Just can't get enough of these things! They're very perrrdy!

[@jlbraswell5961]

I really like how the new trains have identical the identical lead cars on each end of the train versus the old trains.

[@dennisthebrony2022]

Yeah, the old train cab cars look like the train is going backwards, even though it really isn’t.

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

beautiful, but why are the brakes so loud?!

These trains are so magical i had fun yesterday

[@johnfalkenstine8377]

Very nice! Now let’s get rid of the outdated warning bell.

[@peterweber79]

As a resident, I would go crazy with this constant ringing. A relic from the steam locomotive era? It seems so. It would be more modern to announce the arrival of the train at the station in question...

No Bells are fine in general. This one specifically is incredibly annoying. The Graham white e bell that Siemens uses on their charger locomotives is perfect

[@mikegaskin5542]

@@goldenstateaviation2861 In the DACH region where this train is from, high-speed services will woosh right through the station with no horn, bell, announcement, flashing lights or platform edge doors. You just gotta watch out for yourself

@@peterweber79It's a relic from the early days of railroading in the US, where there was a lot of on-street running. British trains don't have bells because there were no on-street sections in the early days.

The bell is a standard warning sign of a moving train. Most rule books instruct the engineer to sound the bell when starting to move, or when moving slowly through a congested area(like a station or grade crossing)
