AMTRAK 503 (AWESOME K5LA HORN !!!) 

You can never go wrong with the Dash 8s on the surfliners

Beautiful video. I've been riding from Van Nuys to Oceanside and back for years, and I know when my usual ride is passing about two miles north of where I live. Sometimes I'll time an evening walk just so that I can be outdoors to hear that K5LA...

great catches and video of this Dash 8 in the pivfic surfliner trains

My father and I used to chase trains out of San Diego back in the mid 70s to mid 80s. We were there so often they would let us ride through the wye at MCRD and I even got to work the whistle once. They sure have built up around that San Diego Depot. Imagine trying to chase a train up to Del Mar back when the speed limit was 55 mph. We rode in a 1971 RoadRunner with a 340+6. Once we saw a 14 car freight with 2 SD45, an F45, 2 GP30s, an SD40-2 and a GP35 sitting just North of the SD Depot. They must have been in a hurry because they just lit it up and were going at least 50 by the time the caboose came by. Dad looked at me and said "Well, what do ya think?" I said "YEAH!" and we hopped in that RoadRunner. In Del Mar, we heard the horn as we were closing the doors. I wish I could have taken a picture of the guy in the caboose, it was like he'd seen 2 ghosts as we waved at him again. That was almost 40 years ago.

I like how 503 has that Santa Fe Dome Car right behind it. I once saw an Amtrak Superliner with PRR Passenger Car when My Mom was taking Me back home from My graduation

Spencer Hughes, you might be the ballsiest rail fan ever. I love the way you film all of these. It seems like you are two feet away from the train when it gets to you and you're still able to keep your footing. Looks exiting to be there. Cheers!

I just saw your video. Amazing, I can't get enough looking at the dash 8-32ph. Thanks for sharing

Great horn sound on the Pacific Surfliner between San Diego & Los Angeles. I rode on the Pacific Surfliners between San Diego & Los Angeles 7 times when they were called the San Diegans. My late wife, late daughter & oldest sons very first train ride was on the San Diegan from Los Angeles to San Diego on 8/6/1981 when they arrived from the Philippines. When my late daughter was on her own, she would ride to & from San Luis Obispo during long weekends such at the Memorial Day & Labor Day & Thanksgiving holiday weekend instead of drive, she liked train travel a lot, so does my oldest son, especially when he was on Temporary duty in Japan with the Air Force. I travel long distance by Amtrak & will be riding Amtrak more often between San Diego, Los Angeles & Oxnard in the future.

I love the Amtrak dash-8

7:39 I remember that one when me and my cousins went to the beach! When we were there it went off like 3~5 times!

That is one PHENOMENAL K5LA Spencer!!!!

Fantastic! Great shots and what an absolutely amazing horn O.O Thanks for the great upload

I Like That Dash 8 Surfliner

Thank you for sharing the video. I'm originally from orange county now living in San diego. This video makes me miss orange county 😣

6:13 AWESOME train chasing !

Замечательное видео. Да сигнал у них очень громкий и приятный на звук.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing....

Muy buenos videos, muchas gracias.

You can take videos of Amtrak cascades in Seattle.

Really amazing!

The silver splendor car went to the Conway Scenic as “Rhonda Lee”

You should have a microphone some distance away. A cell phone camera would do. Sync. Blend that audio track with the close camera during the flyby wind buffeting. 8:00 Beautiful shot!!!

Nice catch on the first train

Awesome video! Great quality not fuzzy or blurry at all. SoCal has a lot of train action. I live in San Francisco... boring!!

That 503 has gotta know you by now!

That's a pretty big crossing on the first video

5:57 the first time I knew that Dash 8s can actually do 90 mph

I'm still curious about the unknown man or boy by that signal light Spencer

Best K5LA ever

spencerhughes2255 Nice Video! good catch do u know when its running again?

This Amtrak Dash 8 kinda looks like BNSF.

That dash 8 is hauling ass

06:00 is very fast!!!!

hey spencer can you tell me the point of that siding at San Juan train station to the bridge? i dont think ive ever seen anything on it besides track maintenance.

Pardon me,but Can't engines like these,Pull Freight loads?

I saw the engine 503 on The Amtrak Coast Starlight

Why does it have a Santa fe car silver

There was another train that was coming

9:38 late comment but straight out of a NJT Cab Comet V Car

Is 503 no longer capable of generating HEP? Or does the engineer simply elect to run a Genesis on the rear to provide the HEP (or TEP, whatever you like to call it on the back end) and have full power available to the Dash-8?

There you are train 503

What everyone is calling a Dash 8 looks like an ES44 to me. Whats the difference and please don't get mad at me.

Whose private car is that!?

Sure moves fast

0:51 I WOULD SHIT MY PANTS SO MUCH HOLY CRAP BRUH

1:46 theres a trainz 12 amtrak acela cab car bell
