I saw a Yamaha Z48 Twin Turbo the other day! It was sweet, with all titanium siding and a little brass whistle!

the train gradually picks up speed as it heads south through the crossing.

Cool. I have also heard those horns on many new CSX Esd44c's near my house.

@NSalex12

Yes, CSX and NS both have that horn on a lot of their recent GE power.

[NSalex12]

What horn is this?

[theup3985]

@NSalex12

It is a first generation Nathan Airchime K5HL. These were standard on all new GE units ordered from late 2004 to around summer of 2007, and then they started switching over to the second generation K5HL's, which are the current standard on all GE locomotives since 2007.

Nope, I wasn't jogging, but joggers commonly use that grassy area over by the track.

[NSalex12]

Thats one of the best horns I ever heard! Also that has to be the best example of an American freight train.

[theup3985]
