Sounder Rush Hour Trains around Downtown Seattle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- Various Sounder trains during the Morning rush hour around the SODO area of Downtown Seattle. While Sounder trains are still running, they're at a fewer frequency. Bookended sets are becoming less common nowadays with slightly increased service, but I managed to get some few remaining ones on the inbound runs from Tacoma. Also included some older clips from 2018 and 2019 of Sounder and BNSF Freight Trains, including some of the last remaining classic Bombardier cabcars. Most of these classic cabcars aren't running, however there's an off chance you'll see them on the North Line occasionally.
All located and trains listed in video, filmed at both Spokane Street and Stadium control points on the BNSF Seattle Subdivision.

Some pretty weird sounding horns from a sounder!
a lot of the newer sounder vehicles use canadian horns like the k5lla emergency horn.
You can always tell the difference between a newer coach and an older coach by the shade of blue; the new coaches and cab cars have a darker shade of blue
Nice catches! Love to see sounder! I always like the colors
Great footage! I appreciated all the different angles and vantage points, and it was cool to see the train wash in action!
I'm coming to Seattle next month, and I'm going to be seeing tons of Sounder. I really like their paint scheme, and the great K5LAs on their F59PHIs and Old Cab Cars. I really badly want to see and film an Old Cab Car on the point of a train, but I know the chances of actually getting one on point is one in a billion. You got lucky at 3:32, 3:38, and 14:51.
What I really hate is the fact that they do that Double Engine thing. Apparently, it's for Social Distancing, but I heard from some sources that now, they've banned anyone except the crew from going inside a leading Cab Car, so that makes it completely obsolete. It's a waste of fuel and spare motive power.
That, and I absolutely despise the New Cab Cars with a red-hot passion.
I went into an old cab car around eight years back and got to ring the bell and sound the horn. It was one of my favorite experiences riding a sounders train!
I totally agree with you, I will miss the old cab cars but the new ones look nice!
In fact, since childhood, i've actually owned an HO Scale Sounder Cab Car 103. So even though I've never really seen Sounder before, I have always been personally close to their Old Cab Cars.
And, sorry, but I do not entirely agree in return. There is *NOTHING* good about those New Cab Cars. Please scrap them all right now. (I respect your opinion on them, though.)
Only the SunRail ones (from 2013) do.
they are also infected by the cem
Can someone please tell me why the yard is a mix of sounder and Amtrak?
Amtrak utilizes the yards of the railroads that they sublet on because they don't own most ROWs they operate on and don't have many facilities.
The Coast Starlight and the Seattle leg of Empire Builder terminate here, as does the Cascades to Portland. They need places to store and maintain the equipment. There’s nothing that says Sounder and Amtrak can’t share facilities.
Thanks!
5:57 what the hecc?
nice video bro
3:06 thats a funky horn
Quality video Michael, well done
🤓 Stay safe 💙.
This is cool sounder and BNSF so cool!
At least they still have F59s
Fantastic video my friend 👍😀
Love the action. Seattle is definitely an interesting place to film their selection of trains.
Nice video!
Nice video...Greetings from Italy..
Nice!
Did you happen to see 184 while you were spotting? I just caught it along with one of the big game trains! Always love the sounders horns!
Always loved Sounder 905 horn before Amtrak/Sounder changed to a horrid st-upid Amtrak horn. 1:43 1:44 1:45 1:50 1:52 1:55 4:21 4:22 4:27 4:30 4:33
9:40 9:44 9:46 9:47 9:48 9:50 9:52
Do you know anything about Union Pacific’s LIS41 in Tukwila and Kent?
The bi-level cab car is still used on Sounder?
@Acerailfan3306 Trackside better than the talgo cab cars
@Acerailfan3306 Trackside the only thing I don’t like about it is it has the front of a light rail train
@Acerailfan3306 Trackside yeah I don’t see how an extra foot of metal in front of the engineer is supposed to increase the likelihood to survive a head on collision. The only things I really see that benefit the engineers is the larger windshield so they can see better and probably a more comfortable cab. But then you see Metra replacing their gallery cab cars with something that looks fairly similar to the galleries.
@Acerailfan3306 Trackside well yeah but you’re fairly limited to what you can see on the lefthand side because of the controls on the left.
@Acerailfan3306 Trackside yea true. I’ve only seen people complain about the gallery cab cars.
what a nice horn this cabcar has at 2:25
