Odd horn, but I kinda like it. Needs to be louder

I saw 5 avelia Liberty sets at 30th street Philly today
That's awesome! Can't wait until they start service!!
Sounds like just the horn and bell ( HORN HEY BELL GET OUT OF HORN MY WAY!)!!!!!!
I will never get used to that horn or how the locomotive body isn't symmetrical with the shape of the coaches.
It’s just a horn, and the shape of the coaches thing is cause of the tilting. It’s a machine, not a work of art, doesn’t matter how it looks, only about how fast you can move people from A to B, and this train is stupid for the ENC anyway, cause of the low average speed with all the curves, acceleration should’ve been the priority over top speed, and tilting is just and excuse for not upgrading the tracks.
@@ncard00 They still should have flared out the locomotive body to match the coaches. I can see you're a function over form person. There has to be aerodynamic drag on those bits that hang out on the sides.
Because it's basically a next generationn TGV, except it's coaches are tilting coaches for old upgraded conventional railways, like the NEC. That's why the Swedish ABB X-2000 really shined on the NEC...
Old and new meetup. The Avelia Liberty has a European horn likely to be replaced sooner or later while the older Acela train has a more American style horn.
Nice old vs new
i like how nobody noticed the acela meet!
Who said no one noticed?
I like the tint she looks good
The old Acela has better horn ngl
Seems to be the consensus lol
These trainsets are wasted on the antiquated American rail infrastructure. We're still running diesel engines on electrified lines, and running HSTs on train lines that are woefully lacking in voltage and can't support speeds greater than 100 mph (160 km/h).
It'll take a lot of bipartisan support and $$, but the rail infrastructure is long overdue for an overhaul. We need dedicated HSLs and upgrade the existing lines to support faster speed.
The train looks cool but that horn ain’t it. I know it’s European but they need to put old acelas horn on the new one.
Fr tho that shit is annoying. When I first heard it I was like wow sound good but when I noticed them spamming it obnoxiously and it's European no American... hell no 🤦🏿♂️
the horn thats there barely fits already, no way a k5la would fit
Theres nothing wrong with the two tone horn, i think american horns sound obnoxious sometimes and a european one is a refresher
It definitely let's you know it's different. I'll be honest, I like it too, but make it louder! Lol
@@boatsplanestrainsNEC
Europeans: that's a loud horn!
Americans: I can't hear the horn...🤷
The older Acela being like “Move aside kid, this is what a proper horn sounds like!” 😅
"Listen here young whipper-snapper! *HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK*" 😂😂
@@boatsplanestrainsNECand a km
Facts XD
i dont understand why they are still testing the trainsets. i mean they received the first trainset in 2020 and its STILL sitting in a yard collecting dust.
Another railfan suggested that it's because they have to retrofit them for the NEC
Superb capture 👌 ❤ 😊
The american bells
I hate that horn I will never get used to it.
@00:17. The British train horn sound is coming! Good upon its not to near to Boston eh? What…oops. 😊
Maybe we should stick to calling it French, it is after all Train à grande vitesse 🤌🤌😅
The British are NOT coming! 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@boatsplanestrainsNEC Un-American audible activities!
Beautiful train 🚆, but I have questions, the Acela is a high speed train right? An what is it maximum speed? And it was unagurated in 2020 right? Beautiful trains from Colombia🇨🇴🇨🇴
It is a high speed train, but the railway on which is runs is old and not capable of sustained high speed operations. And this train has not yet been put into service. It's two years late.
@@TheRailwayDrone so you mean that this train is still on test and it doesn't has servises and it doesn't ride in railords that are on good shape?
@@pablofandelostrenes The northeast corridor is over 100 years old and needs refurbishment. These trains were supposed to be in service in 2021, but will now be in service in 2023, partly because they've had to make the trains backward-compatible with the northeast corridor railway.
it's the slowest high-speed train in the world
Very odd to not have an orange safety line on the side.
Not sure I follow 😅
@@boatsplanestrainsNEC the orange safety line is the point above which you will get electrocuted.
With a curve like this plus a grade level crossing. This is never going to be a high speed train (system). It's not just about the train car itself.
They would have to build a new monorail or elevated trans-American high-speed rail New York to Oregon. As you stated, only certain parts on the current system has been designed for a few long straightaways on which these trains can actually get up to speed... Continuous high-speed, even with these articulating tgv, are not possible...
@@boatsplanestrainsNEC but tilting trains like avelia Liberty can make it possible to run on higher speed in curves if I am not wrong??
It's possible they could gain a few more MPH in the corners than their predecessor, but I'm not sure it would be much.
Was this recently? I think it's been a while since it's been spotted
3 of them have been sitting in the yard in Philadelphia for the last 80 years

Do trains run at the right platform in US?
Both platforms are used, but they alternate which tracks are north/southbound
@@boatsplanestrainsNEC it’s not what I mean, I know both are used, I mean which one is used as direction of travel, as example you drive on the right side of the street by car, now is it the same for the trains? Here in Italy it’s not the same as the trains run on the left platform.
@@mattib92 Amtrak uses both tracks in either direction to accommodate traffic flow. Acela Express makes far fewer stops, with a typical Boston departure usually stopping in select stations ---
Boston, MA - South Station (BOS)
Boston, MA - Back Bay Station (BBY)
Route 128, MA (RTE)
Providence, RI - Amtrak/MBTA Station (PVD)
New Haven, CT - Union Station (NHV)
Stamford, CT (STM)
New York, NY - Moynihan Train Hall (NYP)
Acela will pass Northeast Regional trains if possible with many more stops available ---
Boston, MA - South Station (BOS)
Boston, MA - Back Bay Station (BBY)
Route 128, MA (RTE)
Providence, RI - Amtrak/MBTA Station (PVD)
Kingston, RI (KIN)
Westerly, RI (WLY)
Mystic, CT (MYS)
New London, CT - Union Station (NLC)
Old Saybrook, CT (OSB)
New Haven, CT - State Street Station (STS)
New Haven, CT - Union Station (NHV)
Bridgeport, CT (BRP)
Stamford, CT (STM)
New Rochelle, NY (NRO)
New York, NY - Moynihan Train Hall (NYP)
I should also say that neither Acela (7) nor the Northeast Regionals (15) make all their respective stops, but this illustrates just how much more the Regionals stop on this stretch of the Northeast Corridor (BOS to NYP)
Is it in service?
Not yet, this trainset was a test train.
Oh great. Another video of a two-year late train. It's nice as fuck though.
That doesn't look like it belongs there
That is the wrost horn wever
Its certainly different 😅
It looks like the TGV (Tren Grande Vitesse) from France. Original Acela is much better looking.
Because it is the same train as TGV.

Everything is slow through New London, three crossings within a mile; one of which is always busy due to the ferries ⛴️ and the others ramp up seasonally.
Get that British sounding horn out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not even British
Does sound a bit British
