Best of the best vids! mabey you should contact Pentrex or green frog vids and get with em. thye would love your vids brother. I gotta say one can never watch your videos enough. Thank you and may GOD keep and protect you while you are out rail fanning. And may he bless you and ur family for all of time with honur and love
Awesome video!! I was born a month after this was taken! I have been a railfan my entire life I remember seeing alot of the old B&O and Chessie units when I was a kid although they were already owned by CSX. How things have changed!!
The WM did use Leslie S-5TRFs on both the GP35s and SD35s. The later GP9 orders came with pairs of them too...so yes, they did use Leslies prior to 1967
I believe Southern used M5s and the old-cast, 1st generation P5. The M5s needed to be tuned periodically to still sound good (and many railroads neglected to do that).
I remember watching the old B&O locomotives fly by, they always looked spooky at night! R.I.P. C&O, B&O, Seaboard System, WM, Chessie System, Conrail, and all the others

Alright, whatever. I'm not much of a WM historian, it seems that in the few WM videos I've seen their locomotives have Leslie S-5Ts.

what kind of horn was on the WM SD40's don't hear that kind of horn on locos anymore on any other railroads except WM.

Leslie S5-T. WM was not the only railroad to use them. L&N, SCL, N&W, IC, and Santa Fe's passenger locos had them too.

that was actually a S3L on it. Not the original but still nice none the less.

Yeah, I guess. But WM typically used S-5Ts.

Nice catch. If only there was a time machine to see this once again in person!
