[LackawannaLtdVideos]

Thanks for posting this video! I've added it to my "Best of Amtrak" playlist- keep up the good work!

[howardkevinm]

is this near the 90mph zone? i know the SWC can hit 90

[mainscoop250]

Holy Bejesus! That baby is movin'

[panzercam]

A employee time table will let you know what the speed limts are. I like to hang out where it's 70 mph on the NS AGS South. 55 mph for freight if they can get it

[Dinosorable]

Why was there steam coming out?

[BurkeDevlin66]

rich butter and cheese now that was faster than a speeding bullet

[MegaZsolti]

@BurkeDevlin66 u mean the train drivers sandwich?

[CoastStarlight11]

WOW!

[jmehl77]

ps. trains are lighter than frt. trains is the reason for speed differances

[kevininsimi]

WOW!

[traindude233]

man....i still think that these loco's have the best horns!!

[MidniteMike1]

I was on Amtrak Train number 98 before Thanksgiving from Fort Lauderdale to Jacksonville, FL and engine 98 was leading the second engine was #198

[cagedpurplebird]

this is probably a dumb question

why is the speed limit for amtrak trains higher than the speed limit for freight trains?

[Treyvs]

@cagedpurplebird Because a passenger trains locomotives and cars are designed for speed and comfort. They can take curves faster. Freight cars are designed for maximum capacity and not for the comfort of the freight, so they can't take higher speed as easy as passenger equipment.

[jfsa380]

Thats why Amtrak buys them (p42's)

[rwhitenight]

@treyvs How can anyone NOT like the video :-). I'd watch this video just because it was 108 degrees in Fort Worth :-).

[DardanellesBy108]

Great train pass clip! One of the best I've seen here on YouTube. Love the horn and the snow blast. Thanks for posting it.

[CoastStarlight11]

DANG!!!!!

[CSXno601]

He was using the "Horn Sequencer." It plays the 'Long, Long, Short, Long' sequence over and over until you turn it off.

[MrDwmeyer]

[andybowe]

[gp40mc]

Wait a minute I already subscribed.

[gp40mc]

I'm favoriting this! Fast trains in the snow make for the best videos. I'm subscribing too.

[maddennis55]

The horn signal must be different in Kansas than the rest of the country,.. it should be 'long,long,short,lo-on-ng' instead of a random sequence of toots!

[martinlumber]

It was a standard L-L-S-L, but the engineer (instead of holding the last L) blew another blast at the end to get through the crossing.

[nscalekevin]

that was very cool

[Davhid1]

Nice....lol
