Train horns exist for a reason and yet cities everywhere enact quiet zones even though many drivers nationwide fail to yield to a train. It should be a law for crossings to have quadrant gates to allow for quiet zones.

As a local railfan I completely agree Not to mention a a distinct K5 LA on the GE P40DC

They should have a horn sequence specially made for Railfanners

Love train s ❤. The horn is so bad ass !!

The Amtrak has lots of K5LAs like CSX and NS do! Amtrak goes fast in most places!

I'm glad Amtrak covered this considering the SDP40s had some of the prettiest horns I've ever heard. The Leslie SL4T.

I wish old train horns returned. Truck horns don't sound like that anymore. :(

There's alot of train horns out there, some can even make whatever company the train's from recognizable, like for example: the Leslie S3K and RS3K. The Original Pre-BNSF Merger Burlington Northern "Greens" had very awesome S3Ks/RS3Ks so if you hear an RS3K, it might be one of them! Another one is the Nathan P3 from Southern Pacific.

Reason one: crossing grades without gates. Especially if it's a family late for church! Almost every crossing-grade accident caused by drivers: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Facts 💯

Train: *honk honk* Signal box UP LN: *ding ding* Signal box DN LN : *ding ding* (Sets dial "train online")

Yall should add emergency horn LOL

up still has a active steam locomotive

2:35 Who else agrees?

Yes it's called secret communication 😅

Put a classic K5LA one of those new Chargers, we all know it’s possible 😭

Hey Amtrak, how come you guys repainted P42DC #184 to phase 5 and not keep it phase 4? (Also I never saw so I’m sad😕)

Train horns exist because they're fuckin cool (I know that's not the actual reason don't worry)

It hurts my brain so much 😭 thanks it's so soothing

I rode on a Amtrak Aleca express

0:01 amtrak sd40-2

Why not after the invention of the multi-chime horn, it should be called a whistle, because, it’s to distinguish from a truck horn?

train horns dont need to be blown in cities at all, none, there are guards and lights warning ppl, an if someone is on tracks its because they dont want to be here anymore a horn will not stop them, we would like to get some sleep, the horns need to be banned in cities period.

American rail would be cooler if high low horns were in America just imagine a train doing a hi lo horn shos

Wait This Video Use To Be Made For Kids But Now Who's Talking Great Video Amtrak You Guys Work So Hard To Make Videos Like This The K5LAs Sound Bad A** Sorry To Say This But Dude There Awesome I Actually Railfan In El Paso Texas And Born There Have A Good Day

it should be elevated train track to speed up train and avoid noise pollution - too much infra debt.

I guess out of all the videos this one lol

Huh now I know

My mom doesn’t want to ride the Amtrak just the SNCF tgv :(

Why do British trains have dim sidelights instead of headlights? Because ever since railways were invented there, every inch of railway was fenced off & still is, so no one is on the track. It's the only country in thre world to do so.

Hmm I wonder why trains have horns? Hmmmmmmm I don't know... Maybe because they can crush a car.... Hmm... Just a thought... (Btw this is called sarcasm)

Sure wish these new chargers would get old school sounding K5LA's instead of the nonstop Raised Letter rubbish.

This all makes sense, but someone should invent a way for train horns to be highly directional in the path they are moving, so it achieves the safety goals without waking up everyone in a 1 mile radius.

I hate the new Amtrak Acela horns. Bruh the train looks cheap with that horn.

I hate train's horns, as I just awakened from them, it's 3:30 AM. I don't agree with your so-called, some drivers are making horns on purpose and by crazy ways! Here is Meriden, Connecticut!

What's the dope background song called?
