Westbound Metrolink #2

This is a video of a Metrolink train traveling to Los Angeles from San Bernardino, California. Taken July, 2007. The pushing engine is an EMD F59PHI that was built in 1994, 1995, or 2001. The engine was built in Canada. The cars are Bombardier that could have been built in Province Quebec. The engine is one of Metrolink's newest engines.

What Kind of horns do metrolinks use?

[dekfungton]

They mostly use "P2"s but sometimes you can find K5LAs mixed in as part of leased sets or maybe on a engine (if you're very lucky).

West bound from where fool? gotta name?

[dekfungton]

No problem. :) Did you ever have a time to download that .wav file? How did you get a cab view on an Amtrak? That must've been awesome!

[ct92404]

Yeah, I knew it was a typo. :)

Thanks for the info! I'm going to see if I can download a .WAV recording of a K5LA horn now! I have a really nice video from the locomotive cab on an Amtrak train in San Diego. But I have it burned on a cd somewhere...don't feel like digging it up right now. lol

*I meant to say the horn that Amtrak uses is nice*

[dekfungton]

The Metrolink bells do have a certain sound to them that makes them sound different. The horns are sometimes dirty, I've heard that they aren't cleaned all the time, leaving them high pitched. The horn that Amtrak is nice, some Metrolink trains actually have them installed, but they don't always use them! The horn that Amtrak uses is a K5LA. Thank you for your comment!

I love the bell on the Metrolink trains, especially on the cab car. But I never really did care too much for the horns...they're a little too high pitched and kind of annoying. I like the horns on Amtrak locomotives better. I'm not sure what kind of horns Amtrak uses though!
