Shave And A Haircut Perfectly Done K5LA Style

[yTurnbullTrain]

what rote was this

[Pompadour123]

go train's bombardier cars are diffenent from other bombardier cars.... and the k5la sounds like AMTRAK!! :)

[reaperexpress]

@Pompadour123 The bilevels that GO buys are no more unique than any other agency's. It's just that GO has been buying bilevels for so long that they also have many older versions that other cities don't have.

[Pompadour123]

@reaperexpress i could see that tri rail has these kind of bombardier cars and the go transit cab car has 6 lights.. regular bombardier cars like metrolink have 4 go train go train looks like a spider lol

[tonytbn]

One of the best, if not the best "Shave And A Haircut" on youtube...nice...

[metraF40PH163]

NIce horn show!

[digthewho]

DIG THE WHO

[lailasalas]

This is also my favorite Canadian train along with VIA

[Surfliner6908]

What station and line is this?

[StCatharinesRailFan8]

@Surfliner6908 Aldershot Station, in Burlington, Ontario. This is the Canadian National Railway (CN) Oakville Subdivison

[Surfliner6908]

@StCatharinesRailFan8 thank you

[cweis127]

This locomotive is a LOT better than those F59PHI's. Those were (and are) EMD's biggest mistake ever!

[Surfliner6908]

I wish I could favorite this again and again and again!

[SubaruB4RSK]

@Surfliner6908

haha so do I! that's the cleaning clearest sounding K5LA i've heard doing a shave and a haircut

[OntarioRails1]

I talked to this engineer last night when he was driving in the cab car to Burlington. He was telling us about how he found the video, and read some of the comments on the video:P He thought it was interesting how much people were into it, lol. He seemed like a fun hogger.

[buswizard]

I can see the bell!

[CityFolk120]

Wouldn't it be ironic if the engineers were bald? "A shave and a haircut" DX

[nf1002]

Good show by the engineer.

[ReverbZero]

Only GO would do that. They're more friendlier than CN. :P

Nice vid.

[g4tech]

amen to that

every single time i ride the go train i walk the length of the train and sit in the cabcar if its in Push mode and make a video every single crew has not had any problems with me filming and most smile and even say hey your making a video  cool

a lot will also wave/honk at me as they leave

the CSA's on the other hand are nice but some are not as nice as the Engineer/Conductor

[coolguy676]

@ReverbZero No wayyyy! CN Is wayyyy more friendlyer

[ReverbZero]

@coolguy676 The only time I've seen CN be friendly is this one guy I knew in Edmonton who let me ride with a GMD1 a bit around the yard. Most of the other people of power in most yards are way too official and won't let a kid even watch from a distance.

Meanwhile, CP gave me a free trip on the 2816 and a shitload of merchandise...

[railroadradio]

nice one...

[metroliner89]

Nice BUT THE TRAIN IS SOOOO LONG!

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks. GO usually runs about 12 cars & 1 engine. However I have seen GO with 2 engines

[g4tech]

@metroliner89 Longest Commuter trains in North America if im not mistaken

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Wow.. AMAZING K5LA!

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks a lot! GO has some of the best K5LA's

[Lifty4ever]

@LocalRailfan well the new mp40s r being upgraded to nathan m5 which sounds not terrible but doesnt suit a transit train

[Train538]

Agreed! 5 billion stars!!!!!

[LocalRailfan]

Thanks a lot for the great comment....

[Train538]

My plessure!

[zink444]

not the best

[flexspinner]

nice !!

[o0O0oK5LAo0O0o]

OH fuck yes shave and harcut on a glorious K5LA!!! I creamed my pants

[NSwannabeEngineer]

LOL!

[BSchoon55]

Nice vid., how can that thing push that many cars? I know over at Metrolink I think they only can have a max 6 cars per engine.

[LocalRailfan]

I don't know, the newer GO engines have over 4000 HP so GO has quite powerful loco's, even these older unit's are strong.

[mjet401bnsf]

cnw that is

[mjet401bnsf]

dang for a second i thought that was 4160

[LocalRailfan]

To bad it wasn't, that would've been awesome!

[guitarguy940]

I dont get it... what do you mean by shave and a haircut??

[LocalRailfan]

A Shave and a Haircut is a sequence of 7 short horn blasts to the classic tune Shave and a haircut, 2 bits. At 0:58 you can here the train engineer do a S&H on the horn.

[coolguy676]

i was here to

[0verload]

Nice! I'm putting an airhorn in my daily driver (my van) it's actually a truckers horn/utility horn from the late 70's but it sounds like a train horn, maybe a few DB's less, but still really really loud! I'll do shave and a hair cut for you when I finish installing it in a few days :)

[juvmol]

also favorite!

[DungeonStudio]

He's got my 2 bits. LOL Wish MSTS had quicker horn action. My keyboard has a piano keyboard built in, and I still can't do that with my trains. :(

A really good engineer can play The 5th Of Beethoven with the doppler effect. LOL

[LocalRailfan]

Nice man. Try the Trainz game, you can do a shave and a haircut on that! I love the doppler effect and that would be really cool to hear the 5th of Beethoven on a train horn! I have more videos of cool horn salutes if you are into that kind of stuff.

[gotransitf59ph]

nice video!
