Odd train horns

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

I know you forum moderators hate when threads are bumped like this, but I saw BNSF 6045 by my workplace with an INSANE 3rd generation K5HL. This is obviously a new application, due to it having a K5LLA as late as 30Nov14 that I can tell. It looked and sounded like new

Actually, it's perfectly okay to bump a thread like this. In fact, the rules state that you should bump threads if you have something to add to them, which you did.
They/Them for me, please.

Yes... agreed. I'm not a mod, but the more activity the better... as long as it is relevant!

MEC 514 (GP40-2W) has a very cool sounding K3L. Pne person says that it got clogged wirh snow and it got damaged with a shovel, but from all of the other crazy stuff he has said, I doubt it.

The 3400s (3400, 3401, 3402, 3403, & 3404) have K5LLAs on SD40-2s! But the odd thing is that all of the bells are mounted backwards execpt for one of them!

Pan am 610, well im just going to say that sometimes it sounds like a very fouled horn and sometimes it sounds like a bike horn.

Recently I was watching one of Trainmankight old videos and I noticed that UP 9292 (a C40-8) has quite a weird sounding horn. It sounds like a K3LA but it’s sounds kind of muffled. There is three clips of it and the horn sounds the same in all of them. So if anyone knows what horn this is please say as I can’t find any info about it anywhere.
The first clip is at 53:12. The next is at 54:31. Last is at 56:29.
Also I’m sure the locomotive does not exist anymore.

Check out my Roblox group called Railroad Town Replicators. We have games based in real world towns and we primary make signals. And no I’m not asking for R$ or likes. The one who is too interested in railroad crossing signals but you can’t be too intrested.
