yes, the gevo's have a lower sound for one simple reason, they have different bells on it. K5HL's have Bells 1l, 1, 2, 3, 4 and the H in the K5HL stands for high manifold, k5la's have 1, 2, 3a, 4a, 5 on them with a Low manafold. the one on the amtrak is a k5LA because its a low manafold and produces some of the higher tones then the HL does.
QuickBurn70 oh what heaven that would be, too bad we don't see surfliner locks up here anymore, they just put P42s and call it a day. Amtrak has no taste anymore.
Ahhh, the good ol' days with the F40PH's and F59PHI's on Cascades and Sounder. Now, Sounder has the MP40PH-3C which has a 4-piece windshield and is meant to comply with the Tier 3 standard. I really do like the F59PHI's better. Now both the 40 and 59 will be replaced with Chargers. Kinda sad to see them go. The Charger does look pretty cool, though!
I just can't understand one thing about the cabbage cars on the Cascades trains. How can they have a horn if they don't have an engine to produce power for the horn?
No, it really is a poorly maintained K5LA horn. It sounds identical to most of the other horns on the other Cascades NPCUs except one note is off. This horn plays a b where it should play an a. The other K5LA horns on the Cascades NPCUs play c d e a and c.
Wicked Hybrid K5LA on that NPCU!! Sounds exactly like an Acela!!! Nice meet!
Thats my favorite place to watch trains. The horn echoes perfectly in the valley

That sounded like a K5HL on the second train, with 461 pushing?? Great catch! Now, if only we could see a Cascades loco pulling a Surfliner...

Surfliner F59 was up here again recently, 463. I caught it, and when i did, it sure brought some memories
is no one gonna mention the surfliner loco at 0:50?
That surfliner PHI Locomotive was temporarily used on the cascades service
That is what we in Australia call 'a great cross'.

The MP40PH-3C's have one of the worst horns I have ever heard.
@@West_Cascade_Rail I KNOW RIGHT! ughhh...
@@everettrailfan the Amtrak horns will always be better
Both engines are working in the direction of travel. Saves on turning the train around at either end of it's route.
Wow I didn't realize some of the cabbages had K5HL horns...that's the same horn on GEVO's, right? Anyway, great video!
I’ve never seen Amtrak look like this, cool :-))
Thanks!
Son 2 trenes Amtrak con coches españoles TALGO. Suspensión basculante, con gran confort en curvas.
Is the back engine actually pushing or just along for the ride until the train goes back?
its just there until power is sent to the cab for the return trip
Norman Mcgill It’s pushing the lead is a cab car.
Man I wish we had Acela up here.
yes That is the same horn as the horn on the GEVO's.
that deffinantly is not a K5HL, its just a poorly maintained K5LA
Good video. Nice catch.
The 2nd trains horn sounded like an Acelas Hybrid K5LA, Right?
Where can i get a rain guard like yours for my camera?
Nice catch.
I just can't understand one thing about the cabbage cars on the Cascades trains. How can they have a horn if they don't have an engine to produce power for the horn?
Ah. thanks. I guess even 'scrap-metal' locomotives can come in handy.
do you know what number that surfy was?
Talgo alive! Spain alive !!!!!
wow that sounds exatcly like a k5hl!
It sure sounded like one though.
@roweman2 That's one reason, and it's a baggage car
