What the heck is an E-Bell doing on a P42!?!

AWESOME VID!! I love the view behind the p42. great job.

Awesome catches of the P42s, doubleheader HHP-8s, and the Corridor Clipper!! 5 million stars! Excellent horn action too! And also, nice catch of my favorite Acela set at the very beginning with the right power unit leading! (2034-2032)

thanks i plan to put the pics on photobucket and railpics

[Train538]

I look foward to seeing them! Oh I forgot to say that it's terrible that Amtrak is installing E-Bells on their P42s. I like the E-Bells but on the Genesis series locos, not so much considering (in my opinion) they have the best original bells around. I'm just lucky Metro-North & SLE aren't doing this with their P32s & P40s.

@acelaboy123 I guess that would make sense about the bells. Althought a regular bell sounds good (I like both personally) an E-bell would cut down on repairs.

what kind of camera did you use

[suisseligue]

i hate that fucking bell grrrrr they must buy something new cause this is old like usa :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

Whats p42 doing between New York and Boston?

[5292Nate]

@acelaboy123 Yeah, Besides that, they're louder, more annoying and they seem to grab more attention!

[MrZkr123]

@Train538 i get why u don't like them and trust me i like the regular bells but i bet from a maintenance personal perspective its one less part to fix

[monica012077]

the closeup of 106 in motion was awesome, great video, what was the last train with the stripes you took a pic of?

[MrZkr123]

@Train538 but from a maintinence perspective i love it even though i do personally love the real bell sounds

[MrZkr123]

@mjsax2390 they can go 110 which is still pretty good for a diesel

[amtrak710123]

NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
