Amtrak Acela and Avelia Liberty Meet + Hornshow

[@ParkerHancock-lf2ny]

The horn on the new acela sounded like a WW2 ambulance siren

[@abentmetrocard]

Idk why YT recommended me this a year later but this might just be my favorite footage of the Avelia yet!

[@MyLifesTracks]

Cool video! I like that horn.

[@iZipTiedMyPenisToABrick]

Sounds like shit lmao

[@NERJ607]

I think they look pretty good

[@ncard00]

Yeah, but they should’ve gotten a full EMU instead of power car powered trains, hurts acceleration, and in fact, a 125mph s train level accelerating train would’ve been much more useful cause of the low average speed on the NEC.

Awesome Acela Express and Acela avelia liberty

[@TBF_1J]

Great catch

[@TheRailwayDrone]

How fast was that old Acela going?

[@jamalwhitaker]

150mph

[@yeetscreamer6030]

why do the horns on these things sound like a fire truck or a ambulance at times in a high, low configuration?

[@jacobsmithey9486]

Nice catch. I just hope they change it on the other train sets to a k5la. I like the k5la horn better. It just sounds better. But the Avelia Liberty is pretty nice though.

[@jacobsmithey9486]

@EngineerGaming1550 I understand that but the K5la is a much better horn.

[@TheREALTHAAANG]

​@EngineerGaming1550Also the k5la is too big to fit inside the nose

[@StefanWithTrains]

European horns have an Higher frequency and that means they more effective as horns then standard US ones.

[@greaternyrailfan]

@@jacobsmithey9486since the avelia is an european train, it’s made for european horns (the one it’s equipped with.), and the k5la is too big to fit on it since it’s made for american trains, not european.

[@jacobsmithey9486]

@@greaternyrailfan I understand but I like the k5la better.

[@apmazurka]

Great Video, Tell them to turn on the Headlights LOL.

[@yaraihan]

Nice Meeting Of Acela 1 & Acela 2. But For Acela 2, It Supposed To Have 2 Extra Car That Transition Design Between Passenger Car Body Design & Powercar Body Design.

0.30 j'espère qu'ils vont fixer cette inperfection on y ajoutant un kit aerodynamique sur la locomotive motrice. Par contre les wagons voyageur americain sont trop bien !

[@bostonrailsproductions]

What’s this station

[@amtrakfannec]

Kingston, RI

[@NoahMizrahi]

The front car on the train says "First Class", so if im riding in the last 4 cars am i second class or Lower class or maybe i have no class at all and haveta sit back with the cattle in the cattle car because thats how us jews roll baby and love it

[@ShujaatRahman-je9lv]

IDK why but the horn needs to be changed to something more American like K5

[@El_mas_argentino9877ngk]

Horn telolet

[@jamalwhitaker]

That european horn makes me sick!

[@StefanWithTrains]

It sounds great, I hope we get a horn like this in europe!

[@blackking7512]

It was meant for Europe to begin with. Amtrak just decided to get them.

[@StefanWithTrains]

@@blackking7512 ummmm, no. The EU counterpart of the Avelia Liberty (Avelia Horizon), has an standard TGV tyfoon.

[@blackking7512]

@StefanWithTrains3222 ik, but both avelias were meant for Europe. Amtrak just decided to have some built for themselves.

[@StefanWithTrains]

@@blackking7512 the Avelia Liberty is an American variant
