[Canesfan7012]

no wonder the picture is so good lol

[Canesfan7012]

waht kind of camera do you use I use an Canon Powershot A530

[amtrak101]

I use a Kodak EasyShare CX7430.

[Canesfan7012]

Have they recently run 1792

[amtrak101]

Haven't seen it

[Canesfan7012]

The 1792 might have an Nathan P3 I dunno search railfan90 and he has a clip with 1792

[amtrak101]

The 1792 has a perfectly tuned K5LA on it.

[Canesfan7012]

csxES44DC 1768 has dissapeared and I havn't seen them use the GP40-2 #1792 in service lately Ive seen it up in the yard they must use it for switching well I guess the F59PH has more power than an GP40-2

[amtrak101]

What happened to #1768?

[amtrak101]

I don't think the GP40s are running anymore. If you have a video of either #1792 or #1768 I could tell you.

[Canesfan7012]

The ditch lights were bright

[Canesfan7012]

Post it Id like to see it! when its done

[darthfurious80]

man NC trains are sooooo much better than the crappy Michigan Amtrak trains I have to live with (ugh, thanks Granholm and CN).

[Canesfan7012]

when does the 1755 pulling into the station clip come in?

[amtrak101]

I guess I could add it... but like I mentioned, it is unfinished.

[goldeneagle2007]

Uh oh. Looks like that second car wishes it were a horse!

[amtrak101]

lol

[amtrak101]

Ahhhh ok.

[amtrak101]

Well..... I have an unfinished video of the 1755 pulling into the station. It filmed just long enough for the horn to blow. The horn sounds like a Nathan K5LA.

[Canesfan7012]

what kind is it a nathan or what on 1797?

[amtrak101]

I'm not sure.

[amtrak101]

Yeah, but 1755 has a much nicer sounding horn.

[Canesfan7012]

I heard the horn on 1797 a couple of times way cool

[BRIANamtrak]

he says that to every1 even me(uh tripod please uh)

[amtrak101]

I'm sorry. I'm still using my digital picture camera to shoot videos. But I have a tripod. Don't expect any shakiness on my next video.

[amtk019]

Tripod, please.

[amtrak101]

Thank you. Very typical on an EMD F59PHI.

[BobWeaver112]

nice engine and bell sounds
