They should have done the same with AEM7

And that they still retain Hybrid K5LA! 😎😁

It’s the only thing left to Hybrid K5LA 😢 it can’t leave

kaz i find u again

​@@jakejackle9125 Those would have been too old. Most of them are scrapped now.

If only the Avelia Liberty had a K5LA. Especially a hybrid.

​@@ForTofersSakehigh pitched noises are better hearable from further distances so that horn is better than a K5LA for safety

Sounds so European. LOVE IT!

@@ForTofersSakeI hate the fact it has that single tone euro horn. Awful sounding here

@@goldenstateaviation2861aye listen we can’t complain. We got every US Horn in the world, if we complain about one train, we are dicks. In addition, if you have an extreme pro quilling it, I consider it nearly an R160B or like some subway metro.

Yeah w/ no headlights

Why was it like that?

Dark Souls bosses be like

Like a shark in the ocean...

@@TerminalBAviation because I believe the Liberties don't have a dim function on the headlights. I think it's something they're going to add in software. Usually when trains pass each other they dim the lights so they don't blind the other driver, but since they can't dim them they just turn them off I guess. If you keep watching right when the train passes the station they come back on.

Amtrak new toy.

The ghost train of the Northeast Corridor

Some engineers (usually freight) as a courtesy, turn their headlights off at night for a few seconds as they're approaching a train coming on the opposite track. More common years ago.

MARC still uses theirs on rush hour trains

Yeah, wasn’t expecting that lol

Transit was probably like wtf 😂The

Spoopy sneaking out of the darkness like that.

I hope that the FRA doesn't see that

Middle track so not a big deal in terms of safety @@StefanWithTrains3222

It’ll be use on the Keystone service the hhp-8c and avelia liberty will be in service later this year

The HHP-8s are going to replace the old Metroliner cab cars on Keystones and the Ethan Allen Express.

EAX does not have overhead wires

It's a cab car now so the diesel at the other end will do the work.@@jorgegaston5391

Read the title again.

Almost every weeknight at this point. They’re out right now in fact.

Im fine with it here and there but if they start replacing every horn with a european horn then its gonna be a problem

Anything other than those damn European horns ! Maybe not a K5 variant but even a 3 chime would be better.

Sometime this year or 2025

Late this year will be the EIS.

Dangerous! The train will going to be crash or derailment. Traindriver is not thinking! Hey, driver, SHOULD PUT THE LIGHT ON. Why they wasn't brain to wake up?!!.. (Oh, jeez!!) 😖

​​@@peterdeutscher1442You don't see that another train is in front, braking so as not to disturb the driver, I turn off the lights -__-.

There is a problem of the train went wrong! Traindriver actives without lights is cause serious accidents going to be derailments or powerful crash!... (Oh my goodness, here we go!!) 😨😖

Because day traffic is pretty busy.

So they don’t get in the way of revenue traffic

occasionally

Amtrak doesn’t have any of the AEM-7s left unfortunately.

if we wanted to reach speeds that high we would have to build high speed rail. the northeast corridor is the best amtrak’s got in terms of speed and efficiency and even those rails can’t handle 225

Yes the United States of America should of had highspeed bullet train technology decades ago. These new trains were designed by Aston in Europe, a county that holds the record for fastes train on rail. But here in the so called mighty United States of America, you know, the country that can put a man on the moon to jump around and pick up rocks at a cost of billions, can't achieve highspeed bullet train technology which is also, (fully electric) and one of the reasons why is because americans are blind and stupid to this technology which causes negativity. Don't believe me? Look at your own remarks. The United States governments are idiots. I know you're american but atleast try to visualize this.. Exsample, i make the 831 mile trip from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida 3 times a year. Traveling through the night when everyone is home and out of my way, it takes me 11.5 to 12.5 hours to drive or 13.5 to 14.5 by EV. If there was a bullet line that spanned the entire United States Eastern seaboard from Boston Massachusetts to Jacksonville Florida, stopping in one city in each state it travels through, i could board in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and be in Jacksonville Florida in 4 to 6 hours and all at 200 plus mph and not a ripple on your martinis. I could board in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and be in New York city in 20 minutes and go to work and still be home in time for supper. You could move millions of americans up and down the entire United States Eastern seaboard with great comfort. Did you ever sit in that i-95 traffic? Or be one out of thousands of people who sit stranded at airports due to cancellations and delays during the holidays and travel seasons year after year? This would would free up some of this. But you're an American. You will never see it. But the next time you're in traffic, think of this alternative which your mighty United States of America dosent have. Like i said, come on Amtrak, push the pedal down harder. Highspeed bullet trains and maglev super train technology, the new american dream....

Lol

Amtrak doesn't need 70 sprinters to make service. There are more sprinters than there were HHP8s and AEM7s combined

Can you re-write your comment in english? If im understanding you, then i will explain to you that the train was on the middle track and therefore didnt need to be seen as clearly

@@lalakerspro Dane's father: Why?? Would you need to wake up? Thank you.

There were talks about repearing to HHP-8's to running condition with a lower gearing seat up for MOW trains. I don't know if it is happening anymore.

... not dangerous in the least. If it was, they wouldn't do it.

Agreed. Was hoping they’d keep maybe one or 2 sets with the euro horn, but leave the rest with regular US spec horns.

Are they really euro horns if you know?

What’s the matter with euro horns? and they sounded fine to me.

@@Robbie_Przno they’re single Nathan bells. I believe 2 and 4

​@@ethancampbell6076Americans don't understand horns for some reason.

^talk about an uninformed opinion...

found the zero clue guy

Idk what they were thinking when they made the passenger cars not line up with the power cars, and why are they using a euro horn, we have the best horns

They were made by Alstom which is a European company so expect a different design when you ask a European company to make a train for the USA. Maybe ask General Motors next time

@@TrainspotterBarn2984Alstom made the original Acela as well in collaboration with Bombardier. The horn is just the result of Amtrak management trying to “be more European” because they think that will draw in more riders.

Im fine with the european look, but not the wack sounding horn

The use of articulated trucks under the cars is a big mistake. If there is one major problem with ONE car then the ENTIRE train is out of service. That is beyond STUPID ! People in the area will have issues with those horns, too. In this country I bet not many people will recognize the sound, hence it's a safety issue.
