volume and enjoy the P42's, F40's both original as well as rebuilds putting in hard service pulling various consists of LRC, HEP and Renaissance coaches. J-trains are also included. These locomotives are just cooking! Most of these locomotives and coaches will soon be replaced as VIA's new fleet for the corridor is right around the corner.

Via 6444 is in this video - The crash that destroyed it was 11 years ago. How time flies.

8:56 Amazing K5LA Horn on 907

[@46fd04]

Some of the air horns on these VIA locos are useless. I've been at crossings where they're barely audible.

[@100m.p.h.]

I think the horns get fouled with dirt and debris and need to be cleaned but that would be with horns on all locos

[@railroadmcdailroad1565]

Grass growing on the tracks? Perhaps railroad corporations are more eco-friendly than I once thought.

[@jackchen7003]

They should’ve never replaced the P42 horns. The current ones sounds awful

[@MikeSOR]

I agree with you, they shouldn’t have replaced them, but I don’t think the current P42 horns (K5CA-LS) sound too bad. I decently like them.

[@100m.p.h.]

I fourth that!🙂

[@R162A-1-train]

I’d rather both, but the SC42’s more, kinda like a synth version of the P42’s

[@100m.p.h.]

@@R162A-1-train They have a unique ring to them for sure.

[@jmream2618]

@ 1:30 is that P42 a DPU

[@100m.p.h.]

They look like a DPU but the are actually MU'd or multiple unit. Same as if you had 2 locomotives hooked together on a freight train at the front. VIA has a cableling system that runs through all the LRC coaches (kinda like an extension cord) this allows them to hook up additional locomotives and or additional train sets.

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

What's the track speed for passenger trains in this part of Canada?
I do know that outside America's high speed corridors on the East Coast, some lines in the midwest, and some lines in California, and some other places, the typical track speed is only 80 MPH (it's actually 79 but trains do go a little over 80, but only at like 83 tops) at top speed for passenger trains.
Those trains really do fly.

[@100m.p.h.]

Track speed in this part of Canada (Quebec City-Windsor corridor) tops out at 100mph. They really move. Of course outside of Canada there is much faster than that.

[@therailfan5412]

Where was the 2nd scene shot?

[@100m.p.h.]

The second scene is at Newtonville at the end of Nichols Road. There used to be wooden bridges that crossed over the CP Belleville Sub as well as the CN Kingston Sub. Both bridges are now gone with no access to this location. The CN bridge was struck by a dimensional load on a freight train and the CP bridge was dismantled. If I was to guess it needed repairs and it was also a bridge to nowhere (aside from usage by railfans)

[@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164]

How can ya'll go so fast around the tracks like that without derailing, here in NYC the metro north derails if it goes at that speed

[@100m.p.h.]

I guess the track speed is better up north? 🤣

[@jiovaniloncarevic]

MTA has extreme turns that need to be rounded off, and wooden ties replaced with concrete. Metro North is not as bad which is why they do 82mph in some places.
