Re: Good train horns.
A Rare catch for me on the Alabama Gulfcoast Railroad, comes a ex Missouri & Wisconsin with a small freight train heading for the international Papermill at around 9:30pm.

Rest In Peace Guilford SD26 615!

Re: Good train horns.
On a railroad that makes sure its locomotives can wake the dead at any trackside cemetaries, WSOR 4008's Leslie RS3LR stands out:

4007- No idea what this is, but it sure sounds nice. It looks like a Leslie, but sounds more like a less harsh version of a K3LA:

Re: Good train horns.
More favorites of mine:
Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad #400 has one of the best K5LAs I've ever heard:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qIgDNcvfhc
ELS 501 has a cool horn that looks and sounds to me like a Nathan P5, but people have told me RS5T or Nathan M3 (which I know it can't be because when you look at the horn, it has five tubes):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhRwCdraFzQ
Soo Line 4512 in ex-Milwaukee Road "Bandit" paint may look somewhat worse for wear, but it has a nice sounding horn that I've been told is a Prime 920/RS hybrid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVjEa135iGU
CP 4522 also has a sweet sounding R/S3LR or its Prime equivalent:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hjmJaqQeCY
Mid-Continent Railway Museum's ALCo S1 has a Nathan M3:
