Nice catch, but I HATE those new 3rd Generation K5LA's. Its a disgrace to Amtrak and all railroads that have them. Good vid though there in Lockport.

This horn is pretty gross! The overplaying 5 bell, the bad 4a bell and bad diaphragm ruin it! It has a bad pitch! I really wish CSX and NS would stop sticking these BS horns on their new rebuild engines, and on engines that already have perfectly good horns. CSX 339 is an excellent example! It had one heck of a nice K5LAR-24, then they stuck one of these friggin' things on it! Why? Do they want their engines to put out such ugly noise pollution? Get rid of them....

SUPERB SOUND!!!

@CSXno601 yeah it does suck...i bet some RR shop guy has a ton of 1st and 2nd gen horns piling up at their house now lol.
-
I do understand why they are doing it cause there are a lot of freight trains that have K5LA's so they want to sound different most likely for track worker's so they now who is on the track at night so they no how quickly they'd need to move out of the way if they are on that track

@NWPhotographyDirect I didn't know CSX has it, but I only knew AMTK and NS had the 3rd generation K5LA
-
@lawpar79 Yeah. As far as I know, AMTK 114 and 129 also have the 3rd Generation K5LA. And yes, NS and also CSX have them as well.
-
@NWPhotographyDirect I know that even NS has them too. Amtk P42's 6 and 205 also have the 3rd generation K5LA.

I learned that horn is a 3rd generation K5LA and AMTK 98 is the 1st ever P42 that have that horn, If I'm correct, that's what some CSX Locomotives are starting to use as well. Doesn't sound awful, but of course, older is better. Good catch, Nic.
