WABCO (Westinghouse Air Brake Co) AA-2 Locomotive Horn

[cweis127]

That's not really rare, it was used widely on the NJT commuter railroad on their locomotives

From the nameplate logo, I'd say it is less than 10 years old.

MSG me for DETAILED info on this horn. You Tube won't let me post links.

@JohnBee76 Thanks for the info! I actually found a bunch of stuff on the horn after I posted this...another user was very helpful. Thanks though!

If you bought one new it's about $900-950.

I read WABCO came out with this horn about 1934 and it's still made today. It's been used mostly on push/pull cab cars, subway cars, and electric multiple unit passenger cars but rarely on locomotives. See the video, "Farewell to the P&W Bullets high-speed runby with nice AA-2 horn blasts and Doppler."

The guards on the front are stock and there main purpose is to keep build up of snow out of them.

The New Jersey Transit arrow 3 rail cars have AA-2 horns.

@EcoDiscElevators That is cold!! That was how cold the windchills were the day this was filmed. Yuck!

@kb3mzw thanks for the response! I saw that single horn on ebay, but I'm wondering if a dual-tone AA-2 is more valuable than 2 singles? Hmmmmm...

found a single horn one on ebay just like yours with a short bit of info if it helps.if a single horn is going for $179.00, multiply that price by 2 and you can value it at ($358.00). listing says single horn versions of these were used on early locomotive switchers. to me, this particular dual model sounds almost exactly like the ones used on early South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) trains.
