Description: One of Amtrak’s Avelia Liberty Trainsets we’re making a trip to Boston for about few days to conduct crew familiarization for Zone 1. We start off in Westport on the 1905 era Saugatuck River Drawbridge. Next, I race over to West Haven where he slows on approach to New Haven. Then I head over to New London where we get to listen to it’s “glorious” two chime horn being used for the railroad crossings. Finally on Thursday Night, it was making it way back to Philadelphia so I popped over to Old Saybrook where we ‘really’ get to listen to its majestic horn as it breezes by.

I know lots of people aren't too fond of the European style horn on the Avelia, but I'm liking it more and more only because it is just so unique. Nothing here in the States sounds like that. We have enough K5LAs and other such chime horns. The two-tone horn is something different to listen to. Plus, it's kinda cute. LOL!

It is a damning indictment of Connecticut’s rail system that it’s possible to chase a high speed train with a car across the state. The rest of the Corridor does great, but Connecticut is awful.

Hello! I’m AcelaRailfan2255 but people tend to call me by my real name “Matt”, anyways I am making a documentary on the Avelia Liberty but I simply do not have enough clips of the train to add into my documentary, so I am asking if it would be okay for me to take one of the Avelia Liberty clips from this video for me to add into my documentary, if you were to agree I would put credits to your channel when the clip was played during my video, anyways I understand if you do not want me to do this, but I am asking to be nice, because a lot of other people would just steal other peoples content but that’s not the type of person I am, anyways let me know what you think! - AcelaRailfan2255.

Why can't they use both horns at the same time to make a 2 chime sound?

@haxorouse3265 Жыл бұрын

I'm not a musician, but from what I know of music theory, I think they could set up a 5 chime horn, where both the top and bottom 3 notes would form a good sounding horn that could be used as a high low, and all 5 could form a different chord when played together

Don't listen to them, they don't understand that the K5LA air horn will save all. Praise the K5LA!!!! (I'm joking, 2-tone horns are silly and fun)

I think the livery of the trains would be great if only the power cars lined up with the coaches, at least make the paint match up since it's unrealistic to change the shape. As for the horn, I'm fine with two tone horns in general but I can't say they chose the best sounds for the Avelia, I'd prefer a different sound or just the K5LA again

I won't ever get over the horn on these. It's atrocious and completely ruins them for me. Honestly, the whole design of these things feels like an afterthought. Could they not have just made the coaches *FLUSH WITH THE POWER CARS?* They look terrible, but ultimately won't matter much when viewed going by at 200mph, so whatever. I still hate them though. The paint scheme could be better too. I don't like how the coaches just look like a ripoff of the Intercity 125, and I feel that they should have stuck with the original concept design and color scheme. It was so much better, and would fit in with Amtrak's new Paint scheme. Plus, both *ACTUALLY LOOKED GOOD.* *These things just make Amtrak look worse than it already does with everything that's going on.*
