  • For what it's worth, this is a video on the old Metroliner's in action blowing their K5LA's horns. Now that I'm farther than ever away from the northeast where they can be found on the Keystone Corridor and Hartford Line.
    The original Metroliners pretty much existed as a flop thanks to poor design choices and trackage that left something to be desired. Luckily, Amtrak didn't give them the scrappers torch when Penn Central's trains were handed over to them. With the introduction of the new AEM-7's to help in tandem with the new Amfleet coaches, Amtrak was able to cement the standard Keystone set which arrangement of one engine, usually four Amfleet cars, and an engine.
    Nowadays you can find these cab cars today albeit with introduction of Siemens' new lines of ACS-64's as well as testing made with new coaches made by them as well.

    Always great hearing 9649 at 1:24 and 2:22! Definitely the best sounding horn in the fleet. It actually has an extremely rare hybrid K5LA, with an unusual #4 bell, unlike the 4A in most K5LAs.

    9646 has such a musical Doppler effect, so beautiful.

      @@BluTransitThe Doppler effect basically warps sounds, so example when a train passes by with their horn blaring, the horn becomes lower pitch when the train passes you

    You know I remember seeing the first time the Metroliners in New Haven, CT I never got the chance to ride them but I’ll miss them my question is when they retire so my question is will the Siemens Venture have a cab car for Amtrak and possibly Metro North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road?

      No. These can cars have been in use since the 80s and 90s when Keystone Service needed a cab car.

      Probably because these were all being rebuilt around the same time the AEM-7's we're being built.
