Auto Train with new P40's

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

Of course the K5LA sounds awesome because these locomotives were brand spanking new at the time

[@ablassingame1619]

It’s an early generation of k5s. K5la’s have definitely gone through an evolution of tuning. The horn tuning in this video barely exists anymore

[@2119official]

Sounds amazing those K5LA’s! 😮

[@brandomgamingandtraining777]

back when Amtrak had no problem operating 37 car trains

[@juliancolesmusic]

That K5LA sounds so good

[@juniors2sexy]

Couldn’t agree with u more smooth

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

I love the horn on that P40DC

[@OwlEye2010]

A shame no Genesis engine today bears those three blinking lights above the windshield.

[@cecilpullen1085]

That clicking of the weels are so good

[@M80T]

I miss the Amtrak phase 3 from the 1990s 😢

[@shammshaw7901]

Amtrak 803 was retired in lordstown train graveyard

[@zacharycalgher3978]

Not anymore. The 803 alongside sister units 801 802 and 839 are being rebuilt in repainted in Keewatin Railway colors at Wabtec in Albia Iowa.

[@aaronsanderlin7031]

@@zacharycalgher3978not 839 it damaged it derails so there put it to scrap

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

I truly miss the older appearance of Amtrak’s auto train with the single level passenger cars and all of those scenic dome cars on the train I wish I was old enough to see it in person but I was born a year after this video was taken which would be 1994 so this video was actually taken 31 years ago

[@KevinCNYC1991]

I like how the Genesis' ditch lights are not on.

[@christophercarey3232]

And the strobes are in place.

Now an oldie goldie with some of the original AutoTrain Corp equipment, including the original autoracks.

Great k5la

[@AmtrakCal462]

Great K5LA!!

[@dwkcamman611]

Love it!!! Nice work!!!

[@coolleo149]

They look like P42DC locos to me

[@christophercarey3232]

They both look similar except the P40DC came before the P42DC.

[@C60AC]

Right, they look similar but the P40s had faded stripes toward the back, strobe lights above the cab, a black windshield divider, and were in the 800 number series, and came out about 4 years before the 42s.

[@christopherreiff3192]

This was in the 1990's.

[@RockvilleTrainFan]

Nice K5LA

[@pdwman]

That was amazing!

[@Nachtwolf1]

Awesome, nice look at the best era of Amtrak. When was this?

[@Unknown_Ooh]

Apparently you didn't even make it to the ten second mark of the video 😂

[@nononononon494]

Sad they are not in service p40dcs we’re my favourite Amtrak locos :( because I like their paint

[@RockvilleTrainFan]

Yeah some are gone, most sold to ConnDot, 822 is Wrecked, and only a couple P40S are left, 824 at least

[@citxsd70m-2]

11 units remain active with Amtrak right now. I am not even sure if 822 will see a comeback. I’ve been told it might knowing that it’s heritage unit. But I doubt it will as the new ALC-42s are slowly rolling into service. The 11 remaining units right now: P40s 814-817, 821, 824, 830-832, 835, and 837 remain with Amtrak as of now.

Amtrak Auto Train

[@MapleManYT]

The train is good, but the amfleets more than dome? Thats something that makes me wish auto train was independent

[@ellebystrainvideos2023.]

Awesomeness!!!

[@Canadian_Winters]

Luckily 805 is still around, just outside of the Wabtec facility in Erie, PA Possibly being rebuilt but who knows

[@engineerpat5290]
