Its a bitter cold day in 1978, and we are trackside with a old Kodak Super 8mm sound movie camera. We are just north of the Bear Mountain bridge on the east shore of the Hudson River on the old NYC Water Level Route in New York. The first train has FL9's north bound in push pull fashion. He is seen blowing the Handcock Air whistle as he passes. Then n/b Amtrak #63, the Niagara Rainbow passes with fantastic echoing horns in the river valley. Then a s/b Amtrak turbo blast past with even better sounding horns. Sorry for the quality, and shaky old film. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294™...

You captured the best F40PH hornshow in existence in my opinion there isnt one better.

@1jackdk 5 лет назад

LOL, Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. They sure did sound good.

@christophercarey3232 5 лет назад

After all, the K5LA horn was specifically designed for Amtrak, that is until the freight railroads like CSX and Norfolk Southern decided to purchase them.

How unusual in that the Turboliner has a Nathan P-01235 horn, which were customized by Nathan for Amtrak's E60 electric locomotives. Pretty unique and cool sound.

@thischannelisnotused Год назад

No, the Turbolinners had P12346 Airhorns I think

Amazing FL9 Horn. Just amazing!

@LongIslandRailfanner Месяц назад

Fun fact, The New Haven's First batch of EMD FL9's didn't have horns but instead had really cool Hancock Air whistles the second batch however did have horns like most normal diesels. The EMD FL9 is one of the oldest duel mode diesel locomotives to exust and lasted in service for nearly 60 years until being retired by Metro North in 2008

Yes they did. I do have a video clip up with them blowing at a crossing on the Pittsburgh mainline. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mo_8OcR5to0.html

@Joethaboss66 6 лет назад

That doesn't sound like a K5LA at all.

@gil.k9634 6 лет назад

Well yeah because the sound quality isn’t the best knowing that this video was recorded in 1978 but if you were to hear the original sound in person it would sound like a k5la

@frostbyte3978 3 года назад

You might not even care anymore, but 1st generation k5la

@Joethaboss66 3 года назад

I know. The reason why it threw me off originally is that this recording is being played back at two times the original speed, thus making the horns pitch sound twice as high.
