On Wednesday April 20th 2011, I took a little ride on the Coaster Train. I rode on Coaster #648 from Sorrento Valley to San Diego, but only filmed from Old Town to the final stop of San Diego. There are 11 grade crossings from Old Town to San Diego, it's a nice stretch of track to hear some K5LA action!! I sat in Cabcar #2301 which was leading the train south. Okay horn on #2301, better than some but not as good as a few. We passed Amtrak #775 at Hawthorn St, which had Cabcar #6951 leading. Enjoy the video!!

  • The engineer doesn't know how to use the horn

  • @DouglasP201 Not too good huh? I'll take it though, there are a lot of engineers on the Coaster who blow it weaker than that. At least this guy does a little more than just quill

  • I sort of like the other side view better when on Amtrak or the Coaster

  • @sagestats Really? I like this side, it has the ocean and a good shot of the San Diego skyline

  • I really enjoyed this video Chris! Great job! Coaster #2310 just got out of the shop a couple weeks ago and it has a fairly good K5LA, but it used to have the most amazing K5LA a couple years ago. Again, great video!

  • @SDRailfan Thanks, this was cabcar 2301...Coaster #2310 was pretty nice back in the day but not as good as 02, 03, 07

  • @AmtrakCal462 i totally agree...i get so irritated when they blow it weak.

  • he did a shave and a haircut when passing 775

  • HOLY.... I was in Old Town on Wednesday. I only get to go to California once a year and San Diego was the destination this year and we decided to go to Old Town that day. Lots of trains use that station everyday.
