Amtrak F40 Horn Show Compilation - You won't believe your ears!

[@IsaiahVerseRailfanning]

Amtrak Engineers: "You railfans want a show? I'll give you a show!". The engineers must be railfans as well, cause they gave some classic footage..

[@karakeehan1788]

Lol so true 😂😂

[@MasterSanders]

They real G’s for that.

[@CSXJoshua]

The K5LA is music to my ears!

[@meverything2216]

Best one I heard was a cal train one!

[@jasoncrablephillytransitbo4633]

YES!

[@Amtk-712]

It is my personal favorite(besides the one I got to record!)

[@IceFoxTrainSpotting]

*I'm assuming this was around Christmas time because they were doing Jingle Bells on the P5 horn*

[@LARailProductions]

Nice horns playing Jingle Bells! :)

[@LARailProductions]

Alex Paumen Yeah I agree!

[@Trainlover1995]

Would you really wanna hear Jingle Bells get honked on a badly-tuned P2?

[@icrailfanner]

[@justaviel3485]

The k5s will always be legendary I can imagine it on a GEVO

[@burdizdawurd1516Official]

This gave me chills. Trains are exciting, but there's a rare occasion I get chills when trackside. This is equivalent to some of my all time favorite Acela hornshows.

[@ncrailfan1869]

One of the best K5la horn shows I ever heard.

[@conrail4129]

This is some great footage!! One of the friendliest engineers ever on Amtrak.

[@cheechchongfan97]

I can listen to this over and over again. F40PHs have the best horns ever.

[@TTTEFAN-ke3xp]

[@TheNorthYorkRailfan]

Amazing! In the beginning it was awesome how the engineer played jingle bells on the K5LA

[@DpLfilms]

Best horn ever on the 2nd clip! Just awesome dude!

[@amjkodaz]

RIP Pete, one of the greatest engineers to ride the rails!

Whoo! That's so awesome. Too bad I didn't exist at that time and too bad I wasn't there either. Love that F40PH and love that K5LA horn.

[@RestrictingSignalProductions]

AWSOME, that is one of the best crew and horn shows I've ever seen!!

[@NYCrailguy875]

GEEEEEZ amazing hornshows guys!! multiple jingle bells and SAAHC crazy!

[@SoCalTransitRider]

[@LookOutForTheTrain]

Insane! Love them!

[@ChamplainValleyRailSnapshots]

What an awesome horn show! Thanks for sharing! It must have been awesome to be able to experience it. It seems today you hear about so much animosity between railfans and crews this is very pleasant.

[@IceFoxTrainSpotting]

*Csx owns few of these F40phs today for their OCS train exeption of 9999 its in YN3B as for the other units they have been repainted into B&O paint scheme and remember to CSX 1 2 and 3 CSX 9999 is in YN3B as of now eventually it will be renumbered into CSX 4*

[@carlissakelley7929]

[@zdenkapetrova2615]

0:41 the horn is doing the Jingle Bells

[@Railroadracer49]

Musician: so what instrument do you play? Me:

[@gamersgonecrazy7536]

What year did amtrak retire all of the f40ph's... Bc here in Canada VIA Rail runs 53 of them on there fleet along with 21 P42DC's and back in 2007 the goverment funded via to rebuild all of our F40PH's all tho the prototype (Via # 6400) back in 2010 it was involved in a huge accedent and was retierd and scraped in 2012... but now all 53 of our F40PH's run our blue and grey theme instead of the grey and yellow colour... they look nice with our BUDD coaches and the P42DC's look good with our LRC coaches.

[@Amtrak90222]

GamersGoneCRAZY 2001, except the exhibit train has Amtrak 406 (F40PH, Phase III) and their Cabbage cars exist (F40s without an engine(needs a P42 for help) and holds baggage.)

[@gamersgonecrazy7536]

ok Thank you... I thought they retiered them in 1999

[@Amtrak90222]

GamersGoneCRAZY Actually 406 is an F40, but it's a Non-Powered Control Unit (NPCU) and works like a cabbage car, but it doesn't have the baggage door and doesn't hold baggage. I think some units in the 200 series are F40s.

[@gamersgonecrazy7536]

Union Pacific 2010 Fan it's really to bad if you ask me. the fact that they only have 1 (that still has the phase III scheme) f40ph... I personally think that company's (Like Amtrak and VIA) should egnolage old engines and restore some of them for some kind of heritage runs... The only difference between Amtrak and VIA is they don't have a running "heritage unit" it's only on display and repainted with the Maple leaf on the front... but VIA has dissownd there f units and it's upsetting

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

Metra is planning on retiring these in 2020.

[@Shinyarc]

0:10 Why is it honking “Jingle bells”?

[@CartersTrains]

They were all doing Jingle Bells, not just that one guy. It was probably close to Christmas when they took these videos.

[@fennvillerailfan3441]

I remember when F40's would run on the CSX Grand Rapids Sub for train 371 and 370, (Pere Marquette) They stopped putting F40's on 371/370 in 2001.

[@grotonrailfanner1635]

[@northjerseytrains]

Nice hornshow.

[@dlane5292]

Gotta wonder what the passengers on-board thought when they heard that...

[@TriStateRailfan]

Hey im in florida currently and cant make it to NY to see that but i wish i could

[@Amtrak90222]

xxMineVSCraftxx Gaming & Railfanning F40PHs were taken out of service. 406 is the last one that's not a cabbage car in service, but it's a NPCU, which requires another locomotive with an engine.

[@ThatColumbusRailfan]

Dang these guys were doing SAAHC for a while then.

[@emersonfigueiredo6300]

To me the third clip's horn sounds more a p5 not a k5la

[@TheMilwaukeeRoad]

Actually it is a K5LA. You can tell by its great tune

[@pdrumz534]

The fact that some of the f40s play jingle bells

[@jasoncrablephillytransitbo4633]

A SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT

[@DailyRingCams]

All the k5las
