Y would you want a K5 Chan, they SUCK! Even more so with the new ones, they are so outa tune! they make them like they dont know what there doing. Please i like the older K horns but any Leslie can rule over any K horn any day! but NOTHING BEATS M HORNS an M5 will blow any horn outa the water.
Chan is an opposite railfan, he likes Catfish and stuff nobody else likes. Hehehe :) Did you ever hear a K5LLAMATT horn? They are extremely rare, but awesome. I have one on film and I'm posting it soon, it's NS SD50 5414. I originally thought it was a Leslie RS5T, but it sounded too loud. It really tops out the modern K series, all units should get a K5LLAMATT, 100x better than a original K5LLA. It is a custom horn, and so far, this is the only one I found on the NS roster.
Now that I found out it is a K5LLAMATT horn on NS 5414, I am not all too disappointed, it is a rare custom horn which sounds like no other K series, kinda like a modern RS5T if you could imagine that. PRL has cool horns on their units which sound similar to RS5T's, although I am not sure what they are, and they have 3 bells I think.
Hahahaha are you serious? Hey it isn't an M3, probably a fancy Leslie or P series, check out my video with the Lancaster and Northern PRL U-Boats, at minute 6 you can hear the horn.
It's not out of tune, it's actually an RS3L-R which means one bell is reversed. They sound better all bells forward, but railroads prefer to have at least one bell reversed, generally.
I agree with yadkin. Not a major foul, I think a bit of overblow. Perhaps just one loopy bell, though I can't tell which one. The S-25 has some nice ring to it, which is what makes me really like this particular horn on the 5413.
That's the Conrail sound I remember when I was little...

We don't need another K5LA, we need more Leslie. And this one is no exception!

GREAT VID the locomotives rock. Was that an empty welded rail train???
1225hubbard 4 years ago
This was all intermodal, the cars at the end you are probably confusing with a empty welded rail, these things actually carry flat bleds.

well yeah, they sound more pleasing than K5s.
tipdrip215 3 years ago
I like the K5LA. Sure, it's not as great as the RS3L, but it's still an awesome horn. Personally, my favorite is the K5H.
fafnir242 3 years ago
im all about the king, the RS5T. i like K5LAs made during the 70s and 80s, those are generally the best sounding.
tipdrip215 3 years ago
Whoo!! I'd say it doesn't happen too often. Normally I'd see these units haul locals and hang out in the rear of train. Nice Job!

I know you love those RS3Ls! Just wait for that RS5T, it's prety amazing, I'll post that ASAP.
o00o00ozy 4 years ago
Of course I love it, I love all Leslies. I really do Wish 80-G would of came by, Im bummed he didnt, I havent heard an RS5T in person for years now.
Hickler90 4 years ago
Well you will love this footage, nothing like a slow roll-by and then a speedy doppler! Prior to 9/26, I haven't heard a RS5T for years as well.

Yeah, there is no way it can be a P3, too Leslie-like.
