High Speed Train Negotiates S Curve in Snow - VIA Rail's New Fleet - VIA #26

[@NorthShoreRails]

Thank you for a clear demonstration of farm crossing signals (and the sick new fleet content)!

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you for watching and glad you like it!! 🙂

[@Steve-xf4uv]

Great shots; cold railfanning ! Love the one on the curve and I've never seen a crossing signal like that either.

[@100m.p.h.]

Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it! The cold winter scenes are great except for freezing 🙂

[@SilverThunder710]

That K5CA almost sounds like a mixed cast P5A at speed

[@MikeSOR]

Pretty interesting crossing gates! Very nice to see it curving around too.

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you! 🙂

[@ispheria3421]

AWESOME video kicking ass on curves in the snow

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

We can respect your opinion. That’s also a Nathan K Low Manifold Horns. The K5CA-LS (KS-1L/1/3B/3) the other Canadian Tuned Horns.

[@chief1b]

Man it looks real cold out. Thanks Cheers!

[@100m.p.h.]

It was a bit chilly for sure! Thank you! 🙂

[@nursingreintegration7074]

Excellent video thanks for sharing

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you! 🙂 Im glad you liked it!

[@rcsrailfaningproductions1225]

Nice video! I don’t think I’ve seen a crossing like that before either

[@daver7465]

I had the same thought, would be interested to know what that's all about. I'm guessing they are private crossings but with a bit of warning lighting added?

[@aeyb701]

Kind of European.

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you! 🙂

[@trainsandboatschannel8777]

Hello my dear friend. Your video is great, I'm very impressed with it, wish you good health and have many good videos to recommend to friends around the world. Best regards from Vietnam Dan Zobell

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you for the kind words! Im glad you like the videos! I will try to make more! 🙂

[@Bill_Gray-Pullman_Travels]

Love the C&O-like livery!

[@100m.p.h.]

For sure it does have that look to it! 🙂

[@historyman5058]

Love this video!!!

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you! 🙂

[@amiltonottoni5619]

Bonito vídeo gostei 👍 👍 🇧🇷

[@BrockvilleRailfan]

Nice shot! Love the last one. Thought it was me for a second, similar setup, I use a Rode mike.

[@100m.p.h.]

Thanks! 🙂 Gotta stay bundled up in these winter conditions! How do you like the Rode mic?

[@BrockvilleRailfan]

@@100m.p.h. , love it. has a nice overall ambiance, great for capturing the horn echos, very rich sound. Had an interim mike when the camcorders built in mike started breaking up when right beside a horn event. The interim was cheap and terrible, mono, Been shooting with the Rode for over a year now and still on the original 9V battery. Only downside is you have to remember to turn it on. You may have seen the one or two silent movies I posted . Still happens occasionally but I don't post those anymore.

[@MattGTrainz]

That's a great spot! I like the angle you used there. I've never tried that one. What video camera do you use. Looks like the same one I used with the fat dead cat on the microphone

[@railtechadventurer]

I see you in the end!

[@100m.p.h.]

Thanks! 🙃

[@larailfan1714]

What’s with the unusual crossing signals?

[@100m.p.h.]

The crossing signals I think are for private farmer crossings that have limited visibility. It lets you know when its safe to cross. With out having all the gates, flasing lights and bells. 1 cheaper and 2 equipment wouldn't damage gates (as they would come down) if by chance they got delayed in clearing the crossing with bigger machinery (tractors, farm, etc)

[@eatonjask]

If VIA gets the go-ahead for HSR, then this curve, beautiful as it is, would have to be straightened. But it makes a great place to shoot train videos, for now.

[@100m.p.h.]

There would probably be a few curves needing straightening. 🙂

[@shauntakata1762]

What's the track speed there? 55mph?

[@Spaceshotx7]

What horns do the new VIA rail fleet have? Doesn't sound like a K5LA?

[@TheRailfan360]

This horn is called the K5CA-LS. For some reason, they're not sounding it as loud as they are on the P42s.

[@devvydoesstuff]

@@TheRailfan360 the horn is similar to K5CA but its made by a different company and sounds slightly different

[@TheRailfan360]

@@devvydoesstuff So they're not Nathan bells at all?

[@TheREALTHAAANG]

​@@TheRailfan360 Someone mentioned it is a kockum sonics horn

[@gtvgranberg]

Kockums "Tyfon" single tone is standard on swedish trains.

[@nasakid35]

Ok, I’m going to through this out there. But is VIA following suit with GO Transit on orientation of the trainset? Montreal (eastbound) locomotive leads. Ottawa (west/north bound), cab car leads. There’s only one test trip last April where it was backwards, cabcar leads eastbound. The two trips in August were locomotive leads eastbound. Just a train of thought. Is there really a true method to which end leads?

[@100m.p.h.]

I wonder if they have decided which end will lead westbound and easbound. I think last April may have been just during the test runs.

[@kitabulu]

Great video, but I wish it was "High Speed"

[@100m.p.h.]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Its about all we have for high speed in Canada.

Thank you! 🙂

[@GamingRailfanner]

👌

[@100m.p.h.]

Thank you! 🙂

[@3985uprr]

Those trains look cool but the horns are unique. Not a pretty sound. I’ll take an M3H

[@rotatorcuffs8140]

Is it just me or are some tracks just needlessly curvy?

[@midmichiganemdrailfan.4187]

Odd Railroad Crossing

[@100m.p.h.]

I think due to the limited visibility thats why the special warning devices/lights. Cheaper thank full gates lights ans bells.
