OMG ITS A TIME BOMB !

[dbelleperc]

There is a toggle switch on the lower councle to manually turn the light on. Or it is flashing wth the train is in emergency.

Do you mean: THE FLASHING STROBE LIGHT NEXT TO THE ENGINE'S LOWER LEFT LIGHT? Why not simply state that?

Great video! I caught Amtrak NPCU 90230 using its Emergency Light.

@csxES44DC I don't know for sure on the F59's , but on the F40's there was a three position switch on the upper right side of the control stand that had a off, white strobe, red strobe setting. On the Crescent in the 80's they used to run the red strobe going south and white going north when they came through where I lived.

@EMD645E MABEY HIS REGULER BRAKES WERE OUT AND THATS ALL HE HAD TO USE

[EMD645E]

@reatard024 I think the name says it all right here

[jimmyp42002]

@reatard024 Emergency brake and air brakes on the train are all the same system, the E-brake just dumps all the air out of the system and puts the brakes into full application.

@csxES44DC ya it stopped like usual and stopped right were he usually does

[mrplow12346]

they probably got done smashing into another idiot who doesn't know what it means when the gates go down and they forgot to turn the light off

[2010californa]

[Amtrakify]

What was the F59PHI? It sounds like a 454, 455, or 459.

[Amtrak798]

@Amtrakify it was 459

[Amtrakify]

@Amtrak798 Oh.

[Amtrakify]

I love 455.

[Amtrakify]

Why was the emergency light flashing?

[deidelson]

yeah i no it is

[deidelson]

awesome vid five stars man i wonder y the light was flashing

[MarkConductor775]

It's usually an emergency brake light, but there's also a switch in the cab that can be used to turn it on.

[trainmasterfm2]

most likely he almost hit a car or bare had time to stop for the station

[MarkConductor775]

Yeah man, sure.

[Bobcatonline]

[Amtrakboy32]

Wow, nice catch! I wonder if forgot to turn it off or accidentally turned it on.

[amtrakboy627]
