No reason a horn should sound like this.I posted the link to this video to Joey the garden cat's Facebook fanpage to show the cats used in the beginning of the video.They might end up muting the video when they hear the so called horn.
Yaaarrrrgh, that horn sounds sick. Probably stuffed up with crud. Hope CSX maintains there engines, including the horns, as it may save someone's life.
@robertgift yah I was just in China I must agree with you especilly those airhorns on the steam and the older horns on the old China rail diesels however China Rail has some new power that appears to be from GE and they all have American horns on them like the new GEVOs here a very pleasing sounding 5 chime but those damn airhorns on that Chineese steam is Shit I rode in a few cabs OUCH he blew the whistle a few times but mostly the airhorn
in one way thats awesome, then you see thats its on a train and you go WTFH WAS THAT! and i have to agree with you, that is bad, but i heard one, oh god it was horible i had to cover my ears i said to my self "was that even a da horn?" it sounded like air hissing, just louder and with sputtering little horn blasts it was bad........luckly for CSX that was on amtrak! lol that was a bad one mmm hmmm..........
I've heard plenty of them. From a 2-bell horn I can't identify (I have a video), to a K5-LA with the fourth bell tuned down for an unusual and pretty sound. I've also heard a low 2-bell horn several times that is so quiet it shouldn't even be in service.
the simple solution is mount the horns in front of the direction of the most common trailing exhaust, and have protecting them with socks, or something over the horn to stop shit getting in them.
i agree, railroads forget that horns need to be maintained, and they end up in this state without it. most horns these days are very easy to maintain and should be.
What happened here is the soot from the exhaust got in the horn's front faving bells and completely screwed them, leaving only the rear bell (#44) to work.
No thats just cuz there stupid. The have to meet sertian FRA standards. They figured face it all forward, hmmm to loud, face it all reversed hmmm just right! they didn't take the time to try any other reversals to make it 3 forward and 2 reversed they just went with what they had! Ass holes if ya ask me!
R U serious? cuz iv heard horns that sound like those jericho trumpet air raid sirens they installed in stukas in WW2....

Worst horns are Chinese diesel locomotives.
Sound like crap. They don't bother to tune them. Their steam locomotive whistles are lousy, too.
UK pip-squeak horns are crap.
Also their ridiculousteam whistles.
Nothing like mighty, harmonious American horns and whistles.
