Squealing K5LA on F59PHI #2012 which powers an early Amtrak #711

This was the departure of the Amtrak San Joaquin #711 with F59PHI #2012 on the point! The unit had a squealing K5LA as the train left. Captured by amtrakboy627 on 4-10-09. Enjoy, rate, favorite, and comment. :-)

I heard that the F59PHI can go up to the top speed of 125 MPH, with 3 of these coach cars, but the tracks can't handle the weight of this train that speed, I've heard that people were talking about maximizing the amtrack speed up to 100.

Thanks for watching!

good shot, the F59PHI has to be the coolest looking passenger locomotive ever.
