Sweetness

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

The taste of victory, is it not?

[Caltrain927]

That's a Nathan P3

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

It is? I heard it and did wonder if it was..

[fleecejackets]

Imo it's a P5, it just sounds higher pitched because the video isn't with an approach

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Make up your minds, I usually can't tell the difference between a P5 & P3 that well. Its tough here cause at first it sounds like a P3, then a P5. So..

[fleecejackets]

Well it seems like a matter of interpretation. Unless one of us climbed up on the dang thing it's likely gonna be undecided. Every railfan has their opinion! : )

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

sounds like a P3 if you listen to it at first, I think it is, cause, it doesn't sound lower pitched as a P5.

[fleecejackets]

Yeah that was the point I was tryin to make -- but you never know. They could have installed two horns like they do on some high nose GP38-2's. If you look on the video by UFO151, there's an ex-SOU unit where the hogger blew each of the two horns for a crossing. But I highly doubt they'd have a horn on the long hood for a road unit like an SD70 LOL!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Yea I've noticed that already on the Geep High Hood's. But that would be QUITE interesting, but I agree, doubtful..

[fleecejackets]

Yup -- I wish NS would get some Leslies though. With so many GEVO's on CSX, it's hard to see many leslies on road units

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Leslie's are becoming more and more scare by the day. I don't even know if the Leslie company still makes them. But CSX And NS like these newer horns for whatever apparent reasoning.

[fleecejackets]

I agree. It beats me why they like them. Maybe they use 'em just to tick off us railfans ha! That's why I love old power. Old power almost always means old horn. CSX B36-7 -- old cast K5LA or maybe an RS5T (I think u saw one with an RS5T!). Former CR/PC GP38-2... RS3L! Good stuff.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Yea its always nice to get the older goodies before they're gone, and actually, I've never caughten a B36-7 on point of a train yet. I did catch CSX SD40-2 8018 with a RS5T before

[ANDREWAMTRAK]

@xxxDeath9572xxx Yes Leslies are still made but the prices are so expensive nobody buys them, 900 bucks just for a 5 chime manifold.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Oh, I didn't know that. Thank You for telling me.

[pengapop12]

ugh man thats a new cast p3, the old cast seceond generation ones sound the best it think

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

That's an old cast P3... It just sounds different with the Doppler effect.. The newer P3's are MUCH louder.

[pengapop12]

welli see that now, but it does sound alot like an new cast p3, i hate the new cast ones

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

I know it does.. The local railroad by me used to have old cast P3's, and now they have P3's that sound a bit different and are much louder

[GhostFearMe]

very nice

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thank You.

[fleecejackets]

Awesome video Ian! Perfect P5, and sweet with an ex-CR D8-40CW trailing to boot! Great shot 5*!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks Kyle, when I heard the P5 and saw the leader, I was stunned!

[fleecejackets]

No problem! And I know -- you were probably expecting an ex-SOU unit or D9-40CW right!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Wouldn't have been amazed, then again this was a win-win lash-up! I haven't seen a dash 8 on NS lead for a long time!

[NS6677]

Now thats a classic horn! Not the C40-9W or SD70M-2 crap!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Most Certainly So!
