Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- F40s and TONS of unique K5LA action! Train horns are meant to get your attention. The late Pete Staats took it one further and would toot tunes to prevent accidents and trespasser strikes. He also knew of my affinity for train horns and would put on a show whenever he saw me.
All clips are from 1998.
Clip 1:
F40 394, train 64 at Centerport, NY. Mighty Quinn and Jingle Bells
Clip 2:
F40 394, train 64 near Jordan, NY. Jingle Bells and Shave and a Haircut
Clip 3:
F40 316, train 63 at Centerport, NY. Jingle Bells and Shave and a Haircut
Clip 4:
F40 394, train 64 near Jordan, NY. Mighty Quinn and Jingle Bells
Amtrak Engineers: "You railfans want a show? I'll give you a show!".
The engineers must be railfans as well, cause they gave some classic footage..
Lol so true 😂😂
They real G’s for that.
0:50 honestly one of the best Shave And A Haircuts Out there!
yes, best one Ive heard ngl
Best one I heard was a cal train one!
YES!
It is my personal favorite(besides the one I got to record!)
*I'm assuming this was around Christmas time because they were doing Jingle Bells on the P5 horn*
The K5LA is music to my ears!
I agree
Its the same
Same
You are exactly right
Fixed Approach mine to!
Nice horns playing Jingle Bells! :)
Alex Paumen Yeah I agree!
Would you really wanna hear Jingle Bells get honked on a badly-tuned P2?
BNSF1995 I can do that for you 😂😂😂
BNSF1995 😂
Dang! Wish I could get horn shows like that.
Metra MP36 407 and at a decent pace
Same
I guess I can say i almost got one like that
Oh I get a lotta horn shows from trains
The second Shave and haircut was the best thing ever!
IKR
Exactly!
ShortzYT Transit & Gaming so true.
best one ive ever heard
The k5s will always be legendary
I can imagine it on a GEVO
Man! If I were an engineer, I would do that to every single rail fan I see! Lol!
Same
You would be the happiest train engineer ever
wow what friendly engineers
Most engineers aren't friendly anymore.
THEN CHECK OUT 822 HEARTLAND FLYER ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
@@homer4635 wrong. Most of the time I railfan, the engineers usually honk at me

It’s A Reference To Dumbo When Casey Jr Says “All Aboard, Lets Go.” With His Whistle
JackElite “Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits”
JackElite, Nope. That’s An Shave And A Haircut 2 Bits.

Septa Railfan 1000 a
I can tell
No shit
No duh
No shit
This gave me chills. Trains are exciting, but there's a rare occasion I get chills when trackside. This is equivalent to some of my all time favorite Acela hornshows.
Now that's A Horn show!!
Ameridas 45 it sure is
0:50 best S&HC Ive ever heard
0:41 music to my ears
One of the best K5la horn shows I ever heard.
Never thought about other tunes that engineers played on these horns. Mighty Quinn is genius.
This is some great footage!! One of the friendliest engineers ever on Amtrak.
1:09 Now I know where that horn sound came from xD
Where?
@Hunter Bachuss it’s from Trainz: A New Era (or T:ANE for short)
I can listen to this over and over again. F40PHs have the best horns ever.
RIP Pete, one of the greatest engineers to ride the rails!
Amazing! In the beginning it was awesome how the engineer played jingle bells on the K5LA
i like the second one with the shave and a hear cut
The Vehicle at 1:27 would be a 92-96 Ford F150.
93
Niceee
Now tell me someone who asked

0:01 Is That The 21st Century Logo!? XD

No one could do a horn show like big Moe
Best horn ever on the 2nd clip! Just awesome dude!
BEST F40PH VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salute to the F40s, we miss you
At least Metra is still running them on all their non-electrified lines.
Whoo! That's so awesome. Too bad I didn't exist at that time and too bad I wasn't there either. Love that F40PH and love that K5LA horn.
I just love Amtrak
AWSOME, that is one of the best crew and horn shows I've ever seen!!
Are you for real?? This is AWESOME!!!
0:41 That’s a good one!
I showed this video to my Godson He LOVED IT and i love it as well. Also the Driver in the Pick up truck is like What the???
What a legend, need more drivers like that.
3 Amtrak F40PHs were saved from the scrapyard.
The musical F40PH 🚈🚈🎼🎵🎶

K5LA horns are music to my ears

OMG YEAH LOL
Too bad we don’t have nice engineers like that anymore.
wow what a friend you have there
What an awesome horn show! Thanks for sharing! It must have been awesome to be able to experience it. It seems today you hear about so much animosity between railfans and crews this is very pleasant.
Insane! Love them!
Awesome!!!

Awesome catches & Great horn shows!
The horns on the F40PHs sound fantastic.

ill miss a horn like that but nowadays amtrak just cares about money and speed

Nice horn show
VERY AWESOME DUDE!
I thought it was hilarious because the diesel was singing jingle bells 🤣🤣
To me the third clip's horn sounds more a p5 not a k5la
Actually it is a K5LA. You can tell by its great tune
All the k5las
Jingle bells jingle bells all the way
1:09 train fan 1055 user amtrak f40 horn
*Csx owns few of these F40phs today for their OCS train exeption of 9999 its in YN3B as for the other units they have been repainted into B&O paint scheme and remember to CSX 1 2 and 3 CSX 9999 is in YN3B as of now eventually it will be renumbered into CSX 4*
What year did amtrak retire all of the f40ph's... Bc here in Canada VIA Rail runs 53 of them on there fleet along with 21 P42DC's and back in 2007 the goverment funded via to rebuild all of our F40PH's all tho the prototype (Via # 6400) back in 2010 it was involved in a huge accedent and was retierd and scraped in 2012... but now all 53 of our F40PH's run our blue and grey theme instead of the grey and yellow colour... they look nice with our BUDD coaches and the P42DC's look good with our LRC coaches.
GamersGoneCRAZY 2001, except the exhibit train has Amtrak 406 (F40PH, Phase III) and their Cabbage cars exist (F40s without an engine(needs a P42 for help) and holds baggage.)
ok Thank you... I thought they retiered them in 1999
GamersGoneCRAZY Actually 406 is an F40, but it's a Non-Powered Control Unit (NPCU) and works like a cabbage car, but it doesn't have the baggage door and doesn't hold baggage. I think some units in the 200 series are F40s.
Union Pacific 2010 Fan it's really to bad if you ask me. the fact that they only have 1 (that still has the phase III scheme) f40ph... I personally think that company's (Like Amtrak and VIA) should egnolage old engines and restore some of them for some kind of heritage runs... The only difference between Amtrak and VIA is they don't have a running "heritage unit" it's only on display and repainted with the Maple leaf on the front... but VIA has dissownd there f units and it's upsetting
Metra is planning on retiring these in 2020.
F40ph is a master at hornshows
This rocks!
Nice!!!
A SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT
0:10 Why is it honking “Jingle bells”?
They were all doing Jingle Bells, not just that one guy. It was probably close to Christmas when they took these videos.
Train horns rock
Musician: so what instrument do you play?
Me:
Gotta wonder what the passengers on-board thought when they heard that...
Nice Doppler at 0:53
mdamttc199 Great Video!
The fact that some of the f40s play jingle bells
I guess they really like Christmas
I remember when F40's would run on the CSX Grand Rapids Sub for train 371 and 370, (Pere Marquette) They stopped putting F40's on 371/370 in 2001.
Dang these guys were doing SAAHC for a while then.
The first few are literally Jingle Bells
Hey im in florida currently and cant make it to NY to see that but i wish i could
xxMineVSCraftxx Gaming & Railfanning F40PHs were taken out of service. 406 is the last one that's not a cabbage car in service, but it's a NPCU, which requires another locomotive with an engine.
