There’s our F59PHI locomotives from Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner in Southern California and Amtrak Cascades in the states of Oregon, Washington, and parts of Vancouver, Canada....if only Amtrak still kept at least one or two of these in service...I really love those locomotives and when they would lead trains from San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara to Los Angeles and San Diego I’d always love seeing them leading the trains on the surfline and their K5LA horns sounded just as beautiful as they do here with their new owners Chicago Metra in the state of Illinois....it’s a good thing they didn’t scrap them...unlike Metrolink’s solitary F40PH 800....but great video man!!!! I hope to one day catch Amtrak’s F59PHI locomotives with Metra.... :)

God I miss the F59PHI's... Seeing them trundle around through Portland and hearing them in the distance from my childhood home. SO much nostalgia. At least Amtrak's keeping the F40PH's as unpowered units.

That F59PHI Roar gotta love it

At 6:30 That’s the train I filmed yesterday.

the classic F40 at speed was still awesome even though the F59s had epic horns.

I still miss the F59PHI but at least there still in good use

These are the trains of my district I am currently sitting at the train station

Ex Amtrak Surfliner F59PHI

The way the K5LAs sound on the F59phi is a particularly great sound. The precise physical placement of the horn on the locomotive gives it a very particular muffled sound. Much like a mute on a trombone.

very very nice video! thank you!

Nice to hear 463’s horn again

The Pacific Surfliner is the parent of the F59PHI's and they moved out of the house and moved in with metra

Some awesome catches there

Awesome Video! Keep up the great work!

I miss my F59PHi engines! Give them back! Also, it will be interesting to see Metra trains being hauled by six axle engines once their SD units come in.

Three questions. Do you know any way to tell horns of trains. Do you know how to track freight trains and is there a place you know what engine will be on metra

Cascades #470 I believe is in North Carolina

A lot to miss from this video 90 and some others now run on the UP lines 90 as a heritage unit luckily 79 is a lightning bolt that is replacing 160 86 is currently OOS though if it gets scrapped it is getting replaced by an existing F40 to run on the UP lines which I entirely doubt 74,76,79 and 83 are still alive for returning as the retired -2s get their parts back but sadly the rest are away from the MD lines + NCS There were rumors about 168 having its parts back until early march it has collapsed and this means 82 won’t return to MD and NCS

Honestly, one side of me says give California their Surfliners, but another side of me says they look pretty good on Metra. Lets vote!Like = Give Amtrak Surfliner locomotives back.Comment saying "Let Metra Keep It" = Let Metra keep F59 locomotive.

Have you shot trains in wisconsin

Those F59s should have P5s so they sound more like Metra and less like Capitol Corridor

Last time I saw 463 (on the cascades) it sounded like garbage

some of metra’s f59’s were from amtrak, we will respect them till they are dead

Metra 1 off day of the hour

Metra needs or should've keep the original number. I don't like how Metra renumbered their then units

Any nostalgia from the f59? They came from the Surfliner so I wouldn’t be surprised if you do.
