ATN M715 Leslie RS5T - He Didn't Blow His Horn??? (Please read description)

[Subaruguy8508]

If you get hit with a train that has a horn like that then they should declare you mentally insane and remove your driving license!

[SteveInsurgent]

no wonder he hits cars, them idiots are trying to pass at the last sec.

Last 2 engines were old CN zebra stripes

Yesterday, I've seen a Kansas City Southern engine behind a UP engine on the same train on the UP line through Bonner Springs. A weird combo I thought.

[BamaRailfan]

@CapPicard Thanks fop watching. Yes that is a strange combo for a UP train.

Also have to say like the shave and haircut he gave ya too.

[TheMikey12561]

That was a great catch. Especially liked to see that a CSX and to CN locos have been put to use after so many years of running. Once again great catch.

[BamaRailfan]

@TheMikey12561 Thanks Mike. Actually none of these locos have any CSX heritage. The horn does though. ;)

[TheMikey12561]

@BamaRailfan Really Wow. The color looked just like CSX oh well. Now the last two they had CN heritage though didn't they?

[BamaRailfan]

@TheMikey12561 Correct. Former CN GP40-2LW. The color scheme on 2002 is Omnitrax. I'll admit it is similar to the old CSX scheme. :)

[TheMikey12561]

@BamaRailfan Thanks for clearing it up. I have a HESR video on my channel. Its the Death Train for Dow Chemical in Midland Michigan. This week I plan on getting some better videos in it. Have a look if you would like.

This locomotive's horn is also operated with a cord and wooden handle coming down from the cab roof instead of a horn lever too. :)

[BamaRailfan]

@sf5700 How many times do you reach for the handle instead, only to find there isn't one? ;) LOL

[sf5700]

@BamaRailfan

Several! LOL

[Trainlm]

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed! Please post more!

[BamaRailfan]

@Trainlm Thanks for watching! More coming soon. :)

I've mentioned this before but back during the '70s, Leslie's were all you ever heard on this line. Always GP38's, GP30s and occasionally hi-hood GP9's. Sometimes some GE U-boats but not often. At that time you would see every paint scheme they had running then...Family Lines, L&N, Chessie and very rarely the old Seaboard Coast Line black....that was almost always on the U-boats.

The last locomotives CSX assigned to this line before ATN took over were GE B3x-7's.

[BamaRailfan]

@WhoSaidTyler Too bad I was only around this area to catch the last days of CSX's operations. I vaguely remember some SCL and L&N power here on my yearly visits to family in the area. I grew up in UP territory and remember the first CSX engine I saw here. I had no clue what CSX was! LOL

@WhoSaidTyler train nerds.

[TezJ16]

Great video. He sure is making great use of that RS5T.

[BamaRailfan]

@TezJ16 Thank you! Yes, he always does. :)

[aclsal2]

This is a very nice video. I really enjoyed all the HORN action. Keep up the great work!!

[BamaRailfan]

@aclsal2 Thank you! I love that horn.

[KHVEDOR]

Nice video! Drivers let clean their ears.

[BamaRailfan]

@KHVEDOR Thank you Alex.
