Well, it was an exciting day, I get to catch Amtrak Cascades Train #513 with a surprise on the consist. Amtrak F59PHI Surfliner #454 is leading the train with Cabbage F40 90253 trailing. The Train was running about 5 minutes late and departed about 8 minutes late due to a passenger that need a wheelchair ramp. Enjoy the video.

Also, I've been taking pictures of this train for Railpictures.net and was lucky enough to add 1 image in. Click on the link to see it: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=271780&nseq=0

  • 454 sounds so much better when you're not on the train. i have riden behind 454 before, and the horn on 454 sucks when you're inside the train, but it sounds better when you're filming it outside the train.

  • Why can't amtrak cascades have 2 F-59PHI's on both sides, it would look so much better

  • i just love the F59PHI k5la's there so commanding like get out of my way or i WILL hit you!

  • Hey Andrew. Could you help me make an opening like yours?

  • Very nice!

  • I always love the F59PHI horns! The squeal!

  • Nice one Andrew! Surfliner engines always have awsome K5LAs.

  • haha. That bird in the beggining almost got hit
