He was a fun one. One time a few years ago I was at Cucko Station (really Old Town Station in San Diego CA) and I waved to the Amtrak engineer passing through and he honked the horn 6 times, I loved that but since a few passengers and a security guard did not like that, they do not honk the horn so much anymore
I saw on the video ( this one) that 3:12 etc .People were crossing the tracks while the RXR were down !! In my opinion, how dumb and stupid and dangerous and careless!
Night of the 24th, I was working downtown and heard a really nice horn battle between outgoing Coaster and incoming BNSF. I was like "I haven't heard that in a long time... must be someone on the tracks?" Then I get home later and got on the computer... Union-Tribune is my home page, and I saw the story about it. Friggin San Diego, man lol
4:128:4010:5522:0024:12 Really a shameful sight. 2304 had only just returned to service right before this happened, and it would have been a perfect opportunity for it to sound its new horn and for everyone to know what it sounds like now, because before now, 2304 was last known for having an infamous K5CA-LS. But unfortunately, right after it returned, before anyone could film it, it had a PTC failure, and since then has been trapped mid-set behind 2301, my personal Least Favorite unit on all of Coaster.
The K5LA horn on Amtrak Surfliner cab car 6952 (Point Vicente) sounds pretty loud and solid! It's funny that in this same video, another Amtrak Surfliner cab car unit 6908 (Point Estero) is equipped with a K5LA horn that originally belonged to cab car 6952 since 2016. In a 2016 UA-cam video of Amtrak Surfliner cab car 6952's new sounding K5LA horn, it had just gotten a brand new #2 horn bell installed after years of sounding bad. At some point in the late 2010's, cab car 6952's new sounding K5LA horn was given to cab car 6908, and cab car 6952 got another new narrow font K5LA horn installed.

Those are heavy and long freight trains. I say bring back the one thing that translates to something like, 'See me down the line, thats me comeing in, move it, now or you loose it.' That's the two long, one short, one long which should be the recognised standard, nothing more, but nothing less. For operators who want to have fun blowing the horns a lot, there's open areas away from populations, maybe not for inner-city trams or subways transpotaion, but use it responsibility and I'm happy with that. 😊

15:41 Looks like Amtrak Surfliner café car 6306 (San Timoteo Canyon) finally reverted back to its original Pacific Surfliner livery after months covered up in the X Games 2023 ad wrap. However, the "Amtrak California" text and the upper blue livery on café car 6306 appear to be peeling off already. Someone's gonna have to repaint the café car with new blue paint and reinsert the new "Amtrak California" letter decals.

As far as I can see there is a speed restriction in downtown, so the engineer slows down while blowing their horn. These idiot people wants both, slowing down & not blow their horn. Well they can have one but not both.
I love trains, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't like living here during this temporary quiet horn suspension! This would be so annoying after few hours in those flats
Awesome k5la horn 6901 cab car cool video Spencer great 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤🎉 i love those sc 44 SIEMENS CHARGERS too one of the chargers is 21128 my favorite one and coaster train 🚂❤❤❤ please make a cool video soon of p42s general electric GE on coast starlight's train 🚂 ? You are awesome 😎🇺🇲🌎🚦🚂👍👍
I am just like that first engineer in my train simulator except I make sure that everyone knows that I’m coming through lol 😂. I sometimes just lay down the horn or sometimes I just do random hits on the horn

UPADTE: As of Monday January 29th, the quiet zone has returned.
*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
YEAH!
@@TheAmtrakSpartan you a quiet zone supporter dude?
Are they enforced or are quiet zones just a “hey please dont honque honque here”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO why, how could they?
That first engineer had way too much fun lol.
i bet hes happy he can honk the horn now
Dude really wants to make sure the quiet zone goes into effect permanently
My thoughts exactly 😂😂😂
6952 has a fantastic horn!

Nice to hear that horns are being used again in over a decade!

@@owenevans5061if it’s a freight train doing 10mph I get it. But I’ll have to agree with you on a passenger train that takes 10 seconds to pass
Who knew that 12 years later, horns could sing again
I Did
I did
8:21 the most angelic horn I've ever heared
Coaster 2301. Also seen at 20:44
I wouldn't mind hearing that every day!
ascending after hearing it
Bro facts
2301 is angelic if you ask me

The Amtrak cabcars kick ass downtown!
Surfliner cab supremacy
Amazing video!! Glad to have the horns blast loudly again in the heart of downtown San Diego
This is awesome! Thank you for your support of the train horns and saying no to them quiet zones!
It baffles me that people still choose to cross when then crossing lights are on
it baffles me that people choose to live right next to train tracks and complain about the noise
@@thiccwicky7571 that too
I’ve seen several people jump across a moving train on a double track section and they don’t even look to see if it’s clear.
@@djtrainman2me too
Return of the honking era in San Diego, well done!
As a trolley driver I definitely abused the horn
Going to take a wild guess the first Surfliner was apart of quiet zone being reinstated.
It seems like the crews aren't big fans of the quiet zone. They're certainly being enthusiastic.
Very nice video It’s very nice to hear those horns again at San Diego.
Too Loud For People to Live There But I Glad Train Horns Are back Since 2011

Oh boo hoo about the train horn. Don’t like train noise?? Don’t move near the train tracks.
Facts, they should not live near the tracks if they hate the horns

0:56 If all of the horns were Unrestricted, It would've sounded like NJ Transit Unrestricted K5LA
They were having a lot of fun lol at the beginning. TRAIN HORN BATTLE!
And now...San clemente tracks also close once again after a landslide.
That sucks I know
good to see you back on train duty spence!
I bet those engineers had fun retaliating against those people by pissing them off.
2301 sounded stellar! Interesting to see 2304 is behind it instead of leading. 8:22 20:44
Ptc is having issues so it’s gonna be mid consist for the time being
Cool. Thank for clearing that up :)
Me after realizing that spencer also likes trains
