Now, an unusual group of horns on BNSF:

BNSF 5740, and a number of other pre-production ES44ACs, have unusually arranged K5[H]Ls.



They appear to have the 1, 2, & 3 bells on the upper part of the manifold, and the 4 & 5 bells on the lower part, with the 1 & 3 bells reversed. [I'm guessing this based on the size of the bells in the photo.]

Now a rare horn swap for a special unit:

BNSF 9647, the 'vommit bonnet' was delivered with a K3LA, but in September of 2007, it was changed to an RS-3K!

Also, look at that unit leading the 9647.

Where's it's horn?!

I heard the vomitbonnet has had it's horn swapped back to a K3LA

You're right!

Then it's just a plain ol' punkin' to me again!

Now, its a P3 on an ES44AC:

UP 5504 had a K5HL when Patrick Lopez caught it at Beaumont, CA in 2006.


Now, it has a P3!

No good photographs, but here's the video where it can be seen & heard:

And like BNSF 5225, the horn is mounted forwards.
