@joe9320 there was a us flag on the f-40ph as well at 1:12 but it was near the front of the loco not near the rear like on the mp36 not sure why they put it on mabey cause its an american railroad not sure if amtrak operates the company or not though but they look good dont ya think?

will METRA ever get into the Bombardier BiLevel commuter cars like GO Transit, Sounder and so many other RTA's ?

I like the fact that Metra MP36PH-3s have "Real" locomotive bells... Cant stand those electronic bells on New Metrolink loco's. I fear its only a matter of time before I hear my first surfliner with one.. UGHHHH.

right, i dont get the point of digital bells any way, what, is there a shortage of compressed air or something?

No just the "Newer is better" theory, sadly..

CoasterFan2105 2 years ago

@lennonandlauren I'll second that! They are a unique bunch, the only MP36's to have m-bells!

Another troll explained the lulz as a quasi-thermodynamic exchange between the sensitive and the cruel: You look for someone who is full of it, a real blowhard. Then you exploit their insecurities to get an insane amount of drama, laughs and lulz. Rules would be simple: 1. Do whatever it takes to get lulz. 2. Make sure the lulz is widely distributed. This will allow for more lulz to be made. 3. The game is never over until all the lulz have been had.

i wonder why caltrain has no k5la horns

1joseaz 3 years ago

They used to... In fact, the F40's still do and one of their yard switchers still uses its K5LA.

CoasterFan2105 3 years ago

Looks like we need some horn info:

-Only the Union Pacific lines Cabcars have K5LAs

-The Heritage Corridor and SouthWest Service lines Cabcars have K5LAs with 2 chimes removed because of clearence problems at Union Station

-All other lines (NCS, MD-W, MD-N, BNSF,RI) Cabcars have K3LAs

-All types of the F40 used by Metra have some form of P5 horn

-All MP36 locomitves have K5LAs with the exception of 401 and 412

how much does 1 of those way?

string193 3 years ago

Probably around 100 to 120 tons.

CoasterFan2105 3 years ago

I did not know that the MP36 had a mars light!

furryfurball1221 3 years ago

at 0:22 the mp36 blew the horn before the metra f40 came into view

lexmarks567 3 years ago

That was theK3LA on the cabcar. You can also hear the MP36 K5LA at 0:38 .

CoasterFan2105 3 years ago

All Metra Cab Cars have K5LA

ThuaTaurn07 3 years ago

No, they do not. The UP Milwaukee like cabs and a few others have K5LA's but ALL other Metra cabs have K3LA's. You can tell by the sound too. And if you look on the roof, you can see that it is a 3 chime horn.

CoasterFan2105 3 years ago

If thats the case its the other way around, every single metra cab car I have seen has a K5LA

ThuaTaurn07 3 years ago

Dude, trust me, LOOK ON TOP! It is a3 chime horn. LISTEN to the sound. All cabs on this line have K3's as do the ones on the BNSF line and several others.

CoasterFan2105 3 years ago

Right, I completly think this is a K3LA in this video but...Every single cab car I have seen , weather on the UP, BNSF, Milwaukee...etc has a K5LA. Great video tho
