In July of 2023, I made a stop over in La Porte, Indiana to see one of the first runs of an ALC-42 locomotive on Amtrak's Capitol Limited. While I was there, I filmed several other trains passing by on Norfolk Southern's busy Chicago Line, one of the busiest east-west freight rail routes in the upper Midwest. Included are several NS freight trains, Amtrak, and South Shore Line on its run to Kingsbury, Indiana.

If I correctly recall the horn signals of a train approaching a flat crossing, they consist of two long blasts, one short blast, and one long blast. However, I've lately heard all manner of signals. Near where I live, there is a Norfolk Southern line extending from the inner city marshaling yard to a quarry about twenty miles north of the marshaling yard. The line is only used at night-a couple of runs between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM. When the train approaches a nearby, single, flat-level crossing, I hear all manner of horn signals, maybe a few double taps, a couple of long taps, or up to thirteen short taps. The signals make no sense. When the same train approaches a nearby road intersection where the tracks cross two intersecting roads, the horn signals are again completely random-maybe four or five taps of varying lengths, several double taps, or intermixed short and long taps but no distinctive pattern. Are train horn signals now left completely up to the engineer?

@FrederickJenny Месяц назад

Used to go to school in that area, I went to college at Valparaiso University Indiana. It was great to listen to the trains and go to see them.

And fun fact: After Cleveland, Ohio both the Lakeshore Limited and capital Limited fallows the same tracks between Cleveland, Ohio and Chicago, Illinois

@IGuessIDoThings Месяц назад

I’m right in the middle of that route

@whistle.productions Месяц назад

yes… we know. no other route it could possibly take and remain efficient

0:11 Nice videos with Northern Indiana. And I had a been Northern Indiana with my friends this trip. 🙂

@tatecarlson Месяц назад

Thx for visiting my state, I'm glad you got some great footage. The area you were up by seemed to be relatively close to Michigan City, Indiana which fun fact is the home of TM Books&Videos where the iconic I love Toy Trains Parts 1-12 were filmed, and Tom McComas passed the reigns over to his son Jeff McComas

@rhondastewart4179 Месяц назад

@SoCalOCRailfan Месяц назад

Incredible video Mike! So cool to see this busy action on the Chicago line, including the south shore short line which I am very familiar with as I’ve seen it in Chicago before.

Thank you Mike Armstrong. What a joy, especially to listen to! I miss those sounds. Wish Amtrak would donate a model train with train whistles, bells, track sounds at Fernwood Botanical Gardens Railroad Garden , Niles MI. We do have an artist made rendition of the 1800's Amtrak train depot... AND for train enthusiasts: we're not far from LaPorte IN and encourage everyone to come see the beautiful original Amtrak Depot in Niles AND The Railroad Garden at Fernwood. 😉

And you were there at the right time too because as of recently, most crossings through La Porte are Quiet Zones.

@angelhuerta1626 Месяц назад

Wow I had no idea trains were that busy because I have no idea how train life is like how does it feel to be a driver of a train of either passenger or freight and the drivers of these locomotives they are really busy this channel just got more entertaining much more entertaining

I... remember you, still going strong like the early to mid 2010s

@georgeadams1853 Месяц назад

I believe the SouthShore Freight line is the former Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville (Monon) RR Michigan City line.

@irish00011 Месяц назад

Even though there wasn't one while you were recording, Canadian Pacific also has trackage rights on this Norfolk Southern Chicago Line, but they turn Northeast into Michigan.

@TheAustinSubRailfan Месяц назад

8:31 Nice NF 2PC 1L K5HL on that ES40! It sucks that those old 2000s K5HLs are getting rare as more GEVOs get RL ones.

@coolleo149 Месяц назад

It’s surprising that Amtrak is now making the P42s trail behind the ALCs

@AlIttihadiClubSA Месяц назад

@christiandambrosio8363 Месяц назад

Is Caltrain required to disable their EMD F40s when they are retired and the EMUs launch into service?

@AJTLfilms Месяц назад

Hello Mike! Did you make it to the NY Central museum in Elkhart?

@NMRAILRUNNER103 Месяц назад

U gotta do some more rail runner vids. also what if coaster got a MP36PH?

@darryldomingo7890 Месяц назад

Lets just take about the Wallscreen the video About a Train Hitting A UP TRAIN

@christiandambrosio8363 Месяц назад

Hey Mike are there any other grant funds for railroads to require older locomotives to be inoperable when they are replaced with new tier 4 locomotives or is it just the Carl Moyer grant funds? Because I recently heard that the Trinity railway express in Texas is getting new Charger locomotives in the next few years as replacements to their F59s
