Amtrak F40 207 with PERFECT old casting P5A horn - 1999 

And stayed in the old paint scheme

I wish they never got converted into NPCU's.

@@UTTPRamranch yes i was heartbroken when i heard they were npcu s

@@UTTPRamranch why not? It’s the best way they could’ve gone.

@@UTTPRamranch It’s better than scrap

Actually the F40's were nicknamed "Screamin Thunderboxes". Amtrak's GE P-32 locomotives were called "Pepsi Cans" with their first paint scheme.

The p32-8bwh were Pepsi Cans

Yeah, ditch lights have been required on U. S. Diesel locos in the lead since 1995, so this is not 1999.

I heard that Nathan p5a when I was 9 and 11

Paul, not every unit got them right away

@@paulw.woodring7304strobes could be used in place of ditchlights for a time

The E60 is still running, actually. It is running with the National Railways of Mexico on their heavy freight trains through the Tijuana Valley

@@charlesweeks6993 no it isnt. The NdeM was turned into Ferromex in the late 90s. No E60s run currently to my knowledge.

@@LateRegister look at the video called "Electric Trains Galore!" by Coasterfan2105. You can see some E60s pulling a heavy coal train for the National Railways of Mexico

@@charlesweeks6993 Those run for the now-defunct Black Mesa and Lake Powell Railroad. They are ex-NDEM.

@Parrot's Videos i knew that

Well, it's a bit hard to say, but the horn the E60s wore sound quite like the old-cast P5s (in fact, E60 606 wore a mixed-cast P5A at some point in her life), except that all (save for some later on) wore the unique P01235s, a variation of the old-cast P5, except that it's deeper-sounding. The P5As, however, don't sound that deep, and they have slightly-different notes.

@@Milwaukeeroadfan It sounds like a p01235 from a e60!

miguel duguay A little bit, except it wasn't that deep

@@Milwaukeeroadfan You know what? It could be a old cast p5a with mixed castings.

Pretty much. The E60 used a P5, with the lower tone bell swapped for their lowest, the 0 bell hence the p01235 designator for the horn and all.

im not sure u realize how old this vid is buddy lol

@@grotonrailfanner1635 That’s a combination that can somewhat be done actually. New Cast 2, 3 bells, and Old Cast 1, 4a (still in production) and 5. For example, take NS 9719.

@@alexpaumen3937 wait really??

Wisconsin Railfanner I don’t think so

Homer 4 you must not be from the area. It is not the village of Port Byron and I don’t know why you feel the need to correct me. The road crossing is called Town Line road because the town lines are on either side. I was on the town of Brutus side, not the town of Mentz side. The railroad location is defined as Centerport and the hamlet of Centerport is the closest settlement to the location. If talking about villages then Weedsport is the closest, not Port Byron. Calling it Port Byron is not only erroneous but confusing with a crossing that actually is in Port Byron further to the west.

Centerport, NY is on Long Island.

I see this crossing from I-90 when I drive between Rochester and Syracuse.

Homer 4 you’re more than welcome to think what you like. I’m aware there’s hamlet of Centerport in the town of Mentz and Suffolk County. The DED located a few yards behind where I shot the video also identifies as Centerport NY as that’s the location.

All original P5a were second generation P series.

Turbos used The P5a Its Whole Life, They're are 3rd in My Amtrak's Best Loco Roster

I hadn't looked at turboliners yet at the time of posting this comment.
