NS eastbound intermodal train flying through Fostoria

[meccaturbo]

It's going to sound a little different than the original Southern P5's, because those were P12345 (all bells forward), whereas this one is a P135R24. The doppler effect and sound compression (due to the moving train) make the two types of horns sound different, even though they have the exact same bells.

[meccaturbo]

Nickel Plate line, right?

[VArailfan89]

Yep, this is the former NKP Fostoria District

NICE P135R24!

[nsgevo89]

Yeah, it sounded pretty good. That's one of the better P135R24 horns that I've heard during the almost seven years that I've been railfanning. I was surprised to see that this horn was slapped on a 9800-series Catfish, I didn't think that they mixed horns around on the newer Catfish units. It was funny, because I noticed that the headlight was burned out on this one, so only the ditchlights were on LOL

Thanks for watching!

@nsgevo89

Yeah, I've seen a horn swap done before. It was on NS GEVO #7504. When it was built, it had a K5HL, as of August 2009 it had a Leslie RS3L, and as of December 2009 it had a K5LA.

[UndertakerRocks123]

yeah it was nice

[seth0923]

i wouldnt say flying thats a 40 mph track and that if either the 218 or the 217 and trains suck by the way

[graysonator123]

i hear that horn on the only HH SD40-2 in spartanburg. lol.

[6V92TA]

those horns sound simply beautiful!!!

[norfolkdash9]

YES

[nsgevo89]

I love those horns too! They're my favorites!

[fafnir242]

The P5 is probably the most spectacular horn known to man.

[gamingguy492]

were those dash 9's?

[nsgevo89]

Yes, they were. The lead unit had a horn that you usually find on old Southern units.

nice vid man. fostoria ohio is the place to be for train action.

not really flying though, granted it's fast but the speed limit on Norfolk Southern crossing the C&O diamond is 35 mph. same for C&O crossing the Norfolk Southern diamond.

but it was a great catch there. keep up the good vids.

[nsgevo89]

Thank you! Y'all can call me Joey if you want. Joey or nsgevo89, doesn't matter. :)

[nsgevo89]

Thanks, I really enjoyed this spot!

[Railfan19960]

cool:]

[nsgevo89]

My favorite is the Nathan P135R24 horn (the one in this video). :)

[luvtrains]

Mine too ! That horn says SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Reminds me of visiting relatives in Harrodsburg, Kentucky (Southern - now Norfolk Southern) goes right through Harrodsburg)and watching trains - right behind my Grandma's backyard.

[norfolkdash9]

Thats my favorite too!!!

[Railfan19960]

nice vid, What is your favorite type of horn? I am a K5LLA freak:]
