It's a Third Generation (aka "Over the Road") K5LA. They have become abundant during the last few months, since CSX has initiated it's "horn modification" project. I believe the manual valves are also being replaced to solenoid valves in this project.
The main problem with this horn lies within the diaphragm, which sounds horrible, and the 5 bell, which is WAY too sharp. The 4a bell is kind of lame too.
Thanks. I didn't have to wait on this one. I don't railfan this line becuase I have no patince. We were crossing the tracks and I saw a light off in the distance, so we pulled over
That's not stealth, its YN1 paint scheme...
