Yeah, I found that out later. I also found out most, if not all of their "RS3LRs" are actually Prime PM920s. Still unusual for them to have a K-series horn of any type. It probably was installed after the CP takeover of the DM&E/ICE system, since they have Canadian-tuned horns in abundance.

I haven't found any video, so I don't know what it is.

This must be the strangest horn I have ever heard on a GEVO. I don't care if it's a very fouled K5HL or not, it's very weird and cool sounding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKmYvlCUsGE

No photos of it, but NS 9835 has an backwards horn that sounds unusual:
