Great Horn Salutes By Amtrak

In this video you will see 7 clips where Amtrak engineers greet my dad and I with horn honking, waving, and headlight flashing. All footage was taken in Central Florida of Amtrak's Silver Service trains during 2001 through 2002.

00:29 Maitland, FL. Horn Salute & engineer flashes main head light (independent from ditch lights)
01:19 Orlando, FL "Shave & a Haircut, 2 bits"
02:26 Longwood, FL.
02:48 Longwood FL.
03:31 & 04:39 Winter Park, FL. [train was recorded twice in the same day]

2:47 a School bus is kinda driving around the barrier arms or it was caught while they we're lowering (in any case he should have stopped upon hearing the bells)

Normal practise over there?

[WhistlepostWP]

he didn't drive around the gates....they were still coming down....and it was just bad driving...you'll find those anywhere...

VERY GREAT VID I WATCH IT EVERYDAY!!!

[dynamics1997]

i like the fact that you let us see most of the train before switching scenes...something lacking with most rail videographers

Can I please jump in your video and enjoy being a child again. Sad thing about this video is the fact that all those M bells have prob been replaced by E bells now
