The Missouri Pacific engnine looks nice. Be cool if they had ES44AC heritage units like these.Rare to see engines.The SD70ACe the king of heritage's.

@up199519981982198319 Thanks for posting that. You're right, it is a K5LLA, which sounds like a K5LA that needs retuning.

@ACLTony the horn is a k5lla
-
VERY RARE!!!
-
The horn is a Nathan K5LLA. If you hear one with all 5 bells sounding, its a rare treat. The 1L bell has a tendency to foul out. They tend to keep the H-units in tune tho...

it is starting to show some wear
Very neat seeing high horsepower locomotives cruising. No mistaking that the sweet sounding horn is a Nathan K5LA (same type used on most of Amtrak's locomotives).
BTW: What speed were you traveling as you paced?

I think this train stayed right around 50MPH the whole time. I could be wrong though, it's been a while ago now.
