And to think that Florida also has Tri-Rail, the site of some of the greatest K5LAs to ever grace the world, and unlike Coaster, they all still stand in their full glory even today. 7:17 2305 is currently sitting at the south end of Stuart Mesa Yard in line for overhaul, but they haven't even touched it at all since they moved it there as of now.
I live in Toronto, so yes I do agree that in it's emergency setting the K5CA is dismal, especially with VIA Rail recently replacing the 90s K5LA main horn on the P42 fleet, with another K5CA like the emergency horn up front... But I can at least tolerate it now on it's regular setting (which wasn't really featured other than briefly at the start of the GO clip), as I've heard that one enough that it's starting to grow on me. At least I can somewhat forgive VIA for using a K1L13 on the F40 fleet as a replacement for the K3L, and the Hybrid K5CA (Yes really) that they use as their emergency horn.
Thanks for Using My Shot When I Caught That Guy Crossing the Tracks. I Really Prefer The K5LAs on Go Transit. At Least They Don’t Sound Like This At 6:39 But All Though Some Sound Like That. Awesome Video btw. :D
TRUST ME ON THIS: if you look up ACE Series IX cab car testing, they don’t use full pressure, so it is probably a much better sounding horn than you think.
Over here in the east, we have a small fleet of GP40 rebuilds in the Springfield and Hartford area that run the CTRail commuter service. These have Australian-built K5UL-AU-LS horns, lots of people seem to hate them but I personally don’t mind them. They give CTRail a distinct sound!
This just appeared on my recommended videos algorithm and I laughed when you got to the part about Sunrail. I live in Central Florida and occasionally encounter Sunrail trains while driving and even rode it a few times. I've just gotten used to its horn noises as almost "normal" - but yes they do sound pretty bad when put up against what a good train horn should sound like.
Ngl the K5CA and K5CA-LS don't sound ALL that bad. Just got to get used to them and tbh it depends on what locomotive it's mounted on. Some sound horrible others sound actually fine
Man everyone hating on the k5ca. Its actually a nice sounding horn I don't get at all how it sounds bad especially the ones used on VIA's p42s those things are awesome. Now, when they get fouled that's a different story and I agree the fouled ones sound like garbage but not the normal ones.
I hate the K5CA, it tries it’s best sound like a K5HL and fail. I rather take the horns on CSX 907, 5226, 5376, and 5476 over that piece of garbage and these locomotives have some of the worst horns I’ve ever heard
2:17 bro started busting to trains 💀💀💀💀

K5CAs aren’t even all that bad. It sounds like a K5HL but much more aggressive.
@@easternroutemainlinevideos6823 you have a point but go transit K5CAs are garbage

I agree with you in EVERY way in this video
6:39 Moving a Couch Be Like:
WTF DID THEY DO TO 2008💀
1:48 2302’s horn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was Riding Metrolink 857 To San Clemente Pier, I Saw A Phase 4 Amtrak F40, and A Coaster F40, I Couldn’t Read The Numbers Though.
The K5CA is actually cursed, before that on my tier list was that cursed K5LA on Sunrail 2008
Lol
Sunrail uses P2's or P5's
@5008 creations sunrail 2008s horn was fixed I rode on it 2 weeks ago it’s fix now and sounds like a p2
Wait what do you have a video of it
That's good news lol
1:58 sounds like an NJT Comet V quill tbh
sunrail's2008 cabcar sounds straight up like an elephant
2305 has an outstanding P5. RIP 2305
The Sunrails 2008 Cab Car sounds like the Romanian State Railways class 65s Horn
5:52 as a central florida railfan, I feel so called out right now.
Would it be fair to say you’re a couple fries short of a happy meal?
I love your vids 510trackside

5:09. Oh and don’t hate the K5CA
As a central Florida railfan I don't mind the sunrail horns
I feel bad for any railfans that live around the Toronto area
I live next to the Sunrail corridor and hearing weird horns lol
Honestly K5CAs arent even that bad. lol Either that or the Avelia Liberty Euro horns.
2:17 DUDE HOW-
K5CA horror
10:59 2310 my boy
10:59 bro explained 6965💀☠️
I’m sure the almighty, Australian Nathan K5UL-AU-LS would be a much better fit than that Canadian monstrosity 😅
5006 what happened
Erm actually it’s 5008 so uhm you’re wrong 🤓🤓🤓☝️☝️
Okay first of all he said and 5006 has a weird squeak in its horn as of mid 2024
And second off did you even go to train school 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
And lastly my comment was made 7 days ago and your comment was made 3 days ago so you can’t be talking bro 😎
Ah yes the Sun rail box P5’s
scary K5CA 😱
2:19 ok what the fuck
Nice Video!
Funny how Sound Transit Engineers overuse the hell out of the K5CA though i havent seen myself theres videos and man its so stupid sounding
They sound like a K5LA But K5LA Is better!
All hail the potato horn
I hate the K5CA, it tries it’s best sound like a K5HL and fail. I rather take the horns on CSX 907, 5226, 5376, and 5476 over that piece of garbage and these locomotives have some of the worst horns I’ve ever heard
I’ll take the worst North American horn over any European horn any day.
and this is 📯
And this is-
K5CrAp
I like the k5ca
