man, the railroad crossing bell is relentless.

What

[@Major_Tom98]

That crossing bell is EXTREMELY loud.

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

Very surprised at how the F59PHs can handle 7-8 MLVs no problem, but NJT’s GP40s and F40s can handle only up to 4 MLVs; would be interesting if NJT/MNCW bought F59s for NJT’s diesel operations to supplement the Geeps. Super cool vid!

[@mercedes8192]

Your so right

[@ThatOneExoRailfan]

They ARE SO POWER FUL THAT THEY CAN HOLD 9 MLV CARS I don't know how but they are the most powerful f59phi

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

that would be cool

[@AGSGuy]

I think it mainly depends on the company. Metra’s consists are usually 5, 7-10 Bi-Levels and 1 F40

[@thefatprotocanine]

a fact for you: the alp45dp are only in the exo system and the njt system, making it rare!

[@CurvyTribune]

Their paint scheme is awesome. My first time seeing a video of this railroad.

[@thefatprotocanine]

as a person who lives in the province, which they added a bit of black so it brings a better balance

[@superbaddy4]

One lesser known thing about Exo is that a very small number of their equipment bears these rare, "unknown" form of E-Bells (I don't know exactly what they are) which cannot be heard anywhere outside of the Exo system. If you listen very closely in the clips of this video when F59PHIs 1321 and 1322 appear, you can hear them. In fact, apart from those two, the only other thing I know for sure bears this odd kind of bell is Single Level Cab Car 708.

[@PaulsDMVRailroadsandAviation]

I actually like that bell. It’s better sounding than the other two more common types of e-bells in my opinion

[@superbaddy4]

Me too. I wish there were more of them. They would sound great on the UTA FrontRunner Cab Cars and MP36s.

[@MiddleboroLakevilleRailfan]

I feel like the “mystery” bell is a revived steam bell just they made it electronic

[@AMT1345]

They are Transtronic bells and Ekyrail bells

[@superbaddy4]

I know they're Ekybells now. I just didn't know back then.

[@inlandempirerailfan4269]

0:48 That F59PHI is boss! 2 horns

[@mercedes8192]

I love the amt (EXO) F59phi

[@wilfstor3078]

@@ThatOneExoRailfan The second horn on the via engines is to meet a TSB safety law. It has nothing to do with horns breaking. One horn is actually too loud to be used normally.

[@user-TheBestRailfan]

I liked your information .

[@GamingRailfanner]

@@mercedes8192 then explain the ALP-45 and Cab cars

[@mercedes8192]

I make a mistake, for all locomotives they have two horns because they are not allowed to test them in residential areas.

[@ThatOneExoRailfan]

Why do they go so slow by they skip the station and don't stop I don't understand

[@northlanderdude]

was there no other place to fan at other than next to that crossing gate bell ???

This is probably the weirdest commuter train I have ever seen. Two sets of horns on the top, a very quiet bell, and locos I have never seen before

[@sansabilkhalid7252]

All this train are amazing such beutiful shapes and colour .

[@SteamboatWilley]

Great selection of trains, but the crossing bell noise gets irritating really fast. Might I suggest finding a quieter location to film?

[@flattrain5834]

Whenever the horns seem good it’s a quiet zone

[@xaviertrktechnicianwarrior1972]

Few week ago, in august, when i was walkin' to the exporail canada covid 19 entry (alternative enter and exit) i seen an amt train passing in front of me while walkin' with my dad going to exporail, it was single level coach, going backward with cabcar, with a f59 phi locomotive (little notice: in amtrak, the f59phi was the surfliner locomotive, but they removed those and use now mor sc44 challenger locomotive) but i didn't have the chance to record it... but a least, it was kinda my 1st "rail fanning" this year!

[@michaelsantos9529]

What’s the F59 loco bell?

two horns but they never use them... in those areas lol... can you goto a crossing where they do or link a vid where you got'm? great vid though, good catches and good quality!

[@ThatOneExoRailfan]

At Dorval u can see via rails too.

[@ElevationStationProductions]

These trains have two horns... one is for normal use and the other for emergencies right?

[@TransitQuebec]

By having two horn sets, they are not required to test them in the morning and thus not impacting residents near yards

[@ElevationStationProductions]

That is honestly one of the stupidest things I have ever read... the trains should be able to honk the horns and test as necessary. It sucks people are so uptight about train horns.

[@TransitQuebec]

Many exo overnight yards are located very close to residential areas.

[@ElevationStationProductions]

@@TransitQuebec if you move near a train yard, you should know what you’re getting yourself into in terms of noise. The people who move next to a train yard and complain about horns or next to a school and complain about kids screaming wow me

[@TransitQuebec]

@@ElevationStationProductions The problem is that in some cases on the exo network , the yard came AFTER the residential areas there build next to. Many lines on exo network started as mitigation mesure for major road works so they build yard where the can. On the exo St-Jérôme line, yard is next to residence, that were there first !

Why the EXO Trains Didn't Blow The Horn While Railroad Crossing Activated?

[@Katrielle_Going_To_Quebec]

Well at least someone outside of Montréal agree that the new EXO repaint looks ugly and blant than the AMT era before the Quebec government abolished them.

[@andrewcrothers2000_]

I would have thought how GO Transit would basically go from Toronto to Montreal and maybe the AMT EXO Train would go up to Toronto

[@thomasstudioanimate4646]

13:00 Can GO Transit refurbished cab car will had this e bell I think

[@rhettrossalbert]

Nice video Michael!

[@PaulsDMVRailroadsandAviation]

I think all e-bells are annoying, but I much prefer the Canadian Transtronic bells to the Graham-White 373 bells. Much less harsh sounding, and they sound more like a real train bell to me

[@AVeryRandomPerson]

Unlike the Graham White 373 Electronic Solenoid Bell, which was recorded from a real Bronze Bell?

I know most of these locations been there in person.

Why do they have two horns?

[@seaboardspastic]

Dual canadian style.

[@wilfstor3078]

@@seaboardspastic For some reason all of AMT's yards are put in quiet zones so they are not allowed to run horn tests. So they just put on a second horn incase one is broken. Makes them quite loud when they do happen to use the horn.

[@orionharmon6017]

The F59PH and the F59PHI looks just like the Amtrak surfliner.

extra incase the main one fails. but either way the horns are still loud on their own

Personally I love AMT but they should stick to 1 model for coaches and engines and stick too it. Although there are all very nice

[@trainfire2008]

Try telling that to GO Transit train fans in the Toronto area. It’s great to have old F59PHs on select routes but it won’t be long before it all looks the same with just MP40s and the newer ones.

[@PaulsDMVRailroadsandAviation]
