The BEST Old School Amtrak K5LAs 

I love the first k5la doppler effect

Back when train horns were good.

I Loved the one with the fog at 2:26, the fog makes the seen a whole lot better

Best K5LAs I've EVER heard!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Definitely better than today's horns for sure!

In 1996 I lived in NJ, near the central station, man it was nice to step into the backyard and hear this kind of beauty. 😌

2:48 This was awesome

Amtrak's FL9s were also retrofitted with K5LAs after their original Hancock air whistles were removed, and some of the clips you can find of them in use is absolutely stunning.

Those GP40s are some of my favorite Amtrak units :)

I ENJOY THIS VIDEO THANK YOU I ALSO REMEMBER THE RED DODGE RAM TRUCK WITH THE AMTRAK K5LA HORN ON IT

@ 2:48 that horn in the distance after it passed does something to me. One of the best horns ever made!

Man, those do beat today's K5s....

Beautiful, I love the first Gen K5LAs.

Thank you thank you thank you!! Great footage of F40s and GP40s as well as #doppler effect.

Lovely K5LAs

Wow I remember taking Amtrak from Florida to Philadelphia as a kid this brings back memories of those horns it's nice to hear them again 😊

Sweetest sound horns! Ironically, because they were so loud and clear sounding, railroads with them have been gradually replacing them with the newer versions which are deliberately dischorded, including the K5LLa.

Wow, that was good, it brings back memories… I miss the F40-PH

The k5la is a very beautiful horn

all the way with the Nathan K5LA the queen of all train horns

I wish those old engines were still in service like FP7A

I see you caught one of the GP40TC's, nice catch :D

I love the old amtrak horns these are some old videos

The P40DCs also had their own batch.

Very upbeat and happy sounding.

Those beautiful K5LAs are the best!

Even though I was born in 98', I still get a real sense of nostalgia alone just from the the Doppler effect. Really makes me wish I was born earlier just to live in the 90s and see all these genuine Amtrak trains. Not to see all these charger units and k5hl bullshit

Man those F40phs are some of my favorite Units 3rd to the acs-64 e60 and and the aem - 7

0:53 Well, hello again future Maine Eastern 488! That's the third time this week it's popped up unexpectedly for me in an Amtrak video! Go figure. Looks like it's being hauled off for maintenance again too... You know, I'm starting to get the impression 488 has a history of mechanical problems.

This is how k5las became famous 😊

great sounds!

That gp40tc in the first clip sounded good.

Your back

I like the one that emerges from the fog

GRAND TONE!

OK BACK THEN CAMERA VOLUME USED TO BE VERY LOUD

Is this in New York?

Fantastic

That one clip where a GP40TC is pulling a FL9

0:14 sound too good :) makes me tearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr a bit :)

I like the P5A’s on the F40PH rather than K5LA!

@mdamttc199 Nice vid! Anymore footage of AEM-7 horns?

I just recently watched the Amtrak youtube video on train horns. Was that you hosting it?

1975?

0:45 where is this

Amazing 4:21

Were these all 1st gen, or were there some 2nd gen?

The AMTRAK FP7A , GP40 are scrapped or retired

Is there anyway to make a k5 from today into one like this matt?

God ol’ Classic K5LA beats a K5HL Any day!

Let me see
