Mega RS-3L Horn

[GhostFearMe]

extremely nice Leslie..leave it to Conrail!

[Federal3t22]

Big Blue at it's best. This is why I'm proud to own an S-3L

[xtremepadrefan]

my favorite horn nice catch

[Skiier1000]

damn...thtll let em no ur cumin. lol.

[HighIronofWisconsin]

Sweet sounding! WSOR has a couple of locomotives armed with nice RS3LRs, but Conrail Leslies just always seem to sound better than anybody else's.

[theinflator]

Great sound!

[railcar123]

Nice!! That horn rocks!

[lt1caprice57l]

And therefore less desirable with the people who would steal them - the hornblasters crowd - because they can't be easily hidden.

[CountVonBoco]

And, Since Leslie's are practically unknown to the 'Horn blaster" Crowd, they'd be less prone to theft. It would be Pretty sweet to hear some New S5Ts on CSX though.

[SpeakerPolice]

CSX is supposedly removing and scrapping their existing RS5T horns because they are 'too loud'. Sad.

This video nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Those were the days. before quiet zones, before LEDs, before E-bells, and most of all, before stupid out-of-tune K horns everywhere.

@lt1caprice57l My two crossings on the NS Lehigh Line, where I live near, got the quiet zones. I remember as a little boy my grandfather took me down to the crossing I live a couple blocks away from. I used to love the blue. When I was three years old, Conrail went bye-bye. Things started to change. Crossing gates were replaced to the stupid Safetran electronic bells instead of the old mechanical bells. What a shame.

believe it or not i saw a conrail with an rs5t before.

[cbehr91]

I believe you; they had some SD40-2s from KCS who used S-5Ts extensively on their second generation diesels.

[DCCinstalled]

Sweet!

[Hickler90]

That is one MASSIVE RS3L!

[FlyBikes089]

Conrail rules! :)

[dasmikey1964]

The Conrail number font on the cab gives it away. Ah yes, good old Conrail, used to go thru Champaign/Urbana every couple of hours.

After the split, NS goes thru only once every few days now. I kinda miss the old CR...

[cbehr91]

If I ran a railroad all my locomotives would be EMDs old & new equipped with S5Ts.

[tipdrip215]

one hot RS3L there. it sucks that we dont hear many that sound that good nowadays.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

A Faboulous RS3L! And a Nice looking Pair of Conrails! They are unpatched in this video. Or is it a subtile patch that NS is starting to use? Nonetheless an AWESOME Horn & Engine Pair

[cbehr91]

This video is ancient. It was shot well before the split. Those motors aren't even around anymore, they're not Dash-2s.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Oh, interesting and what were they. And I nver said they were dash-2's

[cbehr91]

7680 is a GP38 & 8140 is a GP38-2 . Since the first motor wasn't a dash-2 it wasn't kept much after 2000.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

ah now i understand what your saying

[HUTCHtopher]

@cbehr91 type of motor doesn't make it a dash 2, the type of electrical system does.

this video is music to my ears
