[skinnyshit8888]

what a weird horn on that UP train.

[taylorveldman3832]

@skinnyshit8888 Single chime A200, a lot of BNSF GP39M's have them, and some SW9's on shortlines

[Seaboard1321]

@taylorveldman3832 An A200 plays a low D#. This was just a fouled K3LA with the #1 and #3 bell not playing. It kinda sounds like an RS25 but its a Nathan.

[taylorveldman3832]

@Seaboard1321 Well, now I know who to go to if i need horn help.

[airRail76]

Awesome video! Good colors, camera work and details! Always good to give details! I wonder where the VRE unit was going??? Nice catch! Fav too!

[taylorveldman3832]

@airRail76 Thanks! I believe that VRE unit was going to the CSX because that runs through Virginia, and the GO Transit was being haded over to the CN as it will go to Ontario, as it says on the side.

@taylorveldman3832 Thank you haha
