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

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

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

They look like P42DC locos to me
@christophercarey32325 жыл бұрын
They both look similar except the P40DC came before the P42DC.
@C60AC3 жыл бұрын
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.

Yeah some are gone, most sold to ConnDot, 822 is Wrecked, and only a couple P40S are left, 824 at least
@citxsd70m-22 жыл бұрын
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.
