4K: The Return of Train Horns in Downtown San Diego on 7/30/17

- Before I say anything - yes this is footage from 2017 and not from the past! Last Sunday, I heard over the radio that there was a 6.32.2 in effect in Downtown San Diego, at the 3 main crossings around the Santa Fe Depot. Upon hearing this news, I raced Downtown and was treated with a K5LA symphony that took me back in time to the pre quiet zone days! For those of you who aren't familiar, back in 2012 San Diego became an official quiet zone in the Downtown portion of the city. 12 crossings between Laurel Street and 5th Avenue were "upgraded" throughout 2011 and 2012, meaning trains no longer need to normally blow their horns throughout Downtown San Diego. However, if an emergency or abnormal situation is deemed or seen by the engineer or by dispatch, then horn use is allowed. This exact situation happened this past Sunday.
The 3 crossings at Ash Street, Beech Street, and Cedar Street had crossing malfunctions this particular day, which caused for a horn alley symphony that one particular afternoon. I caught various Amtrak and Coaster trains at all 3 of these crossings, and it just sounded amazing once again to hear horns in downtown San Diego echoing between the Downtown skyscrapers. Most of the engineers as well weren't too shy to make some noise which is of course well appreciated!
I stayed from around 3 PM to 7 PM, also caught the Del Mar Block consist doing its switch work around CP Ash, and coupling to 580's set. It then departed on 591 Northbound towards Los Angeles shortly after.
The last clip shows Amtrak #579 departing the historic Santa Fe Depot back on July 22nd, with the 6.32.2 in effect at Ash Street only. Not as much horn as the previous few clips, but still noteworthy to include!
Thanks for watching!!

The K5LA’s must have been amazing in downtown San Diego. Hearing the echo was awesome as it traveled throughout the city.
That F59PHI 454 WAS SO LOUD!
Sounds super good for an F59PHI that’s for sure.
Awesome video Michael! Sounds absolutely beautiful to hear those horns echoing beneath the downtown skyline again, even temporarily. Thanks great work!

Thanks for watching Balerio!
Finally the quiet zone in San Diego is gone!
I wish it was gone forever, but just for the day.
Nice catches... Ash St has been a 6.32 culprit for quite some time now, happens weekly now it seems
Thanks, the more the merrier in my opinion!
Nice! Horns in a quiet zone, I love it! Brings me memories of riding the Pacific Surfliner from Irvine to San Diego in 2011, when we got off and on, I heard so many horns, it was amazing!
Return and Revenge of the K5LA. Revenge on those crybabies who took away our joy.
They silenced train horns in lakeland florida and someone got hit but survived. They should bring back the horns before someone is killed. What idiots.
Very nice video! This was music to my ears! :)
Thank you, and same!
10:09 LOUD HORN!!! Please use headphones
Revenge of the K5LAs.😊 Sweet vidro bro!
Thanks!
Is this horn Zone still in affect?
TexasRailfan21 no, quiet zone again
3002 has one hell of a horn! Amazing video as always.
It sure does, you have good taste! ;) Thanks bro.
MichaelLovesTrains No problem
@@Michaellovestrains Shame on you for promoting ugly and terrible! So many people have health problem being scared but not protected from moving train!
This video gives me nostalgia since every day when I was young I went to San Diego to watch trains and the horns always gave me shivers in my spine of the horns Doppler effect. Thank you
Wow! The horn on these trains are amazing and you got a good shot of these trains! Awesome video!
Update 2024: Horns are back again! 😃📯
Brings back great memories...nice video michael!
Thanks for watching Ian!
Bring the horns back to san diego! Fuck the quiet zone! I hope us tax payers didnt have to pay for the qz upgrades
Agreed
Well, your wish came true. It's back in 2024!
Why/how the fuck does this happen? I hope it happens again some time!
Very beautiful horns!!
12:33 Left ditch light burned out
Excellent video. The 4K is awesome!
Thank you!
My question is how do young people afford to live in those condos? If you look at the young people up on the balcony to the top left when 3002 is passing, they have front row seats to horn shows in these rare occasions. I want to know how to afford to live there.
Train horns are awesome to hear!
next year marks the final year of the F59s on Coaster. We may never hear these again in San Diego
Yep
@@StudioSA15 you😤
@@bodacious4398 I offered ypu metrolink pack so don't get mad at me at all
@@StudioSA15 Nigga, I don't want your pirated software
I love the K5LA from 3002
I like 454 Horn
Keep at it a great work.
0:54 3002 :)
awesome video of these coasters and picnic surfliners in this town getting back to normal with there horns
but I hurd some dome people who live in this town are complaining about the whstle horn actions because they don't like haw it can be disturbing and they don't like haw some night trains can wake theme up like the polar express night train
but hopefully some day there understand that railman's are out there trying to get horn shows
I like coaster F59PHI
My goodness, Amtrak P42 No. 11 is sounds very mean 😏😏😅😅🙂🙂
i should go down there
Horns sound much better than the crossing bells
3002 Sounds amazing!
Sounds better than their choked horns
Sound of born from horror movie! What a shame! Someone pays lots of money to say ugly and terrible is good!
