[Kman781]

I wanna do that if i become an engineer!

[DJGENEX71]

Pretty interesting huh? I thought it was broke when I first heard him doing that! lol.

[josephkennith]

neat

[DJGENEX71]

Was interesting for sure!

[HamiltonOhrailz]

pretty neat

[HamiltonOhrailz]

Wow How the heck did he do that? it sounds better like that in my opinion

[DJGENEX71]

Lightly holding the button for the horn.

[tipdrip215]

that gave me chills

[DJGENEX71]

Thanks for the comment, it was different for sure!

[tipdrip215]

yep...sounded like music in a horror film lol...what time was this?

[DJGENEX71]

Around 8:15-8:30pm. Before the sun started staying brighter in the evenings.

[tipdrip215]

ohh pretty skyline as a background for this though

[trains91]

that is some good horn action

[DJGENEX71]

When I filmed it, I thought it was broken or something! lol.

That happened to me when I railfanned at Fullerton. An Amtrak engineer saw waving railfans and hit the horns at half blast so people around will not get scared.

[DJGENEX71]

Humm, that's interesting, you'd think he'd put on a show for them!

[BoredTrucker1902]

Not really. It is in a station and there are a significant amount of people.

[DJGENEX71]

Oh I got ya, wouldn't want to rip their heads off with some full blasts!

[BoredTrucker1902]

Hahaha! With their powerful K5LAs, they can make some old guy gets a heart attack! Then Amtrak will get sued, then they have to shut down, then... well you get my point, right?

[trainzrok]

he was quilling it, some engineers do that

[DJGENEX71]

What's that? Like holding the handle just a little bit?

[trainzrok]

yeah, lightly holding the button

[Cchrisbud813]

Is there any purpose in that besides entertaining the onlookers? It sounds pretty neat.
