Trains were stopped for a time Saturday midday because of emergency track work east of Proviso.

I was there making an audio recording. The engineer was blowing the horn for me.

For what it's worth...that's just a fouled-up second generation K5LA.

The uploader is likely basing his assessment of this horn on the GoByTrain.us Amtrak horns page, which I manage. The K5LA in this video is considerred a first generation horn in terms of tuning--not physical construction like the P series horns--so the uploader is correct in his assessment. The "second generation" K5's are on NPCUs like 90413, and the "third generation" horns are considerred to be anything after the K bell retunes in 2008-2009.

@TheHornSource I know--I am very familiar with locomotive airhorns. :) Without a doubt, though, that one is a Hybrid K3L...that's definitely a standard #4 bell there, and no "A" bells are present.

udging by the horn (a K5LA hybrid), that's engine 61. Also, when she calls the next signal after the train passes, you can hear her say something about "61" although it's very quick.

Great horns! This brings me back to the days when I was just starting out as a railfan in a way few other things could.
