Mega Horn!

In 2004, the FRA mandated that all new locomotives have to have horns that will be 110 decibels at 100 feet. All new GE's have Nathan K5HLs and all new EMDs have Nathan K5LLAs. Norfolk Southern SD70M-2 2555 and Norfolk Southern SD60 6615 head south through Marion, OH. The second to last car is a green Penn Central covered hopper.

ware were u wen u taped this

[cbehr91]

@CATSr2 The steps of AC Tower in Marion, OH.

[csxketh1]

is that an old house over to the left of the diamond?

[cbehr91]

No, the tower whose steps I'm standing on stood directly across the set of tracks that this train is crossing. That hut housed signal equipment.

[horselovermc]

what type of bell is that

[cbehr91]

Not sure. It's electronic not a real bell.

@cbehr91 its an e-bell.

[Renwysocki]

Really makes this intersection more than 110 decibels of noise.

This crossing should be eliminated, which seems unnecessary.

@Renwysocki Not if it is an interlocking like AC is. One train at a time across the diamond unless both are running parallel.

[madman1776]

i dont like the new horns that they have for csx or ns because nothin sounds better than a good old nicely tuned K5la

[Renwysocki]

Crossing lines of railway, the same level.

This is very dangerous.

Your right that is a MEGA HORN!
