Starlight and a Work Train - UP Brooklyn Subdivion - Radio Chatter

After a long week of studying at our respective colleges, I picked up 'es44fan" and drove south towards Marion and Jefferson Oregon. We stumbled upon this spot and we're glad we did. Here we see a 2 hour late Amtrak 14 Coast Starlight, and a Southbound UP Work Train heading down towards Klamath Falls to aid in the cleanup/track repair of a recent derailment.
(You can hear footsteps on the gravel as "es44fan" and I scramble to find a good shooting location for still pictures.)

The Amtrak K5LA sounded like a steam whistle! And nice catch on the work train!

[@AmtrakPNW]

Yeah! That horn on 205 has been loosing one of its chimes over the year. K5LAs have 5 chimes (or 5 notes) - And the lowest overtone is completly shot on that loco - hence it sounding higher pitched and airy. Thanks for watching!

[@PNWTrains]

It seems like lots of the older SD70ACes in UP's fleet have the same problem with their K5LLAs. Some of them sound like K3LAs.

[@AmtrakPNW]

Yeah as horns get older, they will foul up and loose notes. The most common note to loose on a K5LA is the 3rd partial. I forget the actual note off the top of my head - but if you hear a P42 or B32 with a somewhat empty and whiney sounding horn then thats why.

Great video, Cole. Nice to see a southbound that isn't the 'Q' haha.

[@AmtrakPNW]

Yeah it was nice seeing another Mid-Day freight! Came through just after 12:00

How bad was the derailment in Klamath Fall's,OR.

[@AmtrakPNW]

MRVHK the morning earlier derailed and left about 10 cars on the ground. Although it was on a siding so the main was not fouled for too long. But they were able to clean up the cars and replace the section of track in just a few days. Thanks for watching!

Glad nobody was hurt.
