Must See!!! Amtrak 785 with Emergency Red Light Flashing.

As 785 rolls into Simi Valley, the emergency red light(right side of screen as train is exiting the screen)was flashing. This is rare and I've never seen this before. Please rate, comment and subscribe. Thanks

What was the F59PHI? It sounds like a 454, 455, or 459.

There is a toggle switch on the lower councle to manually turn the light on. Or it is flashing wth the train is in emergency.

Do you mean: THE FLASHING STROBE LIGHT NEXT TO THE ENGINE'S LOWER LEFT LIGHT? Why not simply state that?

@reatard024 Emergency brake and air brakes on the train are all the same system, the E-brake just dumps all the air out of the system and puts the brakes into full application.

@csxES44DC I don't know for sure on the F59's , but on the F40's there was a three position switch on the upper right side of the control stand that had a off, white strobe, red strobe setting. On the Crescent in the 80's they used to run the red strobe going south and white going north when they came through where I lived.

they probably got done smashing into another idiot who doesn't know what it means when the gates go down and they forgot to turn the light off
