Like for a 60 second horn.
I would say to sound that Raised Letter Nathan Airchime Raised Letter K5LA!
Yes!
“Can’t get him to blow it correctly”. Well actually according to the FRA:
The train must use the horn in a 2x Long 1 Short 1 Long, *UNTIL THEY CLEAR THE CROSSING*
They are saying he is laying on the horn
@@surfliner456 if only he actually was
@@surfliner456 he isn't laying on the horn is what they mean.
@@CTSLRailfan Yes he is, you can hear it in the video
@@surfliner456 you can hear the spaces between the long long short long. there's no actual rule for how long to blow each long and short. only the 15 to 20 seconds before reaching the crossing.
Encinitas has multiple crossings withing short distance of each other. Love how the old guy mentions its one long obnoxious blast when you can obviously hear multiple, albeit very short, breaks.
Another person that probably does not live near this street. Or has seen the change in the last 6-9 months.
He said it is one particular driver -dude. Train geek no less. Nothing wrong with trains but you seem biased. No? I see you are from this area? knowing the crossings.
Next up: DAMN YOU CLOUDS!!!!
@@MidnightAspec Oooh that was a clever one. I will give you that one.
@@popeyedog1087 I never pass up an opportunity to quote grandpa Simpson. LOL!
The rule is 20 seconds per crossing. There's 2 crossings...
Theres 3 if you count the Pedestrian Crossing but ur point still stands
The rule is begin blowing not more than 20 seconds and not less than 15 seconds before reaching the crossing.
Well there's a rule called a 14L which the Engineer is suppose to do it goes Long, Long, Short, and Long the 14L typically lasts for around 10-15 seconds.
That part
I live next to an SP line that runs freight trains through my neighborhood several times a day. Because it has to snake though several streets of our neighborhood, there is audible horn blowing for about 5~8 minutes depending on the the length & speed of train. We love it, it is part of our neighborhood character and life. It drive some people nuts (they are on Yelp all the time). Just move.
If that is routine then Ok. But this situation is different. It has become much different in the last 9 months due to construction and so called protocols that are not consistant at all. Come down and see for your self. You move . Or where should I move to buddy mr. know it all. I was born here and know athing or two about this nirghbor hood. Fucking move?
These whiners would never have liked living near the tracks back when steam locomotives were still running. The engineers used to "sing" me to sleep late at night with the whistle. I miss that sound now.
I like the freight trains. they are long and polite.

What’s the problem? Safety first. Horns save lives. I salute this engineer who wants people to be aware of his approach. Nobody will ever get killed by his train. As a frequent observer of trains I have heard many engineers blowing the horn improperly and not providing enough warning so I truly appreciate this engineers diligence. I guarantee you sir the Railroad was there before you were. Why did you move there???
Simply put it: Obnoxious. Like what the gentlemen said. Old people don't need to hear loud noises. He said he loved trains, just be chill with the horn. That's all.

When those trains go 60-85 mph they need to make sure that everybody knows that it’s coming and these days with stupid drivers and pedestrian trying to beat it it is understandable that this engineer is doing it.

I imagine this engineer does not give a crap about quiet zones because he doesn't want to hit someone. Hitting a person is a railroad engineer's nightmare and can have long-lasting effects on an engineer's mental health and wellbeing. Better a few seconds of noise than somebody going splat on the front of a train.
Yeah
Yeah my grandma had a neighbor who at one point was an engineer and had killed some people and it fucked his head big time
Or he could just follow the horn regs 🤷♂️
bruh, train horns sound so good.
What a great life!! Your only complaint is a 30 sec train horn. Wow!!
Hes saving lives that engineer, i respect him, the old guy complaining is a NIMBY and cant understand that the horn is needed
Love this comment section! I'm with the majority of people that want to know a train is coming. Keep on doing what you're doing Amtrak engineer/engineers. My advice to the people complaining, move or just deal with the 30 second annoyance. My job is annoying every second of every day spent working and I put up with 50 hours of it a week.
It would be a lot worse if the engineer was doing that at the middle of the night. And besides, what wasn't mentioned was that there is 2 street crossings meaning the engineer has to repeat the train horn sequence for each crossing, so you can expect to hear the horn for at least 30-40 seconds.
Gee wiz, one guy has literally spent his entire time replying to every single last comment as if he's the man in the video (which I'm convinced he is). Don't buy next to transportation infrastructure (highways, railroad, ship yards/ports, and airports) if you're sensitive to the sound. If it were such a huge problem, then the city council would've approached Amtrak by now. Did I mention someone was killed 5 years ago in Encinitas? The conductor saw her running towards the train and couldn't stop it in time. This man says it's been going on for several years now, so how do we know it's not because of this incident or others like it that's causing the constant train blowing?? Did I also mention Amtrak comes through there at high speeds at times?? Just move dude.
You are welcome to look me up. I am not the old guy who mentions ONE DRIVER. Try reading what I have to say before judging. PS. I was born here and until 6 months ago, Everything was fine with me. Do some research.

I get the complaint but it isn't the engineer's fault for constantly blowing the horn. It's literally his (and every engineer's) job to blow the horn sequence at every crossing. There's 2 crossings (3 if you count the ped x-ing). So it's obvious that you should hear the horn blowing for about 30-60 seconds. As a train enthusiast, ofc i love hearing horns. If you have a problem with train horns, then move out. Move to a place with a no horn zone like chicago, if u still love trains. More questions to ask: What did you expect? Why did you even move there in the first place? Disagree with me if you want, idc. This is what i think, my opinion, and should go with anyone who wants to live in noisy places like this.
I 100% agree there! All Hail the Potato Horn!!! Support the train horns and say no to Quiet Zones and/or propositions for quiet zones!
@@djmasterty2309 dam right!
No horn zones are honestly pretty stupid too.
To much time on his hands... go to the beach and chill out... Will you be crying about the horn if a person or vehicle gets hit by a train? Just sayin...
If you were an engineer who has hit a pedestrian, you would most likely blast the horn as this engineer is doing.

The only real issue here as usual is with the news station's reporting on the matter!
Looks like there are two grade crossings before the station, E street and D street, and the Amtrak is running at speed at the time. So engineer is likely following the rules. Be rest assured if the train hit someone or something, there would be every state and federal investigation in the book done on the engineer, every bit of video footage used to be sure the horn sounded long enough, and every reason imaginable used to find them at fault.

Probably hit someone once because people are ignorant to trains. This condo committee hasn't experienced a tragedy like that ever. So sick of whiners who live near train tracks that have been there since before condos.
No offense to the residents but as a crossing requires 20 seconds, technically he isnt laying on it long enough as theres three crossings in that specific area, im sorry but if i was an engineer id rather blow on my horn for as long as possible rather then for minimums and have deaths on my conscience and record
Stop complaining trains going that fast through a busy area using his horn that much is fine like literally what’s the difference if he just does the horn correctly like there’s no difference there is one difference though and it’s that I bet you it’s possible for a different engineer going through there won’t blow his horn as much and will hit someone at some point with this engineer no one would even think about crossing when he’s coming
I can tell that engineer loved blowing that SC44s horn
Amtrak doesn't stop in Encinitas, so Surfliners roll through there at about 60 MPH. There is a curve just north of the station, which forces Surfliners to slow down from 90 MPH. Plus, since Coaster does stop in Enclnitas, warning passengers that the approaching train is not stopping is very important.

"I'm a rich, entitled, arrogant, boomer who bought a condo next to tracks and people should get hit by trains instead of me hearing a train horn!"
What most railfans don't realize is that this is how quiet zones get established. One engineer who, let's face facts, is overdoing the horn a bit, is going to get this town to force a quiet zone for all the other rulebook-abiding engineers. Now instead of the lonesome sound of the whistle in the distance, and plenty of warning of an approaching train, you're relying on nothing but lights and bells and maybe one of those awful crossing-gate horn loudspeakers. Don't get me wrong, I abhor quiet zones, but all it takes is something like this and that's what you get.
2 1/2yrs ago, i watched video from the train that hit & killed my son. The engineer did all he could to stop, but couldn't. It was very traumatizing for him as well. So, if its for safety im ok with it. The horror of it for me was mistakenly being told it was an accident. The coroner was unaware i didn't know it was suicide. Watching the video was how i had to find out. People griping are only thinking of themselves & not that there might be a good reason for the horn pattern.
Trains sound their horn because people need to pay attention and live their lives.
why move infront of a train station? tracks prolly been there longer then those homes and plus they’re required to blow the horn even if it’s a quiet zone, gtfo n move somewhere else if it’s that big of a problem

there's a certain rule and pattern that drivers are supposed to use. a quick long long short long at crossings, 1 short horn before stopping at a station, and 2 short horns when leaving. The dude said he has no other problem with trains except that one train engineer who plays patty cake with the horn throttle. Really you should blow horns when passing a station only if there are people near by (just heard the end of the video, exactly what they said)

First if you don't like train noises maybe don't live near train tracks and second the whole "no horn should last more than 20 secs" is completely false, if you take the time to actually read the rule it states no more than 15 to 20 secs in advance of all crossings, finally the horn sequence is 2 long 1 short and 1 long, that last horn must be held until the locomotive fully passes the crossing and if there are multiple crossings close and back to back guess what the engineer has to do? he has to hold the horn all the way until he passes the crossings/station.
Train horns all day everyday! Not to mention, those people in Encinitas are lucky that Amtrak doesn’t have a Raised letter K5LLA horn. All hail the potato horn!!! That sounds quite awesome though. Also support the train horns and say no to them QZ propositions! Learn to like the train horns here and now!
Hey Mr "I don't know anything about railroading so I'm going to tell you how to railroad" you quoted that rule wrong. You left out the first part that says the engineer can blow the horn anyway he wants. Especially in a town with three road crossing in less than a half mile with drunks staggering around and malfunctioning gates at E st.
I'm wondering why that area hasn't been designated a "quiet zone". Is it too risky? That would shut that engineer up. You only sound the bell and can only sound the horn if there's an emergency.
This engineer reminds me of LIRR 39's engineer Gabe
This is just another case of rich people whining. That railroad was there way before anyone living there. The rich folks in Newport Beach do the same type of whining about John Wayne Airport. Again, the airport was there before pretty much everyone living there now.
I live in those condoes to but i try to take a nap and i hear that train i instly fall asleep
First of all there's no way that can be the same engineer on that same train every day for 5 years. Most likely the one who is doing it probably hit someone or had an experience there which made him/her traumatized enough to sound the horn. But also I have a hard time having sympathy for someone who lives right next to a train station and doesn't like one horn going off at 5pm, especially if this is their worst problem.
Technically, this engineer is following the rules, they are asking him to bend the rules because they are not comfortable with the sound
This is some of the biggest bullshit ever! First Encinitas is a Station that Amtrak Hauls ass past going up to 90-100 2. Going that fast they need to lay on the horn for safety for people not listening some times crossing bells aren't that loud 3. what do u think came first the Housing or the tracks?
