K5LA videos

The Amtrak Crescent heading East into Atlanta,Ga...recorded in Mableton,Ga...Cool crew on the train as always! Thanks to you guys! P-42DC's 130 & 171 Recorded on November 20, 2008.

Wisconsin & Southern SD40-2 4009, sporting a dedication to WSOR President Bill Gardner's late wife on the side as well as another sweet sounding K5LA horn, leads an inbound train (most likely off the Prairie sub) long-hood forward across Dickinson Street and E. Washington Avenue on Sunday, November 25. My dad shot this video, you can see me around 3:34 shooting photos and a video of the E. Washington crossing for one of the DVDs sold through Mike Hickok's railroad crossing website.

Part 2 covers the third train my dad caught on the morning of November 16. It was a short local headed out to Cottage Grove with a rather excessive amount of power in GP38 WSOR 3802 and SD40-2 WSOR 4009. Maybe they had a lot of cars to pull once they reached Cottage Grove. The first shot is at Corry Street, the second at Cottage Court/Cottage Grove Road as the train passes under Highway 51, and the third scene is at County Highway AB between Madison and Cottage Grove. Throughout the video, we get a good earful of the impressive K5LA horn that 3802 sported at the time. The Cottage Grove branch, like many minor rail lines in Wisconsin, is the remains of a former through line that was partially abandoned, in this case the former C&NW line to Waukesha.

The N.E.R. bound for Pacific City lays on the K5LA as it goes to Pacific City. This portion of the route is fictional but it's based off of the Atlantic City Line and the Springfield Line

CSX Q-373 is seen heading WB out of Baltimore crossing over from 1 Track over to 3 Track to jump onto the Old Main Line with CW44AC 50 leading CW44AC 71 with a long mixed freight in tow. Pretty nice K5LA on 50, and if you listen closely right after the locomotives pass you can hear the engineer give 2 additional blasts on his horn in response to (I think) the wave I had given him.

Taken on 11/12/07. Coaster train 648 arrives with Cabcar 2304 (nice K5LA) and F40PHM-2C 2101. THIS WAS MY 1ST VIDEO EVER ON YOUTUBE. Enjoy!

Taken in Spring, 2006. Amtrak 589 makes a beautiful departure into the sunset with cabcar 6900 and F59PHI 455. Enjoy!

As the title says!

(Use Higher quality) This was the departure of the Amtrak San Joaquin #715 with P42DC #67 leading. P42DC #67 had a nice K5LA and to make it better, it was used correctly. Captured by amtrakboy627 on 11-16-08. Enjoy, rate, favorite, and comment. :-)
