Hey I was wondering what is up with the SDIY line that runs late at night after the trolley service ends. I live near the lemon grove station and hear it late at night passing the level crossing. Does anyone know any information about it? I've looked around the Internet and there isn't much info on it.
Nice video Nando! Looks cool! Gosh, Coaster has to have some of the worst K5LA's. The loco's are ok but a lot of the cabcars are all weezy and fouled. Metrolink's K5's are better. Good video again, nevertheless.
The reason they don't sound that good is because the engineer is quilling the horn. Since the cabcars have a pull string that activates the horn, they have the ability to do that. All seven locomotives have push buttons which makes it harder to quill them.
@AMTK510 I do admit that my camera at the moment sucks but as far as the SDNR cab car the horn did sound like shit. Its a new enginner. he told me that he is still getting used to quilling the horn using the pullcords
Great catch of the SDIY Gensets!

It's obviously his sound quality. It seems rather poor.

@AMTK510 His sound quality on his camera has nothing to do with how crappy the cabcar horns are.
