Amtrak Acela's Hybrid K5LA Horn Compilation!

The sound, the speed! The Acela!!! I have to ride these before they are retired! Very awesome catches!!!

[@matthewhanna9115]

Katerina Kittycat Theyre being retired due to entering service in the 90’s, and they are very heavy trains and the service is looking for more efficient trains

[@greglamothe8902]

3:23 is a really nice clip, probably my favorite.

I love seeing them go through Kingston (which I’m 99% sure is where that clip was taken). They don’t go their fastest there, but they do NOT GO SLOW THERE

[@Noah_Ciquera]

Something very interesting happened to me yesterday. So, I rode the Acela for the first time yesterday, very nice experience. And then when I think my day couldn’t get any better, I saw the engineer on the platform! So I went up to him, he was very nice. And he told me that we were going 144 mph for our top speed. He even showed me where the electric bell was located on the engine! It’s funny because I even showed HIM where the horns were on the engine! He even gave me some info on NEW Acelas coming in a few years. The engineer said that they would look nothing like they do now. That kind of made me sad, because I love the design of the Acelas now, and I think they look bold. Though he did say that the new engines would be more aerodynamic. P.S. The horn and bell were a few of my favorite parts of the train! 😀

[@TRUMPmyOSHI]

[@ParrotGaming123]

@David Moore I don’t think it’s coming from the wires. I’ve seen some other train videos with diesels, and the sound also comes from there, I think from the rails

[@bennickss]

It’s like a rumble that alerts you that a train is coming

[@WCE107]

​@@ParrotGaming123 it's probably the vibrations caused by the train as it approaches.

They are normal, and happen often with acelas, you can see sparks better during the night though.

I wonder why the Acela express and the HHP-8 seem to use a special hybrid variation of the K5LA horn rather than the regular K5LA horn that was used on the AEM7, and currently used on the ACS-64 locomotives?

[@Oat_meal_YT]

0:56 sounds like a fast frieght train

It does. That screamed freight to me. No suprise when you know that the Acela uses a modified K5LA horn, with the K5LA being very popular with freight locomotives.

[@emeraldzebra9360]

What's a "Hybrid" K5LA ?

[@CTSLRailfan]

so what happened to the right marker light of the acela at 2:17

[@SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

Unfortunately the time has come to make the best of these horns because the new Acela trains do not have this Hybrid K5LA and have a two chime air horn. I can't understand why Amtrak would put just two single chime air horns for a high speed train that would be faster than these older Acelas. Just imagine when you see them flying at full speed through stations and they blow their horn, it just won't be loud enough nor as attention grabbing as these Hybrid K5LAs. It will be such a shame not to hear these horns anymore!

Well because those trains are supposed to a) drive on tracks where a horn mostly isn’t needed, and b) the nose prolly is to sleek for a k5 unit
