[childofgod140]

Ahhh nothing like the sound of a train horn. Nice and loud :)

[Rodakgreen]

I just put a set of train horns on my pick up, strange how everyone likes them on a train but not when I blow mine. lol.

[NICKSmyNAMEbitch]

[MICKTHEMERC]

[megs905]

nice Salute!

[dirtman119]

WOW! very loud

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@dirtman119 Yeah, awesome aint it

[xtearfulxstarx]

Will never get tired of hearing the sound of a train, whether it be the horn or the sound it makes as it goes along the tracks. My friend used to live right next to some tracks that were very busy. We could see the tracks and crossing from her house. One night we slept outside and I must have woken to a train at least 7 times and each time it was still dark outside. Absolutely amazing.

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@xtearfulxstarx Same here! :-) I just love it!

[8747csx]

Thats the best K5LA that I've ever heard on a CSX SD70MAC.

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@8747csx Agreed.

[Zmaczimum]

Are all four locos running at one time or are the others backup incase the leading loco breaks down?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@Zmaczimum Just the lead two engines were running. The others are dead-in-tow.

[coashddjj2]

Oh man, that horn...awesome. You've made a railfan junkie very, very happy. I've watched I don't know how many train videos on Youtube now, but I'm of the opinion that the very best ones come out of Folkston.

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@coashddjj2 Thanks :-)

[rokenbok54]

0:34 "LAY DOWN THAT HORN MAN!!! VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR VERRR VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!­!"

[hsxtcqm]

Good video. Is Folkston the same place where they have built a train spotter's paradise kinda station? one where you can sit and browse and even record the movement of the trains?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@hsxtcqm Thanks. Yes Folkston is the place.

[pznerd]

What camera did you film this with.

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@pznerd Panasonic JVC GZ-MG37U

[Sunclief]

Thanks I was really enjoying that! then you just ended it! Now I know how my wife feels!

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@Sunclief I have uploaded the full version, the link is in the video response.

[hsxtcqm]

@Sunclief Well said! great comparison!

[MrMichael1701]

[AmtrakSilverStar]

I have posted a video response to the full version. Check it out :-)

[trnfan1]

[AmtrakSilverStar]

[AmtrakSilverStar]

I have posted a video response to the full version. Check it out :-)

[AmtrakSilverStar]

Thanks. Sorry for the length, this was one of my first videos, and was still getting used to my camcorder :-)

[Baileygeep7]

I see you are a big horn and bell fan, otherwise why stop it at 54 seconds.

[AmtrakSilverStar]

I have posted a video response to the full version. Check it out :-)

[Railfan108]

why?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

Met a couple of Southbounds before she can cross over.

[Railfan108]

NOW THAT IS LAHSUP!!!!!!!!

[AmtrakSilverStar]

I concur.

[dukeman2106]

nice horn!

[generfeld]

wouldnt it be cool if the horns for all the locos could be MU'd too? 3 K5LAs going at once?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

lol, I conquer.

[nggaplz]

you conquer?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

yeah, like "I agree". I think thats the word.

[KSE828]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you know the first two engines only are providing power?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

I spoke with the crew while it was stopped.

[FlyBikes089]

Great video, Add-Favorite, and 5 rate (thumb up)!!!!

[NSSD80MAC7202]

great one!

[CSX5851]

damn thats a nice k5la.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

are there 4 or 5 engines powering this train?

[AmtrakSilverStar]

Just the 2 lead motors (SD70ACs) provided power, the other 3 trailing motors were deadheads.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

o i didnt know that thanks for telling me

[AmtrakSilverMeteor]

Nice horn! what type?

[NickyVeee]

Nathan K5LA

[Xxolivia333xX]

he was going over the crossing thats why he did the long horn.. if you look closely you can see the plateform there

[Serzyere]

Them frieght trains scare me when they go passed reaaaly faaast!!

[acelakid94]

excellent quality video.

[chefjavier]

What's up with the long horn>>>>>

[jangalomph]

mabey doing it for the rail franner =P

[jangalomph]

or the button could have been stuck :P

[ChessieStorm]

There's about 3-4 crossings really close together in Folkston, which means long horns for all trains coming through -- slow or fast.

[SantaFe5811]

Its rules that every crossing unless in a quiet zone, the engineer must sound the horn - long - long - short -long. Tradition shows us that the last long typically is held down until the crossing, which is the case in this video.

[doeboyfresssh18]

really likes to lay on his horn. very nice.

good catch on this one AmtrakSilverStar. too fi right there.

[ChanFram]

amazing!

[trnfan1]

would have been nice to hear and see the train accelerate all the way

[AmtrakSilverStar]

@trnfan1 The full video is in the video response below.

[quombee]

very nice horning

[russell379x]

uhhhhhhhhh nice horn holy crap the best one ive herd in a long time

[CR6479]

no its an SD60I or SD60M is the leader and second unit.

[Train9632W]

You may be right but it is sorta hard to tell from that angle..

[AmtrakSilverStar]

No, they're both SD70MACs. The lead is #750, second is #767, followed by dead SD40-2s #8440, #8370 and GCFX #3069. I have a related video of the power passing and the whole train, but I have yet to compress it to lower than 100MB.

[trains91]

awesome

[Train9632W]

Nice sounding K5LA on that SD70MAC...Loud and blasty..lol
