Awesome K5LA! Amtrak 54 leads the Coast Starlight

[@noahtomczakfilms183]

Spectacular! 54 is one of my favorites in the fleet, and this one surely has a K5LA to show off!

[@SolanaRailfanner]

The classic P-42 horn❤❤❤

[@railtechadventurer207]

I told ya 54 sounds amazing, Chris. Imagine if any Chargers had a 90's style K5LA, that would be SPLEN-DID!

[@AmtrakCal462]

Ridiculousness!!

[@eclipz4129]

You know what this engine reminds me of? Remember a few years ago when engine 89 had that stellar NF K5LA back in 2014-16? 54 sounds exact like it!

[@CH_343]

YAAAAS you finally got it leading! That 54 isn’t a joke man easily in the top 3 best horns Amtrak has right now! I easily consider 46, 54, and 206 a top 3! The 4 times 54 was leading my train I missed it EACH time which sucks. 54 gives me such 90’s through early 2000’s vibes. Great video my guy and fire K5LA of course!

[@AmtrakCal462]

Those would be my top 3 as well considering 816 is tanked! That 63 is pretty baller too! Ya 54 ain't no joke! 🔥 Thanks!

[@CH_343]

@@AmtrakCal462 Indeed and yeah 816 was a very tough pill to swallow that was a hard loss, I know engine 60 actually sounds a bit similar to 816 it’s not quite on that level but it sounds very familiar to 816 it’s in very good condition too. And YES 63 is on fire!

[@amtrakuprailfanning]

Amazing horn!! I got 54 as well on the Coast Starlight that same day!

[@AmtrakCal462]

Indeed! Ya I saw your vid! 👍

[@amtrakandcsxrailfanning164]

great catches and video of this unit and this long distich train leading anther great K5LA

[@SouthcalRailphotography6908]

Now this is a competitor of 206 and 23

[@citxsd70m-2]

Beautiful horn.

[@AmtrakCal462]

Hell ya! Top of the line

[@OxnardLocalRailfan]

Nice! Saw him flying through Ventura trying to catch 206 (which also had a great horn). 54 was definitely a cool surprise

[@AmtrakCal462]

Ya 206 and 54 are elite! The starlight was the train to see that week regarding K5LA horns!

[@OxnardLocalRailfan]

@@AmtrakCal462 100%. Definitely a wonderful escape from the ALCs haha.

[@railfanryan]

I would’ve seen it had I known it was 54 leading, but I thought it was 206 and got hella confused when I heard 54 from my window

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

Apparently 129 also just got a narrow font and can be added to the list of top horns on amtrak

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

54 sounds awesome, though I think 206 wins easily for me

[@AmtrakCal462]

Ya both awesome but different sounding horns! I'd probably take the 206 as well, it's more unique!
