[@lillianstrachan4751]

I'm just a passionate train lover. Love this video. Been watching them since l was a little girl. My dad and I sat and watched all day. Love the trains....miss my dad.

same man, my old man got me into my love of trains. when i hear one in the night i think of him.

[@Seabeejim133]

Thank you so much for this video. I live in Carolina now, far from any tracks,. I grew up in Galesburg, Ill. during the 60's and would ride my bike up to the station and watch all the trains and masses of passengers going to and fro. When the trains would stop I'd go out and stand on the walkway near the Locomotives just so I could listen to their low rumbling and feel the power shaking my clothes as they pulled away. I would get so excited from watching and listening to them, AND of course waving to the engineer!!! I'm 62 years old, and today you have given me that excitement that I hadn't felt in well over 50 years... Thank you again....

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you very much for the comment, Jim! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@foxtrot7747]

Jim Hatch awesome! I'm 12 and I live down the street from some tracks and I love watching the trains go by and hearing the horns!

[@Seabeejim133]

BNSF_Lover , You're just the right age my young friend. Watch and listen to them, dream about where they came from and where they're going to. Stand and watch them go by, carrying people to so many different destinations. Enjoy your railroad dreams, but,,, just remember the most important part of loving trains,,, stay back a good safe distance from them, and that love of trains will always be with you no matter where you are. Stay safe my friend.🤗

[@foxtrot7747]

I certainly will. I have a few ancestors who worked for union Pacific, but sadly never got to meet them. I have some special connections with some railroad workers on the BNSF, UP, and Amtrak. The first thing I do when I see a train is think, "Just imagine the amount of time it takes to build these behemoths and how technology in these machines, how far it has come." God has blessed us with these monsters, not only to help our economy, but for great entertainment like this video. Stay safe my friend while watching these behemoths!

I'm a railfan from Australia and I absolutely love American trains and railways Amtrak is amazing I'd love it if we had them on our railway network

[@WWTBAMWinner]

Everyone's gotta love the Dash 8. I saw one up close, but never in action. Unfortunately, I didn't see 506 in this video. Regardless, this was very well made. Thanks for sharing.

[@SonicGamingTV2019]

Someone said 506 was at 3:06

[@JamesAndLiamReacts]

At 3:22, the horn of the Amtrak Dash 8 locomotive was actually pretty good! I love your videos, Coasterfan2105!

[@VandersonRezende-vo2lo]

​ eww

[@United1158]

That shot at 4:57 was amazing! Especially with the echo of the K5LA and the sunset!

[@ChicagoRailfanCrewProductions]

Is it just me or does this sound like a k5h or something 1:33

[@GT3504ever]

I know that was a beautiful horn show

[@dirt_lot_photography]

I gotta say, 18:43 is a pretty sexy consist, all heavy duty locos, no monocoque designs. I actually approve 👍

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Those dash 8 units are great locomotives. CSX just sold all theirs and many are now PRLX Leaser units

[@MrBnsftrain]

Didn't they also sell all of their AC6000CWs as well? I saw a whole bunch of them in Kansas City! (Including the one with the Seaboard Air line sticker)

[@tinymarkipler2yeaaboi153]

[@greatlakesrailfan586]

They were sold to GECX. There is about 20 left.

[@hakeemsd70m]

CSX still has some Dash 8 widecabs on their roster. I saw a 7600 series leading a Q Train to Indianapolis just two weeks ago.

1:44 you’ve put that film in one of your intros from 2016

[@janeordway4841]

These were an excellent replacement locomotive for the F40s, wished they stayed in the system longer.

[@janeordway4841]

The Alaska Railroad did the same thing with the 2 F40s they bought from Amtrak , pull the power unit out and make it A baggage unit.

[@Martin_Trainspotter]

8:23, I like the livery on this one. 👍

Amtrak's Dash-8 will always be my favorite diesel locomotive

[@nolantherailfan5048]

[@OSUfan757]

I’d have to go with the Genesis units, they’re unique, workhorses, sound incredible, have amazing power under the hood, aerodynamic, and most importantly, American!

[@hakeemsd70m]

My personal favorites, the EMD F- series (Yes, like Ford!), are a true rarity nowadays some 48 years after the last one left LaGrange.

These are undoubtedly the best horns on any Amtrak locomotive. My favourites are 3:22 4:54 7:12

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

I miss seeing dash 8s in the paint scheme like #509 pulling the southwest chief through Arizona when I was a kid. I also miss seeing the f40s on the sunset limited

I lived in Fresno for nine years and Amtrak was my near-exclusive (by choice mainly) way of traveling to my home area of Sacramento County. I've only see the Dash-8 locos painted in either Phase III or CalTrans paint schemes (for the two that CDTX bought from AMTK) on the San Joaquins route.

An acutal freight engine helping TWO Amtrak Dash 8's! It would be even more cooler if the UP engine was a GE one! A lot of these Dash 8's have great-sounding horns!
