Living in an area that has never seen Amtrak service, I've never really paid much attention to them. My interest is growing with every new post about these.

Or a horn switch or a dead mans switch and its missing big 44oz drink cups

 

[4449tj]

Naw, it looks like a vanilla doughnut with blue frosting:hehe:. I'm sure Justin will chime in eventually with an answer.

Lolz maybe put a box of doughnuts on the conductors side of the cab. But I find it weird for a doughnut to be red with blue icing.

 

[cascaderailroad]

I think it's a frosted glazed doughnut

 

[luvintrainz]

also looks like a dog toy

 

[4449tj]

Are we really having a discussion about this? I think cascade is right, glazed and then some blue frosting on top of the glaze. Wonder what flavor the frosting is? blueberry?:hehe:

I am and it is funny. The "doughnut" is actually a horn sequencer. Press it and it plays long long short long, rings the bell and activates the ditchlight flashers.

Ooh... I wonder if there will be a way to quill the horn. :udrool:

Looks like somebodies a slopy crew, LOL... a lone Pepsi from a 6 pack(not beer), mostly eaten bag of Chips some half drank water bottles, what else is hiding in the cab?

Also, Blake, what does quilling the horn do? I found a good example I just don't see a point...

BASR RF62 rolling through a suburban neighborhood in St. James, slowing down to line the iron into South Fork yard. The crew has just pulled this mixed bag from the SPRY a few miles down the line in Fort Washington, and will be bound for the Breadwood to swap cars there as well.

I've never seen one of these before. Do other railroads use them or are they strictly an Amtrak thing?

EDIT: Nice shots btw

CSX has them on quite a few widecabs.

CSX has them on quite a few widecabs.

All widecabs on UP and mostly newer BNSF have them as well
