Aaaoohh...FAIL! Two fails for the price of one! :D
When my brother was working as a brakeman for SP, he said that he had to sit in a helper locomotive and honk the horn when they hit a cab buzzer because the lead unit's horn was like this.
That Amtrak reminds me of someone who has been screaming all day.
Some RRs have them and some don't. I know the MBTA has them for their K5LA horns, but I think that's mainly to prevent birds and bugs from flying into them.
Awesome horor horn!

That horn on the P42 gives me the creeps. It sounded like a whistle, not a K5LA.

Sounds like freezing rain to me....doesn't take much of that to foul a horn.

Wonder why they don't have bonnets for the horns?

Yep... just seems like it would be a better idea to keep things functional in bad weather.

There was obviously snow in both horns.

That sounds more like sleet hitting your camera.

There was rain hitting my umbrella which I was using to shield the camera. But the two horns were unmistakably bad.

The 8530 is pretty common on this train, but the 8565 was seen once here and hasn't been seen since.

That Amtrak just had snow packed in it, it was just letting air out. It would sound different if it was fouled. Nice video though!

Nice vid. Those are some pretty screwed up horns. #90's K5LA sounded more like a whistle than a horn.
