Sounds of train horns, heard from Darien Lake, NY

[trainguy2020]

I love these horn recordings! I remember the second gen k5LA's alot in Orlando. They're really creepy, especially from the leaving sound.

Something tells me you live near Darien Lake.

@dangerella76 I'm not too close, actually. I don't go there very often.

I always loved hearing this in the distance in the morning when I was young

I'm not an expert when it comes to train horns, but I do know a great recording when I hear one. Bloody nice work, very well done. I'll listen to this repeatedly next time insomnia gets the better of me, as these put me right to sleep same as they did when I was very young.

3rd clip was of another K5HLL horn. Low tone.

[Cchrisbud813]

Actually, that's the same K-5HLL as in the first clip. I took the clip minutes after I took the first one, as the train was passing a closer rail crossing.

GEVOs in the distance at the fist 2 clips.

i think the first is a minorly fouled K5HL. at first it didnt sound bad at all. but u could tell it was a bit weird sounding in the 2nd clip. but definitely a K5HL. and the 5th sounded like some kind of hybrid.

[Cchrisbud813]

I wonder if it might be a K5-HLL horn. When I compare the two, the K5-HLL seems to have more of a minor chord, unlike the K5-HL. The 3 bell still is a bit fouled either way.

[tipdrip215]

i didnt start to hear about this K5HLL until very recently. im still trying to compare the tone of the two to get the differences down.

[NSwannabeEngineer]

It is a K5HLL horn my friend.

[NSwannabeEngineer]

2nd clip was of a K5H horn. Very common up in Canada.

[tipdrip215]

yep. thats probably my 3rd favorite horn, ahead of the K5HLL and behind the RS3L and RS5T.
