Good k3la

[silicon212]

The GEVO sounds like it has a K3LA instead of the K5HL they mostly came with.

@silicon212 You are partially right.

BNSF 5833 had its original horn replaced with a Canadian-tuned K[3]H.

[silicon212]

You sure about that? This sounds like B major, the Candian tuning is D minor.

[LukeBNSF]

@silicon212 On another video of that unit, it sounded more like a D minor to me.

What was your speed?

[ColinFWheeler]

I think I was going around 50 (somewhere between 50 and 60). This was just outside of Memphis, TX. The speed limit changed to 40 once I got to Memphis, so I had to slow down, and I couldn't keep up with the train.

Is there any way to find out what train number this was? It looks like BNSF has deactivated its Train Tracker system. I know that BNSF has ~500 dedicated coal trains each day (according to their web site).
