A Great Night Of Railfanning In St Catharines

I would head down to the station for the third night in a row. This one would be better than the other two though. First off, Via 98/Amtrak 63's P42DC would have an E-bell which is quite rare. I would also get a horn salute. Nice crew! For Via 95, everything was normal, except that it was 19 minutes late. 18 minutes later, CN 330 would pass through with great power, CN 8844 and BCOL 4652.

Nice vid! It's not very often that you see an Amtrak P42DC with an e-bell.

[RailfanDaniel]

Thanks! Yep, apparently more and more Amtrak P42DC's are ending up with E-bell's though. I have a feeling that soon all Amtrak P42DC's will have E-bell's. I will be very unhappy if that happens though. I really like the older machanical bell as well.

Great Video! I caught 91 twice, I was confused too! I didnt think an AMTK P42's had E-Bells, 91 has been stuck on the Maple Leaf for a while

E-Bell! Yes!

You know it's funny I didn't notice it was an e-bell on that amtrak until I listened very closely. It kind of does sound like the original.

[GenesisSanctuary]

Hmm, I wonder why they're replacing mechanical bells with e-bells? Odd. Well, it's a good thing I really like e-bells.:)
