bad train horns

The horn on BNSF 9418 sounds like it could use some TLC:

That's just how an old single chime sounds.

Believe it or not, that ACL locomotive used to run in Wisconsin on a lot of the present-day WSOR lines when Glen Monhart owned it. He leased much of his personal collection of classic EMD locomotives to the start-up shortline Wisconsin and Calumet Railroad during the '80s and early '90s.

Two VERY bad horns on BNSF:

SD70MAC #9598:

And SD70MAC #9762:

In both cases, it appears only one bell is sounding!

Now this is a laughable horn!

EMDX SD60 #9059 has a funny sounding fouled K3LA:

It begins about 33 seconds in.

Also, that train is unusual for having 2 EMDX units leading a warbonnet.

Now here's a compilation:
