There’s our F59PHI locomotives from Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner in Southern California and Amtrak Cascades in the states of Oregon, Washington, and parts of Vancouver, Canada....if only Amtrak still kept at least one or two of these in service...I really love those locomotives and when they would lead trains from San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara to Los Angeles and San Diego I’d always love seeing them leading the trains on the surfline and their K5LA horns sounded just as beautiful as they do here with their new owners Chicago Metra in the state of Illinois....it’s a good thing they didn’t scrap them...unlike Metrolink’s solitary F40PH 800....but great video man!!!! I hope to one day catch Amtrak’s F59PHI locomotives with Metra.... :)

@C.Q_Wilkenson 3 года назад

The way the K5LAs sound on the F59phi is a particularly great sound. The precise physical placement of the horn on the locomotive gives it a very particular muffled sound. Much like a mute on a trombone.
