Sounder Rush Hour Special! 30+ Minutes of trains in Puyallup, WA

With the economy taking a toll on BNSF's income recently, during Sounder operations BNSF's Centrailia North Dispatcher has been assigned the task of lining freight trains through the commuter traffic, as well as routing Amtrak trains. This has lead to close to non-stop action on the Seattle Subdivision during rush hours, and is demonstrated here in Puyallup, just Southeast of Tacoma where Sounder trains come on and off the Lakewood Subdivision. Enjoy the action in this new video!

emergency horn in 6:18

[@AtTheCrossingProductions]

Sure sounds like it! However, that's not actually the case. The K5LLs applied to the Sounder cab cars are sensitive to high air pressure, so if you activate the horn in rapid succession with these cab cars they will make a high pitched noise like that. Still sounds interesting though! The Sounder MP40PH-3Cs have the same problem.

@@AtTheCrossingProductions Yes,the new horns make you cringe every time they use them. Bad choice by Sound Transit.

[@gregjr812]

At The Crossing Productions isn’t that horn used on the Cem cab cars and the MP40PH-3c the K5-CA-LS?

[@isabelaandaj]

Who thought it was a good idea to use K5LLs on both the MP40PH-3C and the CEM cab car.
