That has to be the most ominous airhorn I've ever heard-I can tell it's a P5, but not like any I've heard-the 645s in full throttle doesn't hurt either
Actually, you might have a point. I just saw NS 2550 recently and it had an AWESOME P5! I live along the NS, and I definitely have sentimental to NS, don't get me wrong. I guess I just hadn't heard an awesome P5 in a while.
@LotusbandicootRR its alright, i live in alabama so iv'e grown up with CSX and ns so it's alright. i just know it because ns P5's are more clear than IC, thats the signature of the throughbred, Norfolk Southern:)
how is that full thottle? it seems not

@RailfanningRulez Its full throttle because he is in Run 8. Why does it seem not?

That P5 has a series of new cast/old cast bells, wish I knew what they were so I can make that chord with it with the 3 that a own. :)

The #4 bell on this P5 is not sounding... and the P5 is one of the few horn types that can actually sound better with a silent bell!

Great shot! Is that a mixed-cast P-5? It sounds better than most of the entirely new-cast ones I've heard.
