UP 6936 with awful sounding horn

[Barricade360]

man what the hell did they do with the m5 they had mounted on her? i loved listening to that m5

[trainz675]

dose it have the origional moter in it?

[crossinggate84]

I like that horn. Nice catch! Those huge units are RARE.

[Roboman2121]

@crossinggate84 I agree. I think the horn on this locomotive makes hauling passenger cars sound a lot more pleasant. I mean, it fits with the mood of, "Yeah! I have this great new horn and I'm hauling passenger cars behind me! And it works!" You know, that came out wrong. What I meant to say was that that horn + passenger cars = a pretty good combination.

[ajracer101]

Thumbs UP if you like this horn

[ajracer101]

I love that horn!

[bigboy4016]

Sounds nice... lol

[Hickler90]

A tiny bit of Harmonic overblow, sounds amazing otherwise. Reminds me of my ex Santa Fe S3L

[Barricade360]

there were 2 dda40xs that were built with sirens only two of them though im not sure if either of those two locomotives survived with the sirens

[RocketRodder]

Horns are meant to sound horrible. People will avoid them that way. :P

[ble909]

reminds me of conrail SD60I's

[rickychas]

You should hear the 6946's horn bellowing through the Feather River Canyon. The most beautiful locomotive air-horn in the world!

[alu24jg]

i love the sound of that horn ,,,, great video

[DieselSmoke92]

That looks like a really wierd looking locomotive and sounds wierd too lol...looks short and stubby in the front.

[AVtrainz1998]

[SupersonicJellyBean]

[UP5140SD70M]

[hasnachos]

its no that bad. i've heard some that sound like lame truck horns

[CSXKid5016]

Sounds like a damn boat..

[DJ4000VOLT]

[kmillard]

I've heard worse horns.

[BillHager1]

dats a big ass loco

[joshmeister4449]

well what do you expect from UP?

[Bartman1764]

@joshmeister4449 your thinking of CP

[joshmeister4449]

@Bartman1764 nah, i love CP, not this filth railroad.nice horn though

[moonwalker5058]

Why didnt they keep that M5 on this awesome locomotive?:(

[daltonauto]

That's a S3LR

The Nathan M5 sounds cool....

[daltonauto]

That's a S3LR

The Nathan M5 sounds cool

[randommagnum]

@HarveyHenkelmann

Yeah buddy! They need to take apart the #44 chamber and clean it, and then throw some shower caps on all three of them. What they really should do is restore it to the original glory of the S-5T. That's what those Centennials first had.

[wonka12321]

It sounds terrible. For everyone who is living near to the rails it´s a hell to hear it every day!

[EastCoastTrainVideos]

are you kidding, that horn sounds great.

[welder541]

What a beautiful train. that locomotive looks AWESOME!!! Like a twin engine dragster. I just Love those old domed pullman style cars. And yes a Nathan k5la would improve the image a bit:):):):):). GREAT VIDEO thanks for sharing.

[Metracab123]

Thats A Beautiful M5

[kindbluey]

Sounds OK to me................

[844jim]

it's had several horns over the years as they've been ripped off on more than one occasion.

[vmgr252]

and I thought I was a train geek.

[kmillard]

I've heard worse.

[ACLTony]

Didn't it have a Nathan K3L series horn before? Someone posted a pacing vid where the K3 sound was clearly obvious.

[martinlumber]

Fouled S3L......not bad, though.

[CountVonBoco]

Yeah.. sounds like the 44 bell is clogged, or something is fouling it. 32 sounds like theres something with it as well...

[socalrailfanner]

More like a Leslie RS5-T or RS3-L

[DAKRUPAINATER]

I think it has a nice horn!!

[AODProds]

I don't think this horn sounds awful. Maybe not as good as an M-5, but it still sounds kind of nice.

-Alex

[BootPatrol]

I agree, Alex, this horn does sound good, and it's on a Centennial.

Not bad!

[TrainsforGTA]

They did change the horns now. The Leslie RS3L was taken off and was replaced by a Nathan M5....."King of Horns" and it does sound awesome

[JGASU08]

Nice, the horn is cool but more like a Conrail horn.

[Metracab123]

I Like That horn! It Is The Origanal I Think

[five0fan]

THis is music to my ears!!

[OmahaTom]

That train set sure is clean and shiny! Cool vid

[ronthecyborg]

I wouldn't say the horn sounds awful. I don't think it fits the DD40, but it's not bad. Better than those new K5LLA's at least...

[five0fan]

You are totally right.

[TrainTrackTrav]

Keep in mind I'm dislexic. Anyway, sounds great to me.

[fafnir242]

Well, the 6936 did have an M5 at one point, but I'm glad they put the RS3L back on. It does it more justice.

[gp40mc]

nice engine, bad horn

[retsoftware]

It had a much better sounding horn in 2007, with a nice echo in the Feather River Canyon.

Go here...

Union Pacific DDA40X Meets BNSF ES44DC at Virgilia Siding

[UPTRAIN]

I really don't think that horn sounds right for that engine. Maybe it's the fact that 6936 is the only Centennial to ever have one, and for a short time. It just sounds weird for what your looking at. Now, a WP GP40, that's a different story.

[ConrailForever]

That Leslie sounds a lot better than those annoying horns on the SD70M-2's and ACE's

[UPTRAIN]

Those obnoxiously loud K5LLA's are the only Nathan Air Chime products I've liked the sound of since old casting P5's and P3's.

[MaxInterjects]

I'll take that horn over a UP K3LA "screecher" any day.

[SPGP60]

I AM SOOOO WITH YOU ON THAT ONE!!!

[kelbym07]

I third that!!

[mafarnz]

Well put!

[tipdrip215]

this horn isnt bad at all. not perfect, but it has the S power chambers, which commonly squealed, the RS chambers from leslie fixed this problem.

[UPTRAIN]

You are absolutely correct.

[helloween1987]

is not that bad the horn... i ve heard worse horns out there.... take care =)

[alexnscn]

wtf? the dd40x is suppose to have a m5!!

[furryfurball1221]

very nice, it sure would sound nice w/ a Leslie RS3l

[SPGP60]

that is an RS3L on there!! it just isnt working completely!

[UPTRAIN]

It's just a S-3L, it doesn't have the improved power chambers.

[andersersand]

I personally like the horn normally. But that sounded bad

[gunjeep444]

I got some good shots of in Lexington, NE on 19 April, they were doing a crew change.

[TPWRAILFAN]

i wish i could see it in peoria tomorrow but it suppose to come 10 minutes after i get off from school and i live 20 miles away from peoria
