Amtrak 774 Shave and a Haircut!!!!

[cadrums9]

[GP49PHS]

look at the dirt being kicked from far away

[mailtrain24599]

i dont mean to be rood but hear in tigard i got tased for not putting my camra down

[googleboyny]

Fantastic. Great ending too !

[TheFlagman2]

You at the end made me laugh!

[gygyman64]

Found a new ringtone for my phone XD!

[robertgift]

How unprofessional.

Such nonsense should not be allowed.

Why the first grade crossing sequence? Is there a crossing?

Why blowingrade crossing sequence AFTER the crossing? Doesn't know how to time it?

[ttcsubway209]

@robertgift There's approximately a 2 second sound delay for every mile. So if the train is 2 miles away, sound is delayed by 4 seconds.

[robertgift]

@ttcsubway209 Sound takes 5 seconds to travel 1 mile. The locomotive is not far because we hear the grade crossing bells and the horn would not be as loud if farther away.

Unprofessional of her to be playin wit da whistle. She should be reprimanded.

Hope they make these crossings Quiet Zones.

[ttcsubway209]

@robertgift Sorry I thought it was 2 seconds. But in the video you see the train and hear the horn. There is a delay for sound however there is no delay for sight. The train we see in the video is at the exact spot the train actually is. But for sound, the train has to be at least half a mile away when it is blowing it's horn for the grade crossing, so there is a 2.5 second sound delay. So from her point of view it's fine, but from the camera's there is a delay due to distance.

[robertgift]

@ttcsubway209 No problem. Using thunder you can tell distance to lightning - about 1100 ft. per second.

The final sound is occuring during and after the locomotive has crossed the road. Riding in the locomotive, I heard another engineer starting too late and ending AFTER the crossing. After is worthless. If you are going to be off in timing, better to be too early than late.

But all of this noise pollution is needless when there are (o)=(o) bells and gates.

[nickelback303]

lol was that ur friend who gave the thumbs up

[azianhoney]

WIN!

[theorangelemons]

@nev594 a shave and a haircut is the last horn pattern he gave.

[nev594]

OMG you look just like me! Scary. I don't have a photo of me but you just have to believe me that you and I could be brothers (I'm refereing to the gentleman who gives the thumbs up in the video. Show this to my girlfriend and she said "Holy shit"! I'm a 40 year old fat train buff. But what is a shave and haircut?

[xtremepadrefan]

no way that was Nancy

[Amtrak798]

@xtremepadrefan hard to believe haha but it happened

[NSLocomotiveFan]

Please accept my video response!

[trainboy94]

Nancy giving an S&HC??? Thats unheard of

[NSLocomotiveFan]

What exactly is a shave and a haircut?

[hotdog2020]

@NSLocomotiveFan Start listening at :48 thhe pattern of horn whistles. It is used at the end of shows for comedy. The Tv Show Beverly hillbillies used it before every commercial break. Just a fun thing for the engineer to do acknowledging the people filming. Like a trucker using his air horn

[Trainz35]

Check out my video of Amtrak Hiawatha 177 Shave and a Haircut!

Well its the end of that Metrolink's service. after 774 passes it will pull SB in to MPK and then head to LAUPT. But the line for SCAX extends up to Montalvo

[musthavejava]

Hey, thanks.

[coastergreg]

A woman engineer?

[Amtrak798]

[coastergreg]

[calibusfan2230]

why is there a metrolink sitting there. Are they waiting for the clear?

[Amtrak798]

The metrolink goes to moorpark. Lets people off and then pulls up...Then it returns to LA after 774 passes. I think it is the early lunch break

[RetroXGamer360]
