Unusual Horns on Freight Locomotives

Here we have three unusual/irregularly placed train horns. These were all recorded on the same day.

1. BNSF C44-9W 4811 with a Leslie RS3K; considered MAJORLY outdated on modern freight locomotives. This horn was more common in the late 1970's to 1980's. Normally these GE C44-9W locomotives are equipped with Nathan K3LA horns.

2. Union Pacific SD70M 4519 with a Nathan K5LLA. Normally these EMD SD70M locomotives are equipped with Nathan K3LA horns but this one has a horn much like that of an EMD SD70ACe.

3. BNSF 4176 with a Nathan P3. This horn is commonly found on Union Pacific's old Southern Pacific fleet.

@Pompadour123 Speaking of two-chime horns, there was a K2 on one of the BNSF dash9-44cw engines. (Bell #3 was gone. Just #2 and #4.)
