thats actually one of the better cabcar horns I've heard on Caltrain both of the bells are still sounding(most cabcars only have one bell sounding) Caltrain actually uses P-2's not K-2's although I don't hear the usual P squeal perhaps this one has a K or the Squeal is just not as pronounced as usual?
P-2's sound like a p-3, except the lowest bell on the p-3 is silent. K-2's have there moments too. If they are over blown alot they will tend to squeel. From what i heard from my horn. lol
Was it a triple decker caltrain or a double decker caltrain?

Were those CalTrain or SF cops at the SF station? Did they hassle you for taking video onboard? Or were they there for someone else?

Atleast it sounds like they have control over the air in the horn. Metrolink have an automatic horn valve

YELL out the window and resdents will complaine your ruineing there life
also the horn is a p2
however caltrains p2's are k3la's with one bell removed and usally one bell fouled
and the train bell on the cab car is even worse than the horn
