Odd train horns

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

Odd train horns

Post by luke » Fri Jul 03, 2009 4:58 pm

By odd I mean things like:

BNSF B40-8W 572 having an Leslie S-3L mounted BACKWARDS?! :Confused:

Image


Or:

BNSF ES44DC 7605
Image

& ES44DC 7766
Image


having K5LAs.

Video of 7766: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gcL3VFgRz4


By odd, I mean horns mounted unusually, like the backwards S-3L, or ones found on roads that normally don't use them, like the K5LAs on BNSF.

There's a FEC locomotive that has the horn mounted on the very end of the locomotive instead of above the cab or halfway down.

BNSF C44-9W 4466 has a P3, and there is another C44-9W that has a P5!

Some other BNSF C44-9Ws started out with K3LAs, but they were replaced with S-3Ls!

Also in this category, there is a Norfolk Southern C40-9W that has a K5LLA.

BNSF C44-9W 4399 has a feature that's rare for BNSF, and rare for any freight road.

You can barely see it in this photo, but it has an all-bells forward K5LA.

BNSF B40-8W 522 has an S-3L with one of the larger bells reversed rather than the small one.
