Here's some more about that one.Caltrain927 wrote:Although not noticeable, UP 5471 has a Nathan K5HA on it,

The 5471 had a 1st generation K5[H]L (1, 1L, 2, 3, & 4A bells) which was, somewhere along the way, converted to a rearward facing K5[H]A; the 1L & 3 bells were replaced with 5 & 3A bells.

That sounds more like a Canadian-tuned K3[L] to me.
