Come along as we take a look at Amtrak's Dash-8 locomotives in action! The P32-BWH, or Dash-8 locomotives were built in 1991 by General Electric. They were essentially freight locomotives that were geared to run at passenger train speeds and equipped to provide electricity to the passenger cars. Today, these locomotives are primarily used as yard switchers and trailing units on some long distance Amtrak trains, but you can occasionally see them leading passenger trains still. This video takes a look at several of these locomotives in action in the western United States

Last time I remember seeing a Dash-8 was back in 2018 or so. It was leading the southbound Coast Starlight just south of Gilroy. I haven't seen one since.
I guess that means I need to get out railfanning more.

Those points on the tracks at 4: 59 and 4: 15.
Do they mean anything because the dash 8 sounded the horn just about when the front of the train passed it.

Fun fact: The dash 8s were slated to be retiree long ago (I think 2011) but they were kept because they were super reliable
