NEW COASTER CAB CAR LEADING TEST TRAIN!!! (2024)

On May 1, 2024 the brand new NCTD Coaster cab car lead a test train southbound through Leucadia!

[@novawaregamestudios]

This Train was literally my Childhood. And this, this just makes me happy.

[@onlineconsumer9]

Sweet catch!

[@natesmainlinevids]

Can't wait to see these if I can when I head down to San Diego this July for a rugby match!

[@SurflinerGirl]

I’m going in July 😦

That horn you guys hear is called a Nathan K5CA-LS Emergency horn, From GO Transit and Exo Trains

[@YaowenLiu304]

It also sound like a Sunrail horn

[@therailfannerofwesternwa]

Yeah they also have those on Sounder trains

[@Schmalspurfan7]

The horn sounds amazing

The CEM cabcar actually looks pretty fitting. GO Transit is doing the same thing, anyway.

[@SDRailfan]

I like the look, just hate the horn with a burning passion

[@BambooBlox]

Man I wanna see that

[@therailfannerofwesternwa]

Those are called the CEM cabcars

[@ElizaLaSalle]

Note: those cars will be in service forever and never will retire

[@NorthCountyRailfan]

are you dumb

[@Amtrak661_Railfan]

they better change that horn

[@xavierkunzavi5209]

I love the horn 😥

[@Just_Luckyyyyyyyy2009]

Hear ACE 3312’s horn

[@WCE107]

Pretty K5CA

[@Loki_Konwrath]

nice catch! i just wanna know why they are replacing the old cab cars with those. i dont like the way they look i prefer the ones i saw growing up lol

[@TracksideKitchener]

They are not replacing the old cab cars. They are just for service expansions

[@Loki_Konwrath]

@@TracksideKitchener well yk what? thats good news then lol i got scared for a second thanks for letting me know that :)

Go transit started this lady’s and gentlemen

[@CrazyMarioRailfan2]

Why does it have a K5H?

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

I heard that horn while on VIA Rail

[@CSB5003]

Lookin good

[@sixfifty_sebb]

I wonder why ACE and Coaster didint even bother to change the horn, it’s not mandated to have K5CA’s here, ACE should’ve put the musical and magical K5LA horn, Coaster too

[@sebastianmunera5470]

Alstom made it mandatory for all of the cem cab cars to wear a K5CA and the railroads aren’t allowed to replace them

[@sixfifty_sebb]

@@sebastianmunera5470 so Alstom is basically just like Ferrari where you can’t even make changes 💀

[@sebastianmunera5470]

@@sixfifty_sebb yes but I don’t know much about Ferrari

[@OHCERailfan]

The Horn & Bell In The Video Sounds Like GO Transit

[@SDRailfan]

It’s the exact same manufacturer/company.

[@MasenMonster]

Why in the world are they using a K5CA-LS...? That thing is meant to only be used in emergencies, NOT in regular passenger service!

[@SDRailfan]

@@MasenMonster The cab cars are manufactured in Canada and so is the K5CA. They do suck. GO, ACE, Sounder, and Coaster run the new cab car and crappy K5CA horns, VIA runs with the horns only.

[@ALKT2023]

When will those new cab cars come out in san diego?

[@SDRailfan]

@@ALKT2023 Coaster (NCTD) said Summer 2024, but I still haven’t seen them out on the mainline yet.

[@zackstrainproductions2095]

Cool! looks nice!

[@Trainsandplanesforlife]

Oh no no NO

[@frkylo]

K5CA Sounds Like An Elephant 🤮🤮

[@traindudeaaa]

EWWW IS THAT DUMP TRUCK REPLACING THE NORMAL CABCARS???

[@SDRailfan]

Yup

[@traindudeaaa]

I hate my life

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

I've seen much worse...
