I'm really gonna miss that Hybrid K5LA horn once these Acelas retire, but either ways, the horns on the new Avelia Liberty trains are cool and funny sounding at times.

I've taken Amtrak from this station a few times; it truly is a beautiful, vintage place.

So much going on at the New London station. Amtrak and Shoreline East Commuter rail, Car ferries to Orient Point on the East tip of Long Island and Fisher's Island, the Coast Guard training clipper ship Eagle and submarines from Electric boat often cruising up and down the Thames River. A great place to hangout.

I love the battle between the train and ship horns

Why is there still a grade crossing in 2018? trains can go 130+mph but sure lets have a grade crossing. Why is New London a Union Station. its only been served by one railroad. (well 3 through mergers. New Haven, PC, and Amtrak). I think its the only railroad station where the platforms are separated by a grade crossing.
