"Odd" is the best way I can describe WSOR 4012's BN holdover Leslie RS3K. It doesn't sound 100%, but some people love it...

I've always found it odd because they use traffic light mast-arms and a pair of Winkomatic traffic lights to indicate that the train is crossing instead of actual crossing cantilevers.

Yes, that too, but it feels like a heebie-jeebie zone

Also, NS 3441 has a rather odd sounding horn to me. It almost sounds like a harmonica.
They/Them for me, please.
