I'm not particularly a train spotter but I listen to this video to fall asleep xD I now have a fondness for some of these trains and it kind of makes me want to take up the hobby. Thank you for such an awesome video!
I've noticed that. Of course it's mandiatory for trains to have to sound both tones before coming through a station, but most of these are very short friendly toots and it's heartwarming :P
Are you referring to the weed-spraying train? If so, the provision of two locos is simply so that all the tracks can be treated in both directions with maximum efficiency, i.e. without the need to waste time detaching, running round, and re-attaching at each reversal.
@@skiiipawbs That is a nuclear waste train. The two wagons are FNAs, used to carry the waste. They have two locos on incase one breaks down. Sometimes you do find maybe 3 or 4 locos with just 1 FNA.
@@Robbo_13 Mm. The consequences if a 125-mph express train smashed into a broken down nuclear containment unit would be disastrous. They always have 2 locos on for the sake of in case one breaks. Which is why it’s always 2 of the same, so they’re compatible.
@@bennickss Wasn't always 2 of the same loco, many times you would find a 20+37, 37+57 combo, with maybe another different loco in the consist as well. Now it is more common of a 66+66, 68+68, 88+88, 68+88 combo, simply due to amount DRS have.
UK diesel and electric locomotives are usually fitted with two-tone horns, sounded sequentially to distinguish them from the horns used on road vehicles, the tones being described as either 'high' or 'low'. In the past, both tones were routinely used.
British train horns sound so subtle and less impressive than their American counterparts. It's sad because unlike here the UK has a rail system that actually works
Amtrak sucks. That’s basically it. Outside the northeastern US service is very limited and has a reputation for being late because they’re at the mercy of freight railroads that own the tracks. In the UK you can get practically anywhere by train and in good time.
How is it sad? A railroad exists to convey freight and passengers from A to B. As long as the horn can satisfy safety requirements what need is there to make them louder than necessary other than to satisfy some the tastes of a handful of train enthusiasts? There are far fewer level crossings in the UK so there is no need for an American horn.
@@matthewcatsey In the Us, trains tend to give longer horn blasts, and the horns themselves seem to be louder and have a "fuller" sound. This goes back to the days of steam with the British "Peep Peep" whistles vs lower-pitched American whistles

No here at 7:14 they aren’t one opposite ends. And why didn’t they cut at least 10-15 more cars on that train?

Southampton train spotter i spot in the same city
Train horns, every driver has their own style. 🎼👍
Have train horns changed , they sound different to the British Rail videos
What class of trains
Probably because camera quality has increased a lot since the 70s when those were made.
17:32 i love that startup sound
Why does every train in this video need a wash?
That’s what uk trains are for
14:45 I was prob there, swanage railway?
14:31 to this day was the first time I saw an electric train pulling freight
And you'll see more once you reach mainland europe
They 73 needs a bath at the start
Could you please advise me of the location at 09:33 please. thank you.
Bradford on Avon foot crossing - Bristol side of the station

Because it was put together in 2018
Tom Bayne. I’ve edited it just for YOU... there’s always one 😂
swearingkevo was just pointing out a simple fact steady
0:02 that is one dirty class 73
The state of them 73s what a mess lol
I need to see an American horn on a British loco before I die
finn2724 search ‘class 91 horn’ their high tone horns are just like American ones
Don't Class 71's have air whistles like American trains?
yeah the class 91 is a DVT sometimes
@@coolcomputertutorials9545 yep but as far as I’m aware there are no operational 71s
11:53 BoCo's horn
Great 😊
UK train horns have like two sounds. Can some one from the uk explain why??
UK diesel and electric locomotives are usually fitted with two-tone horns, sounded sequentially to distinguish them from the horns used on road vehicles, the tones being described as either 'high' or 'low'. In the past, both tones were routinely used.
swearingkevo I’m going to assume your road vehicles are cars? Or just different types of locomotives.
Cars, lorry’s, busses etc
It's a two tone, with two setting horn switch. Usually marked with "HIGH" and "LOW". You get a good driver, and they'll give you a proper show!
I like the train that has the ka
Is that first locomotive a class 66?
First one in this video is a class 73
That 73 at the start may need a little wash ummmm...
What camera did you use for the videos? I’ve been thinking of buying one for spotting and think that this will be the best camera for spotting
I use a Panasonic HC-VXF1

Aaron Roffman Carr to explain?

Aaron Roffman yeah Amtrak isn’t that good anymore not gonna lie. Our freight locomotives and our rolling stock is good though
