    Amtrak P42DC #54 without a doubt is one of the juiciest K5LA's in the current fleet today! I'd been waiting for it to come out West to SoCal and it finally did about a month ago. It was added in Oakland to the southbound Coast Starlight #11. I went out and snagged it 3 times from Simi Valley down to LA.
    Unfortunately the 54 hasn't led much since these clips back in April, just a few brief runs on the Sunset Limited. As of now it is trailing on the Southwest Chief.
    It's a good one to hear in person, most P42s unfortunately don't sound like this anymore.
    Thanks for Watching!

    You know what this engine reminds me of? Remember a few years ago when engine 89 had that stellar NF K5LA back in 2014-16? 54 sounds exact like it!

    I told ya 54 sounds amazing, Chris. Imagine if any Chargers had a 90's style K5LA, that would be SPLEN-DID!

    Spectacular! 54 is one of my favorites in the fleet, and this one surely has a K5LA to show off!

    Nice! Saw him flying through Ventura trying to catch 206 (which also had a great horn). 54 was definitely a cool surprise

      Ya 206 and 54 are elite! The starlight was the train to see that week regarding K5LA horns!

    YAAAAS you finally got it leading! That 54 isn’t a joke man easily in the top 3 best horns Amtrak has right now! I easily consider 46, 54, and 206 a top 3! The 4 times 54 was leading my train I missed it EACH time which sucks. 54 gives me such 90’s through early 2000’s vibes. Great video my guy and fire K5LA of course!

      Those would be my top 3 as well considering 816 is tanked! That 63 is pretty baller too! Ya 54 ain't no joke! 🔥 Thanks!

      @@AmtrakCal462 Indeed and yeah 816 was a very tough pill to swallow that was a hard loss, I know engine 60 actually sounds a bit similar to 816 it’s not quite on that level but it sounds very familiar to 816 it’s in very good condition too. And YES 63 is on fire!

    I would’ve seen it had I known it was 54 leading, but I thought it was 206 and got hella confused when I heard 54 from my window

    54 sounds awesome, though I think 206 wins easily for me

    • @AmtrakCal462
      @AmtrakCal462  Месяц назад

      Ya both awesome but different sounding horns! I'd probably take the 206 as well, it's more unique!
