2 Amtrak cascades meet north of sumner at 26.4x

[robertgift]

Always show the crossing?

If some moron gets hit, you will have captured it on video.

[Labratoria]

Specially-shaped, fine sound! :) ♥

[modemeyes]

Liked & Fav'd. Thanks..........Mike

[jslasher1]

That is what we in Australia call 'a great cross'.

[roweman2]

are the cars behind the engines just for aerodynamic purpose or is it just to look good? or is there another reason?

[trainman1537]

What's tgat car behind the engines



[NWguy83]

Man I wish we had Acela up here.

[CoastStarlight11]

Surfliner engine on the cascades train!!! Nice catch!!!

[soyelchechu]

Talgo alive! Spain alive !!!!!

[QuickBurn70]

That sounded like a K5HL on the second train, with 461 pushing?? Great catch! Now, if only we could see a Cascades loco pulling a Surfliner...

[LongJohnGamer]

good catch!

[bigfootrsbuddy123]

What was F59PHI 461 doing that far north?

[gevoman1]

Surfliner F59PHI's may be callled if one of their locos are not working

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

Thanks!

[hotcore5312]

I just can't understand one thing about the cabbage cars on the Cascades trains. How can they have a horn if they don't have an engine to produce power for the horn?

[bigfootrsbuddy123]

The wheels generate power to operate them. The F59PHI also sends similar currents to the control F40PH.

[hotcore5312]

Ah. thanks. I guess even 'scrap-metal' locomotives can come in handy.

[stevekatkus]

They are not cabbage cars. There is no storage compartments,I think they are only HEP and control cab cabable.

Son 2 trenes Amtrak con coches españoles TALGO. Suspensión basculante, con gran confort en curvas.

[EverywhereWest]

Wow I didn't realize some of the cabbages had K5HL horns...that's the same horn on GEVO's, right? Anyway, great video!

[theUP844]

yes That is the same horn as the horn on the GEVO's.

[kd7tqn]

Most Definably not

[theUP844]

It sure sounded like one though.

[socalrailfanner]

Yeah, I know that for sure. Check out my BNSF video with the GEVO in it. They sound almost exactly the same, just the GEVO has it tuned deeper very slightly.

[kd7tqn]

yes, the gevo's have a lower sound for one simple reason, they have different bells on it. K5HL's have Bells 1l, 1, 2, 3, 4 and the H in the K5HL stands for high manifold, k5la's have 1, 2, 3a, 4a, 5 on them with a Low manafold. the one on the amtrak is a k5LA because its a low manafold and produces some of the higher tones then the HL does.

[mark10788]

Great Catch kd! you Caught a F59PHI with A GREAT K5LA!

[kd7tqn]

that deffinantly is not a K5HL, its just a poorly maintained K5LA

[socalrailfanner]

That is a nice K5HL horn on the F40. Nice with the Surfliner unit. 5 Stars for sure.

[Surflliner458]

do you know what number that surfy was?

[socalrailfanner]

On my computer it shows up as HD. Yeah. . . HD!!!! But anyway, I got very close 2 the screen and saw it was 461.

[hotcore5312]

Where can i get a rain guard like yours for my camera?

[piktrains]

Good video. Nice catch.

[BNSFKING]

cool meet and a surfliner engine. Great shot!
