All Amtrak California Cab Cars Ranked Worst to Best in my Opinion (Improved Version)

  • I decided to create this back on July 11th 2020, because I had taken more interest and realization to them, and wanted to make this again to make it more clear to the audience.
    The original video from March 18th 2019: • All Amtrak California ...
    Notes:
    - The note about 6965 was rather speculative. I only believed that an EMD or UKM difference was that made its bell sound different.
    - Also, about 6965, the horn you hear here is no longer its present horn. Even then, I still consider its present horn about equal, and it would be in the exact same spot.
    - I say 8308 stalks me because nearly every single prominent moment i've ever had with CDTX Cabs, 8308 has constantly been involved. The reason I feel negative about 8308 and not 8312 is because I don't have the same appreciation for 8308 as I do with 8312.
    - While making this video, I actually completely forgot that I had my own footage of 8307 and 6962, and left it out.
    - The picture of 8314 as its horn plays is actually the thumbnail of the exact video which the horn audio heard comes from. I only got the consent to use it within the 11th hour.
    - I still have a feeling 8304 took up too much of this video's time...
    - Yes, the font on the Tier and Individual Cab Car Ranking Screens is actually the exact same font the units use in real life.
    - For those who don't know, the reason I called 8313 "Captain Quiznos" is because the real life unit actually has a Quiznos Bar right on board.
    - The Wide Number Boards I since found out is no longer an 8310-exclusive feature. They're just extremely new. So new, in fact, I had never known they existed until I personally saw 8310 there. Now, i'm aware that 8301, 8302, and 8314 also presently have them. And being honest, 8305 always kinda looked like it had them.
    - I think the Bottom Tiers may have been a small bit inaccurate. I think I should have instead put all 8302, 8308, and 8311 in the Literal Garbage Tier, and 8303 and 6964 in the Mediocre Tier together.
    - I personally consider 8310 and 8312 tied for their high spot, but I put one on top only because I could only choose one to be above. Two cannot be in the same spot. I think they are equal, neither is really superior to the other.
    - If you're not fully aware of what I meant by "Angelic Encounter", you can find better information in the description of the actual video of the footage used there.
    All audio is credit to the late A.J. Martinez (Martinez Sub. Productions) unless otherwise specified, which then, the credit will be displayed right in the video where it is due.
    All still photos in this video are also not mine, and credit to whoever took them. The moving pictures, though, are indeed mine.
    The drawing of 8302 as a piece of poop I drew myself. That was also my real life voice calling it that name.
    If you can't already tell, just about every single photo of the Cabs in this video is taken in their present appearance since 2015. To be pinned, you have to find the only two pre-2015 photos that appear within this video.

    • @calirailfanner259
      @calirailfanner259 Před 3 lety +2

      Superbaddy4 True. If I were to rank them, 119 or 120 would be part of legendary tier for sure. For me as the best bombardier Cabcar with a P2 horn, 117 would be the winner followed by 113. And as for the worst Bombardier Cabcar, I would have to say it would be 114 as it has the least interesting horn in my opinion.

    • @superbaddy4

  • @AirchimeLTDproductions174

    Awesome video and content! :) my favorite Amcal units are F59PHI-ECO #2010 and Cabcar #8313. BTW the reason that many of the 8300 series cabcars K5LAs sound bad are because the engineers have the option to decrease the airflow pressure to the horn using whats called a solenoid valve. In turn this allows the horns to be blown at different volumes depending upon the position of the solenoid valve. I would also like to mention a few things about each of the cabcars horns. 8302s horn really isn't bad at all its just the horn was being blown at standard volume. The same thing applies with 8307, 8305, 8308, and 8311. 8307s and 8311s K5LAs are in my opinion some of the best up there with 8313, and 8309. The engineer of 6964 was also only quilling its horn. That seems to be the case alot with 6964 because its K5LA is very loud on full blast. So in truth really all the cabcars sound good except for 8312, and 8314. 8312s K5 has a fouled #2 bell, and 8314s K5 has a fouled 3A bell. However compared to other fouled K5LAs I've heard I do really like 8312s and 8314s K5s. Also here are some videos of the 8300s horns being blown at full volume or with the solenoid valve fully open which only 5% of the time happens. Its very rare for an engineer to fully open the solenoid valve on an 8300. But when it happens its an awesome treat.

    • @superbaddy4
      @superbaddy4  Před 3 lety

      I don't really count when they fully raise the valve, because it's kind of an abnormality. I'm definitely aware they're all capable of better, but again, they all are.
      I've seen that video of 8307, and several videos of 8311 giving it all. But again, I know what they're doing, so no matter how much better it sounds. I still don't see anything better than what I did before. 8307 is still a mediocre unit that just happens to be blessed with an E-Bell, and 8311 is still nothing but a stenchy pile of vomit. What if my Actual Favorites turned the horn to full?
      As for 6964, I just don't think it sounds that good, even at full blast.
      What a coincidence. 2010 is also my Favorite CDTX F59PHI.

      @@superbaddy4 You know I respect your taste of horns :), I have a soft spot for fouled horns. 8314 used to sound just like 8310 back in 2005 and also in 2008. Ever since 8314s 3A bell has stopped sounding under a certain PSI. 8312s #2 bell was clogged with insects or debris of some sort and hasn't been cleaned since the 90s. 8304s old K5LA I also really like as well it sounds unique because both the #1&5 bells were cracked and fouled. Nonetheless, 8312/8314/8304 have some very nice K5's. 8310 is another one of my favorite cab cars whom of which I have also heard at full pressure as well. 8310 simply has a very graceful sounding K5 its also very unique when heard at full pressure. Also sorry if I am taking away too much of your time.

      It would be interesting if I compiled all of those and made a video comparing CDTX 8300 Cabs Normal Vs. Full Power. I definitely feel the best in 8302, 8303, 8304, 8309, and 8311 there. 8310 and 8313 don't really feel different, I prefer 8314's present horn over its original, and 8308 still sounds like trash.

      @@superbaddy4 The video I gave you with 8308 did not really have the solenoid fully opened. I tried to find the one video when 8308s K5 was fully opened however I just couldn't find it. I can however tell you that 8308s K5 at full pressure is synonymous with 8303s K5 at full pressure. I also think that 8313s K5 has much more power to it than 8310s K5. 8310s K5 is much smoother and sonorous rather than powerful.

    Aight. I wanna tell you this 1 thing, I HATE 8312. It stalked me whenever i went railfanning, along with CDTX 2108. Also, the K5LA is kinda rough and in my face. If i had to choose between 8314 Mt Pinos( that thing also stalked me AND I also had to ride on it when I first rode capitol corridor),and 8312 Mt Inyo, i would choose 8314 because its K5LA Sounds nice.

    My personal favorite is 8306, and then 6962. Also, I would use Brent Nguyen’s audio as he's recorded almost every CDTX owned cab car on point. He never saw 8306 on point, however. The first ever photo of a California Car I saw was of 8306. So, I ended up thinking that the Surfliners had a smaller horn so if could go in it's chamber.

      As long as it is still up to date, I'll take it. There's a good amount of footage of 6905 from about 2018 which will work.
      The Tri-Rail and Coaster Cabs are another deal, as some have died. The Tri-Rail ones are easier as they are less prone to change, but the Coaster ones constantly change. I may only use two samples for each. One of their best 2000s Horn, and one of their most Present Horn (2306 counting with its very last horn before it was scrapped).

    8309: Another Spectacular K5LA, better than 8307 by a slight margin imo.
    8310: An simple but an amazing K5LA, an E bell helps to. 8301, 8307, 8309, 8310, 8312, and 8314 has E bells.
    8311: Pretty atrocious horn, sounds rotten and queasy imo, if it had a E bell, it would be better but the horn needs to change imo.
    8312: An absolutely unique and incredible K5LA, and has an awesome GW E bell instead of the less glamorous sounding steel bells imo.
    8313: An absolutely incredible K5LA.
    8314: A very good and unique K5LA, the GW E bell helps it as well.
    6961: Amazing K5LA.
    6962: An awesome half raised letter K5LA, sounds really unique.
    6963: Fairy good horn.
    6964: An awesome K5LA.
    6965: An very good K5LA, sounds like 8312 imo but not as good.

      @billtherailfanner455 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Here are the Pacific Surfliner F59s ranked as of July 2023 imo:
      450: A good unit, the first unit for the Surfliner, this unit has sounded good for most of its life imo.
      451: It sounded awesome from 1998 to 2015. 5 RL K5LA horn sounded good from 2015 to 2016, and then in 2017, it went fouled and sounded awful.
      452: Had an awesome hybird hybrid K5LA and git got replaced with an newer horrible K5LA in 2013 when it was overhauled.
      453: The horn for most of its life sounded ok, expect for 2014 when it had an awesome RL K5LA, it's horn pre 2014 sounded ok, and the horn 2015 to 2017 sounded ok, and the horn in 2018 sounded bad.
      454: This unit had a good horn for most of its life expect it sounded bad from sometime around 2017 to 2018.
      455: An amazing unit, my #1 favorite, an amazing K5LA from 1998 to 2013 and it wore an OLS wrap from 2008 to 2009. The horn went fouled around 2013 but got a awesome RL K5LA in 2016 but it went fouled in 2017 and sounded atrocious.
      456: Amazing unit, had an wonderful horn for most of its life but it went fouled around 2017 I would say.
      457: An another amazing unit, it's K5LA sounded wonders for most of its life, even in 2018, it sounded amazing. It wore the 10th anniversary Surfliner from 2010 to 2011 and a Be Track Smart wrap from 2011 to 2014, #2 favorite unit.
      458: Great unit, wore a National Train Day wrap for a very short time in 2008, had a good horn from 1998 to 2013, but went fouled in 2014. It was also the last Surfliner F59 to leave California.
      459: Another awesome unit, but it sounded horrendous from late 2014 to 2016, it had a good horn from 2017 to 2019.
      460: Had an awesome hybrid K5LA but it got replaced with a ok RL K5LA but it went fouled later on.
      461: Had an awesome hybrid K5LA and then got an wonderful but not as good RL K5LA. The RL K5LA began to sound fouled to the point the horn sounded absolutely horrible.
      462: Pre 2011, It had an amazing K5LA especially when it is quilled and then it went fouled in 2011. It got an awesome RL K5LA in 2017.
      463: Had an awesome hybrid K5LA and then got an spectacular K5LA in 2012 but it later went fouled unfortunately.
      464: I strongly dislike 464 and for the most part always have. Before 2011 it had for the most part an poor K5LA. In 2011 it got a good hybrid K5LA, in 2013 it got a solid RL K5LA but it went fouled and sounded absolutely atrocious. It got an decent hybrid K5LA in 2016, believed to originally from 460. It went fouled again unfortunately and sounded terrible.
      465: Solid unit with a great K5LA, was then transferred to the Cascades route.

      450 and 451 were the only Surfliner F59s built in London, ON. 452 to 465 and 466 to 470 the Cascades F59s were built in Schenectady, NY. This is what I know so far and from the information I have looked up. 465 was then transferred to the Cascades early in its career as we all know.
