Sounder and Amtrak Trains on November 27, 2009

@PNWTransitFreak, consist flipping is done to make the Seahawks game trains possible. Everett doesn't have the room to store the bigger game train consists. So instead, they operate two trainset's "backwards" so they can combine trainsets to make one train for game trains.

That would obviously make sense. It would make things easier to combine 4 trains of 3 car trains to 2 of 6 car trains. Considering that Sounder is running 2 big Seahawks Train to accommodate the relative large game crowd compared to the Home Run Special, which only runs one big trainset.

Nice catches good horns. Once I went to Edmonds and saw 5 trains in just over 2 hours

Thanks Felice. The 2nd F59PHI is indeed in a wrap. To be honest, I don't know why we have consist flipping all over Sounder. However, I'm happy with all of this variety that we have.

Awesome Video. Sweet horns.  5 Stars.

[ANDREWAMTRAK]

What the hell is wrong with that horn.

[GenesisSanctuary]

Great vid. You're wrong about one thing though. #19 isn't the only Amtrak P42DC that has an E-bell.  There are a few others that have E-bells too.

[NWPhotographyDirect]

Oh. I see, but still, pretty rare to find them though.

[GenesisSanctuary]

Yeah, they are pretty rare.

[trainmaster55]

I believe #59 is another one that has an E-Bell. Awesome video!
