Why does amtrak like buying new locomotives rather than new coaches

I’m not too sure why, but $$ can have a part in it. It’s cheaper to replace 1 locomotive vs 6 coaches.

6951-6953, 6900, 6901, 6903-6908. 6952 burned down due to faulty electrical equipment if I’m not mistaken back in the early 2000’s

Surfliners have been clocked through here with radar going 90+, so there's no doubt in my mind that this surfliner was doing the same

Judging by the horn pitch, its about 90

surfliners used to pass through my area at 75 before they started stopping, that's definitely not 75

Why is the signal off then light up double red as the train gets near? Shouldn't it have been all red once the train got in the block?

@@GamingRailfanner Sorry, I was talking about the train track signals. With a train coming from behind the signal, shouldn't the signals shown in the video be red? They don't turn red until the last moment.

@@GamingRailfanner I understand to turn signals off when there are no trains anywhere near but if you have a train coming from one direction shouldn't the signal on the other side for a train heading towards the oncoming train be showing a stop signal?
