NS Dash 9 Horns

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, May 18, 2005 10:26 PM

What horns are on NS's Dash 9s? It looks to me like a 5-chime from the pics I have seen, but I can't narrow it down any further. Thanks for your help! Kevin [:)]

According to "Diesel Era" magazine, the horns on NS's -940CW's are Nathan K5LA-R24's.

The issue of DE that I got the Nathan reference from had specs from the first order of NS widenose -9's, so it is very possible that NS changed specs on later orders. In addition, horns do get switched during shop visits.
