BNSF 9752 w/sick horn leads a coal train south at Route 13

Hey look, a vomit bonnet AND a vomit horn!

Okay, I know that's not actually a vomit bonnet, but it's the same colors, so close enough.

That actualy is not a horn it is a Dying Gohfer

This is a example of what happens to just about every single K3HA thats on the BN SD70MACs, Diaphrams have cracks or busted big ass holes right in the middle of them, causing them to sounds for a quick second like this example, beginning of each blow the horn is tuned, more pressure makes the diaphram pieces inside the trumpet bounce around causing the effect it does. :)

it was in tune with its own prime mover

OK, so who else thought for a second that the guitar was the sick horn advertised in the title? ;-)

[trainguyONR]

hahahaha i completely agree, i thought the same thing

[BNSF2184]

It now has a RS3K.

sweet video.

I didn't even know that was the horn at first, I thought it was whailing from the traction motor. That horn is still 5x better than the typical overblowing P5 or crap newcast P3 on NS. Awesome SD70MAC trio, especially the BN leader. I think I saw 9752 on an ethanol train the other day, I have to look at the number again.

[heelblocks]

I was sitting down when i heard the gates go down. I didnt even hear the horn when it was coming,lol. Ya I agree but the P5s on most of the IC SD70s sound great. Cool we saw the same power!

[o00o00ozy]

It's rare, but a good P3 or P5 can be heard on NS, it's generally the 3rd generation P5's on the few Dash-9's that have them which sound great. A clean P5, especially the older generation, is an awesome horn, though Leslie RS-5T is my favorite.

[railfanalways]

Standard K3LA. I've had a UP SD40M-2 with a horn that sounded similar.

I HATE THAT HORN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heelblocks]

[BNSF9250]

[EJE665]

Wow, that's the worst SD70MAC horn I've ever heard! It's time for that engine to be visiting the shop for a new horn!

[heelblocks]

I Know!

[CoastStarlight11]

Hard core horn action!

[heelblocks]

Ya it was!

[rockchickvw]

Well considering I don't know much about horns... But I like it. You're right though, it is pretty quiet.

[CQDX018]

Little different but its pretty much a SD70M horn.

[heelblocks]

Well it doesnt sound the way the SD70s normally sound though.

[RailfanAlex]

Hmmm, I don't like it. When you wrote sick horn, I thought you meant "awesome" horn lol!

[heelblocks]

LOL, no I seriously meant it was sick, cough cough.

[amtrak60]

The horn was very quiet. That is what I think.

[heelblocks]

Ya I thought it was very quiet.
