Beautiful video. I've been riding from Van Nuys to Oceanside and back for years, and I know when my usual ride is passing about two miles north of where I live. Sometimes I'll time an evening walk just so that I can be outdoors to hear that K5LA...

My father and I used to chase trains out of San Diego back in the mid 70s to mid 80s. We were there so often they would let us ride through the wye at MCRD and I even got to work the whistle once. They sure have built up around that San Diego Depot. Imagine trying to chase a train up to Del Mar back when the speed limit was 55 mph. We rode in a 1971 RoadRunner with a 340+6.
Once we saw a 14 car freight with 2 SD45, an F45, 2 GP30s, an SD40-2 and a GP35 sitting just North of the SD Depot. They must have been in a hurry because they just lit it up and were going at least 50 by the time the caboose came by. Dad looked at me and said "Well, what do ya think?" I said "YEAH!" and we hopped in that RoadRunner. In Del Mar, we heard the horn as we were closing the doors. I wish I could have taken a picture of the guy in the caboose, it was like he'd seen 2 ghosts as we waved at him again. That was almost 40 years ago.
Cool story!

You can never go wrong with the Dash 8s on the surfliners
Exactly, the dash 8 locomotives are the goat.

Fantastic! Great shots and what an absolutely amazing horn O.O
Thanks for the great upload

I like how 503 has that Santa Fe Dome Car right behind it. I once saw an Amtrak Superliner with PRR Passenger Car when My Mom was taking Me back home from My graduation
Muy buenos videos, muchas gracias.
I just saw your video. Amazing, I can't get enough looking at the dash 8-32ph. Thanks for sharing
Excellent! Thanks for sharing....
7:39
I remember that one when me and my cousins went to the beach! When we were there it went off like 3~5 times!
great catches and video of this Dash 8 in the pivfic surfliner trains
Thank you for sharing the video. I'm originally from orange county now living in San diego. This video makes me miss orange county 😣
Good catch of the P32-8BWH with the great Nathan K5LA horn!
6:13 AWESOME train chasing !
That is one PHENOMENAL K5LA Spencer!!!!
Captain Justice uuuu
You can take videos of Amtrak cascades in Seattle.
Awesome Dash 8!!!
Spencer Hughes, you might be the ballsiest rail fan ever. I love the way you film all of these. It seems like you are two feet away from the train when it gets to you and you're still able to keep your footing. Looks exiting to be there. Cheers!
Nice catch on the first train
I love the Amtrak dash-8
Really amazing!
+trainfart Chasing trains are a great experience! ;)By the way, what is this **SEX WAX** ? :D

Awesome!
EPIC!
Great horn sound on the Pacific Surfliner between San Diego & Los Angeles. I rode on the Pacific Surfliners between San Diego & Los Angeles 7 times when they were called the San Diegans. My late wife, late daughter & oldest sons very first train ride was on the San Diegan from Los Angeles to San Diego on 8/6/1981 when they arrived from the Philippines. When my late daughter was on her own, she would ride to & from San Luis Obispo
during long weekends such at the Memorial Day & Labor Day & Thanksgiving holiday weekend instead of drive, she liked train travel a lot, so does my oldest son, especially when he was on Temporary duty in Japan with the Air Force. I travel long distance by Amtrak & will be riding Amtrak more often between San Diego, Los Angeles & Oxnard in the future.
Very good job 👍
Замечательное видео. Да сигнал у них очень громкий и приятный на звук.

MAKE A ANOTHER VIDEO ABOUT AMTRAK 503
PLEASE ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!
Awesome video! Great quality not fuzzy or blurry at all. SoCal has a lot of train action. I live in San Francisco... boring!!
hey man
That's a pretty big crossing on the first video
Awesome
Nice Video
The silver splendor car went to the Conway Scenic as “Rhonda Lee”
Awesome! Supprised it only has 4 axles.
+PingasTheFourth true true
Yeah
My fav
5:50 i put it on 2x speed and IT WAS LIKE A ROCKET WAGON, i remember from dying light the following
spencerhughes2255 Nice Video! good catch do u know when its running again?
Best K5LA ever
hey spencer can you tell me the point of that siding at San Juan train station to the bridge? i dont think ive ever seen anything on it besides track maintenance.
You should have a microphone some distance away. A cell phone camera would do.
Sync. Blend that audio track with the close camera during the flyby wind buffeting.
8:00 Beautiful shot!!!
i thought all of san juan and santa ana was qz now. Please dont tell me theyre planning to qz those crossings too
almost the best K5LA Ever!

Wow
I like amtrak
I'm still curious about the unknown man or boy by that signal light Spencer
I saw the engine 503 on The Amtrak Coast Starlight
+Mychael Hall ME TOO! i saw it on the coast starlight in jack london square!
CoasterFan3001 Yeah The dash 8 is always on the Amtrak Coast Starlight.
I like train videos videos on RUclips 👍
5:57 the first time I knew that Dash 8s can actually do 90 mph
it’s modified so it can, most normal dash 8s go up to like 80. I always felt like they can go faster but don’t because of restrictions. Amtraks Dash 8s can go up to 100 as well
@@gokuthatmadethebeat Typically, modern day freight diesels are geared for 70. This includes Dash 9's, Dash 8's, and Gevo's. However, as you said, the P32-8BWH can do 100 mph because it's geared for passenger service.
06:00 is very fast!!!!
That dash 8 is hauling ass
0:51 4:50 5:28 6:00 7:11
Sure moves fast
9:38 late comment but straight out of a NJT Cab Comet V Car
Is 503 no longer capable of generating HEP? Or does the engineer simply elect to run a Genesis on the rear to provide the HEP (or TEP, whatever you like to call it on the back end) and have full power available to the Dash-8?
What is HEP still trying to learn the technical terms
FlyAround5 HEP stands for Head End Power. It uses the main alternator for the traction motors to power the carriages and the like. The catch is the prime mover (diesel engine) must be turning over at a constant RPM to maintain the correct AC frequency (in your case 60Hz), so even when stopped in a station, the prime mover will still be at high RPM. It also lowers the amount of tractive effort the traction motors can produce, as some of the horsepower produced by the prime mover is now powering the carriages as well as the traction motors
ah thx for the info
This Amtrak Dash 8 kinda looks like BNSF.
There was another train that was coming
Whose private car is that!?
I've seen it
1:46 theres a trainz 12 amtrak acela cab car bell
+SpartanRailfan 3000 meant a metro north
There you are train 503
Why does it have a Santa fe car silver
Alexis Diaz o
It’s a rent out special car
What's that red train on the left at 4:25?
They're subways. Basically. They run underground and above. If you've ever played gta 5, you'll see them.
they are trolleys and they don't go underground here
Not a problem, I found that. San Diego Trolley's Siemens S70. Pretty.
They don’t go underground so their not subways. Their the city of San Diego’s light rail
Pardon me,but Can't engines like these,Pull Freight loads?
Boba Fett No, this was a freight train, but it was modified for passenger service. It only has 3,200 HP, just like GE's C32-8.
RiversideRailProductions Not really a whole lot of modification. If it ever needed to be sold, Amtrak could very easily turn it into a freight unit at Beech Grove in very little time. Beech Grove would re-gear the traction motors, rip out the HEP generator, and give it a once-over. They basically would be reversing what GE did at the factory. GE simply installed a HEP generator and re-geared the traction motors of a production Dash 8 32BW. Other Amtrak locomotives would require more work. The F59PHIs could never be re-geared as it wouldn't be worth it. The P40DC and P42DC after getting a complete carbody transplant, re-gearing, and HEP removal could possibly be sold as freight units. GE was very lucky they sold these units when they did, very few 4-axle units are still in service. They simply don't have the tractive effort that 6-axle units do.
@@therookie9276 a freight engine
0:51 I WOULD SHIT MY PANTS SO MUCH HOLY CRAP BRUH
I appreciate the hell out of you, but thats waaay too close my dude 1:00
Telephoto lens my dude.
What everyone is calling a Dash 8 looks like an ES44 to me. Whats the difference and please don't get mad at me.
ok thanks
+s Luce In fact GE hasn't changed that much their design since the Dash 8, except for the upper radiator grids.
You can also see that a Dash 8 has a single large on each sides in a discreet angle, whereas an ES44 has one thin grid plus two larger grids and more inclined angle on each sides.
This is a GEVO...

... And this is a Dash 8 (and behind her, another ES44).
