@trainman122 really you dont know? its a Leslie RS3L , one of the best horns created for trains. lots of modern day railways like UP BNSF NS CSX still have them on mainline locomotives from their predecessor lines.
@trainman122 just know that this horn isnt common though on any of these railways , and that many arnt neccesarly in as good of tune as the one at this muesum.
Nice to see IRM growing up and adding the more "modern" stuff to the fleet. Glad it's not stayed small steamers like when I was a kid, but the memory of riding in the cupola of a caboose behind the shay and another steamer will be with me forever...
What a good horn...

92 has a cracked engine block. BNSF stripped its operable prime mover out and swapped it with a damaged one before they donated it.

Cool video but am I right in that the 92 is being pushed by the SD45? Nice to see it leading but wish it was actually working.

Nice! My all time favorite locomotive. Always enjoyable seeing an FP45 in action.
