Amtrak Big Bore K5LA 

I agree! You’d be amazed at the stuff that holds up in any crash and the surprising things that don’t! -JG

Same type the F40s had. All the AEM-7s had Big Bores upon leaving the factory alongside the F40PHs until getting newer models that never had the charm the Big Bores had. This one was taken off 900 after removal from the Chase MD accident in 1987 so not only was the horn still rather newish, it wasn't crushed like the rear one.

Ah that’s cool!

Mine is considered by most collectors as the “grand daddy” of gas setups. This is a 43cfm at 175psi pump driven by an 18HP gas engine. 50 gallons of air total. I essentially have unlimited air if I don’t go too insane on the valve. -JG

Beats me but I’m sure glad it did! The exposed end of 900 was relatively undamaged. -JG

Yes. RU-vid likes to label videos “for kids” and by doing so, gets rid of comments, playback control, and upload notifications (for those that have them on). Trains can be considered “for kids” as children usually have a tendency to like things that are highly stimulating and trains stimulate 4 out of the 5 senses. We are all adults so usually there is swearing in the background and I don’t promote driving around with horns blaring. In all of my videos, I am miles away from houses. I’ve been stopped over a dozen times by police in the past and have never had an issue. They usually just want to know what we’re doing and to be safe. Haven’t had a bad encounter yet. -JG
