Man I am gonna miss those Acelas when there gone. But really excited for the Avelias to come into service next year! Great catches!

[@RomanoRailfanning]

The new acela horn is so bad

[@RomanoRailfanning]

The old Acela is legendary

@@RomanoRailfanning fOaMeR!1!1111111 THE NEW ACELA HORN IS GOOD oops caps >:D argue with P00ch13 if you think its bad, you will regret it

[@MSNWindows7]

@@RomanoRailfanning Agreed. the horns in other countries don't have the same powerful feeling as horns in the US like the legendary k5la and others. The old Acela and P42s are loud and powerful, and the horn lines up with that thinking and that's where a lot of us find trains cool. Sort of how plane spotters like a good n' loud MD-80 -- you can feel the power and it gives you a rush. But the odd thing is, the louder the engine, the less efficient it is. So as trains become more quiet to become more efficient, a lot of us loose out on that powerful feeling when a train goes by. And the European horn sort of embodies that "this is a light-weight efficient train" ... like the 'smart car' mentality of trains. Sort of sad, since I'll really miss those beefy trains Amtrak is retiring. Don't get me wrong, high speed trains like the TGV are really cool -- one of my favorite train rides was on a TGV going 180+ mph, watching the land just glide by -- but there's something cool some of us like about those noisy, "inefficient" trains.

[@ncard00]

They ahould’ve gotten high acceleration trains instead of high speed, with the low average speed and all the curves of the NEC, would give much better service, something like the Alstom Coradia Stream, a 125mph EMU with S train level acceleration.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

That is one hell of a zoom at 7:04. Excellent shots. Can't wait to ride that new Acela.

[@ericdelisle5469]

I love the Avelia’s horn.

[@Gogalen789]

How about the opening harmonica prelude to the song, "Suicide Blonde" from INXS for a train horn ?

[@versedbridge4007]

Same here, I love the people who get salty lol

[@Trainfan1055Janathan]

I don't get why people hate the two-tone horn. I think it's a nice deviation from only using one type of horn on their locomotives. Plus it's unique. My favorite horns are the two-tone horn on the TGV, BR Class 37, BR Class 47, The Music Horn on the Narita Express and the flute whistles on the HOT7000 and JRF EF66.

[@samanli-tw3id]

Two-tone horn doesn’t sound American

[@PsyTechnical]

Insufferable

[@amtrakdude432]

i agree and don't agree at the same time. it's a nice experience to hear a two tone horn from europe but it doesn't sound american

[@cliffordporteriii6625]

I agree. It doesn’t sound American. EuroTrash yes, American, NO. Everybody be safe.

[@ChimmyAnimate]

People need to realize that train horns are used for safety = attention and not meant to sound nice

[@goodrails]

Very nice! Hope you are enjoying the beautiful New England autum and getting more shots.

[@CommodoreJames]

10:38 its da sound of da police

[@NortheastCorridorFilms]

Ambulance

[@NogMoreLikeNi-]

European horn

[@brettheeley3836]

The horn on the old Acela sounds SO much better than the new one!

[@jamesinman1198]

Those Avelia trains rock! And the regional Amtrak trains really rock!

[@jaredrocha9718]

I’m pretty sure I caught the p42’s in Mansfield that day, but I keep missing the new Acela testing

[@kerrysmith5269]

It would be nice if they keep the older Acela train sets and use them in regular service. And I hope they change the horns on the new ones.

[@BlakewallsGriffin]

At 10:38 was the best part ngl❤❤❤❤

[@BlakewallsGriffin]

Between 10:30 and 10:51

[@TravelingMadness959]

I'm such a fan of the new acela train (Avelia Liberty) including all of its features, but i think that the old acela should still remain in service at the same time 🙌🙌

[@FanRailer]

Would you like to pay for their maintenance then?

[@Mrcharles.]

I wouldn’t mind that. After all my tax dollars are going to a good cause.

[@TravelingMadness959]

@@FanRailer It would be an honor

[@derbyphoter]

from a Brit, lovely video , cracking line-siding in the best traditions

[@jamesinman1198]

I like those new avelia amtrak trains. Those things are cool!

[@jacksonpugh6423]

6:00 it’s the new Acela!!❤😂🎉😅😊😮

[@filanfyretracker]

that is so wild to see those T trains running diesel when they have overhead electric right there. Would think they would have dual mode locomotives just to save on fuel costs.

[@FFred-us9tw]

The fuel savings aren’t worth the cost and hassle with switching to electrics.

[@GalenlevyPhoto]

Nice thing that Amtrak avelia can expand to add more cars for more riders in the future. The old Acela can’t do that.

[@FFred-us9tw]

Sure it can. It’s been done. They have run test trains of the current Acela with 10 cars and typically once a month run it with 7 cars. Adding a coach is not a big. Amtrak simply has no spare coaches to use and the maintenance buildings can’t fit anything larger than 6 coaches in normal service.

[@jamesinman1198]

I LOVE Amtrak trains! I LOVE Amtrak trains! Amtrak trains are my friends! 🙂

[@kevinhoward9593]

I'm eager to ride the new trains.

[@ABMP4D3]

That grade crossing must have been removed around Acela time? Great video, let me know

[@alexmcface]

Hello everybody... how was your day

[@Will-im5qi]

Well painted cars makes a ton of difference

[@railfanning.productions]

thats how you know its the Master of the Northeast Rails

[@Zsullivan27]

5:57 what A unexpected surprise.

[@gacj2010]

Any idea when the new one I saw here be in service

[@gacj2010]

BTW .. that regional goes along at a good clip too

[@peterfrank29]

Old Acela needs both pantograph the new Acela only uses one

[@StefanWithTrains]

yeah that is how we do it in europe only 1 pantograph

[@frankortolano5886]

The new Liberty color scheme is like a circus train

0:06 I see you left your car open Mike. Must have been in a hurry to get that shot.

[@FanRailer]

lmao you missed the person in the car, apparently.

HEY i saw 616 yesterday goping to PSNY edit: oops, it was 606, not to mention, it was a Keystone

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

i love that Model Y door shot :p

[@FanRailer]

lol that's a model X. The Y doesn't have gullwing doors.

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

@@FanRailer oh, sorry. My friend is wrong then. I had a feeling it was the X but I thought you had the Y for some reason.

Amtrak traffic Rocks!

[@Gamerguy-501]

How much you wanna Dovetail is gonna get this train into Train Sim World 2

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

They won’t. You’ll have to realign it because they’ll probably cater Europe for that more.

Great job

It is european horn

[@larailfan1714]

12:01-The new horn is not safe. It could be confused for a siren right there! It sound awful too.

[@NogMoreLikeNi-]

Well this sounded like an european horn

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

Bruh it’s safe, siren’s don’t sound like that in the US

[@elperenza]

It passed tests, so it's perfectly safe. Considering european trains have them and they're safe, there's nothing to worry about

[@joshuangoje9363]

The new acelas are in service or still in tests

[@FFred-us9tw]

Still testing

The aveila is growing on me but that horn has to go

[@Jhihmoac]

Of course the high speed trains get faster! You gotta figure there's some situations where multimillion dollar deals ride on a bunch of honches from all over, having to _all_ be at one specific place, at a specific time!

[@nicblaze6428]

Cant get behind the new color way…

[@albertcyphers1532]

One of those older acela trains with the white unpainted nose cone has a body. It hit a car in Waterford CT and killed the driver

[@FFred-us9tw]

There are no Acela’s with white nose cones. And the incident you are talking about killed 3 people, not one. And all the Acela’s have killed people at least once.

[@fabriciobengozi9650_Railfan]

Uau

[@johnchow8372]

Acela is high speed? 🤦‍♂️

[@adamferko1729]

America Copy Europe train high speed 🤣🤣🤣
