The Leslie SL-4T mainly found a home on Amtrak's EMD. SDP40P locomotives. Later they were replaced with Nathan K-5LA's. An interesting sounding horn the SL-4T.

  • ACL Tony, you are absoluty right! I have many audio clips I made of the SDP's with the Leslie's sounding like they should. K-5LA's started to appear in the 80's.

  • HEY THIS IS THE SL4T THAT WAS MADE FOR TRAINZ!!!

  • Have you heard of the game Trainz?

    Some guy had a recording of the first horn blow in the video put on one of the trains.

  • That is heaven on a truck right there! Were did u get tht? Nd if u put it together urself bravo nd were did u get the parts?!

  • What and awesome great sounding horn! I suppose owning one is out of the question!

  • Hearing this is also "bittersweet" for me as a wonderful friend of mine who was a SCL locomotive engineer that often ran Amtrak SDP40fs, passed away in 09. Inspite of the derailment issues on some lines, he told me that liked the SDP's great pulling power and never had a problem running them.

  • @DeltaPhi79 Thats not odd its howw its supposed to be done!!!

  • Since I really can never tell the difference in a lot of horns, this sounds almost identical to a K-5LA to me lol. And I find it odd how in almost EVERY video that someone blows a horn on their truck that they do the railroad crossing signal.

  • Awesome SL-4T! I wish I could see one in person.

  • @nssd70m2 They sound a D# Chord just like a K5H.
