AMTK 400 West Pick up stop

Looks like no one was getting on this one, probably waiting for the eastbounder that came a few minutes after 400 left

@doubleutubefan5 I wish I could, but my camcorder died late last year and I havent been able to record, or even play back any videos I have.

Old term used for a "continue" or "proceed" back from the days of when they used a Ball on a pole indicating "OK To proceed"

Cool Video! I liked the annotations!

Thanks! In the future I may squeeze some voice acting out of my friends, heh. Maybe even for some TAA episodes when a Passenger train arrives at a station as the freight passes. Question, is the lighting better in here than in previous videos?

Nice! Just a suggestion, this sounds like a QSI decoder. It it is the uploadable version, consider changing the horn sounding to either a Nathan K5La or Nathan P5 as these were the horns used by the Amtrak F40PH. A wacky suggestion: When making a vid like this; after the train stops, pause or stop the camera, and little by little move the passengers towards the cars and film each position for 3 seconds. Then remove the passengers from the scene to make it look like they're actually onboard :-)

@RailLane3

From the 1800's to some turest lines today, there is a pole with a ball on a chain hanging from it. When the ball was raised, it ment basicly a green light. when it was down, it ment stop. they were used mainly @ diamonds (where to tracks crossed together) and are still used today. Although most of them went out in the 1930's/
