@bmxboy2468 Because it's the USA regulations...? XD

the flux of the airflow from the passing train makes the train shake when a stop train is accelerating. so they go slow to avoid it.. (also to avoid injuries) it only happens when they are leaving a station. and the trains do go more than 20mph. they usually go about 90 actually.

E60MA #'s 600 610 620and 621 had k5la's on at least one side of the locomotives towards the end of their career

Neat hearing a K5LA on an E60. Just my guess, but it was probably cheaper for Amtrak to replace a worn out P01235 horn rather than rebuild it; especially since the K5LA was and still is readily available. Good to know that at least one E60 will be preserved.

The only E60 to receive K5LA's on both ends was #610; and, I think she was fitted with them in either late 1998, or early 1999.
