Wow! This is almost like a West coast version of the Downeaster! Nicely done! :)

[CoasterFan2105]

@trinityct indeed it is! Thanks!

[trinityct]

@CoasterFan2105 Sure! :)

[railfan4235]

Mike, do you know that 116 may have an e-bell now?

[CoasterFan2105]

116 does not have an e-bell. It still has a mechanical bell as far as I know. Where did you hear this?

[railfan4235]

Well there was a video posted by highironofwisconsin with 116 leading and it sure sounds like one. check it out.

[CoasterFan2105]

You are indeed correct! It does have an e-bell. But its horn still sounds great!

[railfan4235]

Now there's about 4 that do..weird. but yes the horn is good!

[CoasterFan2105]

There's a lot more than 4. Off of the top of my head, there's 203, 207, 169, 14, 16, 116, and a few others.

[railfan4235]

wow jeez, as well as 44, 101, 100, and 91.

[MarkConductor775]

Now 115, 172, 38, and the list continues.

[CoasterFan2105]

There's a lot more haha!

[Amtrakdavis22]

Great shot!

[CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!!

[Amtrak798]

That was sweet. Our friend at the controls.

[CoasterFan2105]

Jason?

[Amtrak798]

Eric. The horn quill as he goes over the crossing. Full horn, then half, then 2 toots and then half and full. Tricky tricky.

[CoasterFan2105]

How long has Eric been running on that line?

[amtk122]

forever. he works the SWC vent, and surf lines

[CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[GregInCalifornia]

Nice shot!

[amtk122]

shes a beaut

[amtrakboy627]

Nice one!

[AmtrakJames112]

so is the reason for the horizons on the train is because amtrak doesnt have that many surfliners in there fleet or is it because the route to santa barbra and beyon not that commonly traveled by amtrak

[amtk122]

not enought surf fleet

[TrainDr101]

I'd say that's a broken nose on 116.
