Amtrak 48 Lake Shore Limited - Hamburg, NY - 8/21/09

First post in quite awhile! An almost on time Lake Shore Limited passes by Cloverbank Road in Hamburg, NY before passing by the Bayview fault detector at Rogers Road at 72mph on 8/21/09. Enjoy the horns at these two crossings while you can; they are slated to become "quiet zone" crossings by the end of 2010.

If they make crossings Quiet zones it would not be safe. Cars at the crossings have to know a train is comming.

I agree. Taking away one of the two ways to detect a train coming doesn't make any sense. If people living near the tracks don't want to hear train horns, then they shouldn't have bought a home near a set of busy train tracks!

Awesome vid. I was gonna get up and film it but I slept in. I guess that's what I get for facebooking at 1 am. Can't wait for more!

Great Video! Its been ontime a lot lately, but when I was on it on the 19th it was over one hour late

[sasilv1129]

Thanks! It's always late when you need to be on it. I want desperately to ride 48 to Buffalo so I can see Hamburg by train and shoot the crossings from the perspective of the train.

Awesome vid, that horn sounds so good in the distance, approaching, up close and passing. That's what I call a real high ball, they were not playing at all lol.
