  • SD40-2F! Best CP unit ever!

  • Why can't the AC4400s and ES44s have horns that sound this good? That is sweet. It's harder and harder to find SD40-2s these days, especially SD40-2Fs (which I believe are all in storage.) Heck I remember rail-fanning when the ALCOs were being stricken from service...

  • @ConrailSD80MAC Nope the SD40-2Fs are still out there as far as i know they are commonly used on the cranbrook BC line mostly going to the smelters in Trail BC

  • good ol doppler effect!

  • one person is deaf

  • I love the horn on this thing! Goose bumps!

  • If you take the #1 and #5 bells off the horn of an ES44AC, you get precisely this horn... I wish the RRs would all do that!

  • LOVE THAT HORN!

  • I use to look forward to getting woken up by this sound when I was a kid in the mid '70's.

    While camping at Shuswap Lake, B.C., these trains would haul through the night with their horn's blaring. Something you could hear echo around for miles. A sort of haunting yet beautiful sound at the same time.

  • They seriously need to rename Kicking Horse Pas to Kicking Ass Pass, because that's obviously what it does. Love the SD40-2's, especially with that nice ghost horn, man that sounded cool!

  • Sweet video!
