LIRR MP15AC Nathan Old Cast P01235 horn

A westbound stone extra wails through Farmingdale Village saluting the grade crossings with a wicked sounding Old Cast Nathan P01235 (P5). Note the horn in the distance towards the end of the video... The crossing that the train is blowing for is about a mile west of the camera.

[@W5KVV]

Gotta love a MP-15 bouncing across a road crossing at speed. They are like the tug-boats of the locomotive world. & that horn damn near gives me wood.
Nice vid.

The MP15AC are the Towtrucks or the rails!

[@railfankellanofficial724]

Same, I love watching engines bouncing a little when going over a crossing or something else

[@est86leo]

I'm a freight conductor and I've never seen a motor bounce like that, and I've been over some bad track in old power lol !

0:14 the train is dancing because of how nice the horn is

Awesome P01235! Amazing how loud the horn is when facing backwards.

I've never seen a switcher go that fast before. But the bouncing is so mesmerising though lol

[@SpeakerPolice]

Still enjoying this video. I also love how you can hear the EMD engine pumping, even in the distance. This used to be one of my favorite things about having a boat near the FEC mainline. It was an awesome sound in the night.

[@yeahboiii83642]

No it’s not a emd locomotive it’s just a LIRR MP15AC

@@yeahboiii83642 You uh. You know the MP15 is built by EMD, right?

No it’s built by from the MP15AC’s

That is one great horn, especially the capture from a distance. That's some bounce there -- the engine crew must have had quite a ride.

[@charonsferryold]

That bounce at 0:15 definitely doesn't meet federal safety standards!

[@W5KVV]

Track is allowed 3 inches of vertical movement. How the locomotive translates that is on the locomotive. MP15's are well know to be bouncy.

That horn sounds like an Amtrak E60 + it kinda sounded like a BNSF ET44C4 horn at the beginning.

[@mikeytrains1]

LIRR MP15s were specifically built and geared with speed in mind, they were ordered in the 70s, and by that time they were used on passenger trains up to the early 2000s when the DM/DE30s were introduced

I thought p01235s were exclusive to amtraks E60s

And now that those are gone, where do you think all those P0s ended up? lol

0:14 it is normal for the locomotive to swing too much

For an MP-15 yes that’s normal on that locomotive
