North Carolina Amtrak Trains!

[@365DaysofRockNRoll]

I live in NC and regularly see these trains everyday. Thanks for the support of NC

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

Me to bro

[@mrb0bofficial811]

same

[@SirensOfNC]

I live in NC too.

[@nicolasgoldring7128]

I really love the horns of the Amtrak Piedmont. Unlike the standard Amtrak, there's something about these horns that make them sound so beautifully terrifying, like the screams of a devil rising up from the flames of the underworld.

[@usstiger_cd4165]

I live in North Carolina and I am glad I do. I saw the 611, Silver Star, Piedmont, and Carolinian in this state.

[@usstiger_cd4165]

also I have seen Thomas and Tweetse Railroad

[@ncrailfan1869]

Awesome video! Thanks for showcasing North Carolina.

[@CoasterFan2105]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@piedmontrailproductions4046]

I live NC so train all day

[@Railviation]

The NCDOT's F59PHI horns sound different than the ones we used to have on the Surfliner!

[@luckyrail23]

They are beautiful, I must say.

[@Texas_North]

Agreed I miss the f59s I grew up with their amazing beautiful 2nd gen k5las

[@CoasterFan2105]

Yes, they're a little different!

[@christiel7439]

I can Tell

[@atheman90]

They kinda sound the same when I hear them.

[@hectora7479]

I rode my first Amtrak train in North Carolina last week from college, on the piedmont of course!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Nice!

[@jamesthomas2163]

Thanks, great video. An interesting fact is the trackage is actually owned by the North Carolina Railroad, a state owned company. NC built it in the 1850's, spent most of its life leased to Southern, then Norfolk Southern. It is now operated with freight rights to NS.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you James, I was not aware of that!

[@christopherbentley5216]

Great to see North Carolina railways. By looking at the track, a lot of money has been spent. Must pop over and see it,the location looks gorgeous

[@CoasterFan2105]

Yes, there are a lot of nice locations along the route.

[@Railfaner341]

You gotta love those F59PHI horns

[@YeahRailfan]

That familiar sound that brings us socal foamers to a better time

[@Texas_North]

SanDiegoRailfan399 yep we all know

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

3 Locomotives seems like over kill!

[@karlrovey]

One might just be along for the ride then.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Yeah, seems like a lot! My guess is that one of them was just on the train for testing after repair work or qualifying them for entering service.

[@System6VideoProductions]

The piedmont’s trains are cool, same for Norfolk southern, awesome video.

[@James_lirr-ict_catches]

Lirr train

[@System6VideoProductions]

James Kinard DE30AC

[@James_lirr-ict_catches]

I see the lirr because I live in long island

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you, yes they are!

[@James_lirr-ict_catches]

Ok

[@TrashBulldogProductions]

Saw the thumbnail, had to click on it! That's how much of an F59PH fan I am. The Piedmont units have some serious K5LA's, really dig that metallic tone.

[@amtrak706]

That’s a great way to describe that, I like it! That sound is a result of EMD’s practice of overpressurizing the air system and not restricting the horn inlet. You can hear it on early SD70MACs as well, they did this on all locomotives made from about 1993 to 2000. Not sure why.

[@AllAboardAudio.]

Stuart Alvarez These EMD units are equipped with solenoid valves as opposed to actuating manual ones. These horns sound brash due to a high rate of pressurized air, somewhere around 140-150 PSI.

[@average_joe8905]

Same here

[@CoasterFan2105]

They're about to get several more too!

[@MFPTransitVideos]

Amazing train action you’ve got there coasterfan!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you!

[@BecauseHeLives39]

Thank you so much for showcasing some NC trains!! Me and my mamaw always go to see the “Star Train” as we call it when it comes in Salisbury

[@superbaddy4]

You probably already know this, but NCDOT is expanding their F59PH fleet by buying several of the units being retired by Metrolink, having already prepared 853, 859, and 871 for entry. I'm glad they're building a good "F59 Safe Haven".

[@coolleo149]

Well let’s hope their horns don’t get too bad, cause that’s what happened to the other ones for the Pacific Surfliner, and the cascades

[@superbaddy4]

They just need to cut the P2s off (as they're buying them from Metrolink) and then re-mount the K5LAs up in front right above the cab, and all will be good.

[@superbaddy4]

They could instead use P5s then.

[@coolleo149]

But when it gets a little close, it’s not that hard to hear

[@CoasterFan2105]

I think 2 or 3 are to be cab cars and the others are going to get some sort of Tier 4 upgrades. In terms of the horns, the sound on the F59 is different more because of the air supply than the horn itself.

[@rapidthrash1964]

I live in NC and rode these trains throughout my college years; thanks for featuring them (might even catch the townhouse I used in Charlotte which happened to be across a road from the tracks)

[@CoasterFan2105]

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@nathancorcoran5347]

I've never been to North Carolina before but I would love to go there sometime in the future and taking videos of trains.

[@CoasterFan2105]

It's worth the trip!

[@lauren9326]

Funny you uploaded this today. My 2 1/2 year old son has been obsessed with your videos and we’re actually boarding the piedmont to visit my mom in a few hours 😂

[@CoasterFan2105]

Haha, that really is pretty funny!

[@CORYJOHNM]

This will be my first train ride. It looks like it scoots along pretty fast.

[@evannationarmy7769]

Yessss! My state! Edit: Can you do NC train altogether?

[@COWBOI28]

I'm from NC too

[@CoasterFan2105]

I want to eventually!

[@evannationarmy7769]

CoasterFan2105 Nice

[@noahtomczakfilms183]

Outstanding video, Mike! Many thanks for showcasing North Carolinas train!

[@CoasterFan2105]

You're very welcome - thanks for watching!

[@apr859]

Why so they need three locos for three coaches on the state supported trains

[@danielgarepisholland]

so that the engine can be moved somewhere to be put on another train possibly? PTC could be another reason

[@CoasterFan2105]

My guess is testing after repair work.

[@TimothyRogersRailfanning]

Good ole NC! Glad we gave ya some good action Mike!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Sure did! Thanks for watching!

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Very nice video of all the passenger trains.

[@amtrak706]

When did they start putting their entire locomotive roster on one train? Lol

[@CoasterFan2105]

Haha I think they were testing one of the locomotives after repairs but I could be wrong.

[@nolantherailfan5048]

Man those horns are loud

[@sebastianfloyd372]

CoasterFan2105 Amtrak Piedmont still has F59PHs and F59PHIs right?

[@MiddleboroLakevilleRailfan]

Sebastian Floyd what else do they have lol

[@hb2702]

Nothing makes me happier than your videos! Oh and BTW, I see these ar my local railroad crossing!

[@southerncrescentproductions]

Awesome video!! Will you do more videos in NC? Also did you visit the new Amtrak station in Raleigh

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks and I hope to eventually! I have not gotten a chance to see the new Raleigh station yet.

[@piedmontrf81]

I Love seeing my state being featured on CF2105! Another great video Mike!

[@back2shoving]

Nice video still can't believe another piece of Amtrak's history is leaving..... the viewliners

[@CoasterFan2105]

I think the Viewliners will be around for quite a while. All the new baggage cars are viewliners as well. Thanks for watching!

[@AVeryRandomPerson]

Do you mean the NCDOT owned cars? If so, they got a FRA grant to replace most of them

[@felixthetrainfan4819]

Awesome video coaster fan and what kind of engine is that and where

Amazing Vid as always Mike and me and my Mom were thinking of taking a Long distance Train for our next Vacation and if it was up to you which one is good from Chicago

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thank you! The two with the best scenery are probably the Empire Builder and the California Zephyr, but they're all great!

[@ultramanbelial3790]

I was actually thinking of the California Zephyr cause I always wanted to head to the Pacific and see the Rocky Mountains but it's a hard Choice to be Honest

[@northlanderdude]

Nice. Nice seeing those old GO Transit F59PH's still being used. What type of coaches are those N.C. cars??

[@vadmscheer]

The cars come from a variety of different backgrounds, including a few former USA hospital cars. All went through extensive rebuilds after purchase by NCDOT. They are pretty nice to ride in.

[@capefeartrainsandsirens]

[@silverengine3769]

Why does the Piedmont Corridor need three locomotives to pull 3 and 4 coaches?

[@CoasterFan2105]

I think that one of them was being tested following repair work.

[@larailfan1714]

Those Piedmont trains should get Chargers. What area your favorite crossing bells?
