I love the first k5la doppler effect

Back when train horns were good.

@@dlane5292 Yes! Just guessing but about 95% of the CSX freight locomotives I hear and see have K5LLA horns. However, once in a while I'm pleasantly surprised when I hear one with an old school K5LA as it brings back fond memories from years gone by.

In 1996 I lived in NJ, near the central station, man it was nice to step into the backyard and hear this kind of beauty. 😌

Wow that makes me jealous, I can picture that image

Amtrak's FL9s were also retrofitted with K5LAs after their original Hancock air whistles were removed, and some of the clips you can find of them in use is absolutely stunning.

@ 2:48 that horn in the distance after it passed does something to me. One of the best horns ever made!

Thank you thank you thank you!! Great footage of F40s and GP40s as well as #doppler effect.

Beautiful, I love the first Gen K5LAs.

Man, those do beat today's K5s....

Well, for one thing, today's K5LAs on Amtrak are almost always placed behind the exhaust stack, which causes the exhaust to distort and foul them. This is because engineers complained of the noise. Also, third-generation K5LAs are tuned to meet the FRAs increasingly-ridiculous regulations.

Milepost 282 Productions Interestingly enough, today's Nathan MicroProcision K5LAs aka 3rd gen K5LAs are actually tuned to play the original chords that the K5LA was originally designed to play from the getgo.

BNSF1995 The 3rd gen, or MP, or Raised Letter K5LAs are plenty loud in person. I believe the FRA failed at that measure. Thankfully

Lovely K5LAs

I see you caught one of the GP40TC's, nice catch :D

Wow I remember taking Amtrak from Florida to Philadelphia as a kid this brings back memories of those horns it's nice to hear them again 😊

Sweetest sound horns! Ironically, because they were so loud and clear sounding, railroads with them have been gradually replacing them with the newer versions which are deliberately dischorded, including the K5LLa.

I read that the K5LLA came out in response to a regulation for a lower fuckin decibel rating for train horns. My guess is that they fuckin lowered the one fuckin bell to give the horn a bit lower pitch to compensate for a lower decibel.

The k5la is a very beautiful horn

Wow, that was good, it brings back memories… I miss the F40-PH

I wish those old engines were still in service like FP7A

Very upbeat and happy sounding.

0:53 Well, hello again future Maine Eastern 488! That's the third time this week it's popped up unexpectedly for me in an Amtrak video! Go figure. Looks like it's being hauled off for maintenance again too... You know, I'm starting to get the impression 488 has a history of mechanical problems.

Even though I was born in 98', I still get a real sense of nostalgia alone just from the the Doppler effect. Really makes me wish I was born earlier just to live in the 90s and see all these genuine Amtrak trains. Not to see all these charger units and k5hl bullshit

great sounds!

all the way with the Nathan K5LA the queen of all train horns

Those beautiful K5LAs are the best!

The P40DCs also had their own batch.

Man those F40phs are some of my favorite Units 3rd to the acs-64 e60 and and the aem - 7

I love the old amtrak horns these are some old videos

Fantastic

Your back

This is how k5las became famous 😊

GRAND TONE!

That gp40tc in the first clip sounded good.

I like the one that emerges from the fog

Is this in New York?

OK BACK THEN CAMERA VOLUME USED TO BE VERY LOUD

Is there anyway to make a k5 from today into one like this matt?

0:14 sound too good :) makes me tearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr a bit :)

I just recently watched the Amtrak youtube video on train horns. Was that you hosting it?

Amazing 4:21

That one clip where a GP40TC is pulling a FL9

I like the P5A’s on the F40PH rather than K5LA!
