While most of these Raised Letter K5LAs almost all of them have now are pretty good (2307 and 2310 being the clear best), it's just a shame that the diversity of different horns among them is going down. Especially felt it hard when 2306 came back and it lost its old Hybrid "K5HL" K5LA. I hope 2302 lasts a long time before its horn gets replaced (though I don't care about 2301, because it's easily the worst of the entire fleet and needs an improvement).
And the new CEM Cab Cars will all have K5CAs guaranteed. Alstom actually has a policy that forces all the CEM Cabs to have only K5CAs, and the railroads aren't allowed to swap them out for anything else.
Not sure which is the best so far of what they sound like right now, but the Raised Letter K5LA on these are VERY LOUD. I do miss what they sounded like before the Raised Letter horns.
I wonder why Coaster Bombardier cab car 2304 hasn't lead any southbound Coaster trains lately. I just want to hear cab car 2304's current horn sound, assuming it's a raised letter K5LA like other Coaster Bombardier cab cars (except 2301 with original).
I found a video where an amtrak F40PH almost ran to a bicycle because it was sent to track 1 because track 2 freight traffic and 90278 pulled the emergency brakes
2303 is the worst for me, a K5LA only playing 2 notes is never a fun noise. I actually love 2301 for it’s squeaky K5LA, and at full blast it sounds fine, I’ve heard much worse from coaster especially at the tail end of the cab car’s original horns.
I agree with both of your opinions. 2303’s horn kinda reminds me of the legendary horn it used to have which was one of my favorite K5LAs of all time. Thanks for watching!

Different year variations were only included if the unit had received a horn/bell upgrade over the times I’ve caught it.
2306, 2307, 2308, and 2310 rock!
@@luiselapostolfeliz2421 2305 as well
2301 is my favorite horn, like I've never heard a horn that can sound SO jazzy.
Yes I agree!! Thanks for the comment
@@surfliner456 👍🏾
Me too! 😊
@@surfliner456the horn is amazing and the design on the front looks amazing
2305 IS SO FIRE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've seen 2301 and I even caught 2309 when I went to Carlsbad back in January!
Nice
2310 is so underrated!!!
2308's Horn In 2021, And 2022 Sounds A Lot Better Than It's Horn In 2018.
lol yep

Yeah, I fear in the near future the entire fleet will be RLs 😢

@@superbaddy4 Bruh
@@superbaddy4 it sucks that Alstom is forcing cem cab cars to have K5CA horns Colin’s playmobil channel is an idiot

2308 sounds like what SEPTA 2307 did
It does🤣 thanks for watching!
I really love 2307s horn
Me too! Thanks for watching
2302 is my fav
Nice collection!
Thank you!!
That’s awesome!

That would be boring, it should keep its k5ca.

Nice!!
Thanks for watching!
Squeaky 2301 :3
You already know 2304 best cabcar
they no run no mo 😔😢
@@surfliner456 yea😢 no mo no
Well, it’s better than it’s fouled K5LA it used to have in the 2010s
@@djmasterty2309 Thats what i mean
@@Railfanner2306 I definitely like Raised Letter K5LA horns better though.
But Since 2301s e bell cant be used because 2302 is blocking it😁
Amazing video
Thank you!
Nice! Can I use some of these clips for ts? I will give credit
For horns?

That horn is better than it’s K5CA
@@sebastianmunera5470 it absolutely is, but out of the K5LA cab cars 2303 sounds the worst by a long way
@@basictransportenthusiast4386 I like this horn
I wish they ripped the chokes out of 2301/2302
I agree
2301 sounded bad even before the chokes, I actually think 2301 got better after it got restricted
It was louder
@@easternroutemainlinevideos6823 but still more fouled than the rest of them alongside 2304, those two were always the let down cabcars
A bit of cleaning and repair can fix that issue
2301😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
Muh
love it
The heck I see piant is ripping on 2301
Yep lol the wrap is falling off, some foamers even had the audacity to pull it off further
Dang
Anyways love your video
@@marcocampos2332 thanks!!
😊
are 2306 2309 and 2310 painted or wrapped?
2309 2310 is painted and I’m pretty sure 2306 is too
@@surfliner456 oh yeah
bro why the hell does 2304 have a k5ca
Seeing as it has now gone for overhaul, its highly likely that 2304 now has a RL K5LA, or will have one when it comes back

Is the paint really wearing off those already?
It wasn't paint, just a wrap. It was peeled off by a combination of the wind and foamed deciding to steal some of its wrap.
@@surfliner456 lol that'll teach them to not respect the polls (I remember when they held a poll for the new paint scheme)
@@poorbrokenhorn they scrapped all those ideas i heard it was because Siemens didn't let them put their own paint scheme on the chargers
@@surfliner456 aw that's just rude.
2301 is the best one
4:37 retired
Yup
No, it most certainly is not retired. The damage wasn't even that severe. It'll be repaired and back in service again before you even know it.
@@superbaddy4 It is dead. Will no longer run again. If it does it will be in a long long time. Internal structural things were damaged
@@surfliner456It just the Window, it should be Repaired
@@R262SubwayTrain No. it will not be repaired. I have talked to employees at coaster who confirmed this.
God dang 2304 sounds loud and godam awful 😣
very loud and very not awfu. these horns are K5CA and they are on all of the new CEM cabcars entering service soon
