[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />Hey guys, [:)][:D][8D] <br /> <br />Regarding Jhh's story. I'm curious! [;)] <br /> <br />Does anyone know what type of horn the UP typically uses. I know it's not the popular K5La. I've seen pictures of 3 chimers on a lot of the units. I wonder if Jhh heard a <b>K5H </b>or <b>K5LA, </b>both which according to many railfans (yes, me too) have very melodic sounds. <font color="blue">CSX </font id="blue">and <font color="blue">NS </font id="blue">use these horns on a lot of their road locomotives and of course, these units have been running on UP's tracks quite a bit in the past 2 years. <br /> <br />Good websites to hear and learn the differences between locomotive horns. On your search engine (I use MSN) type "Five Chime Horn Consultants" and also "Chris' Train Horns". Jhhtrainsplanes if you go to these sights, you might be able to hear what you heard recently.[tup][^] <br /> <br />Hope you enjoy it! Peace out! <br /> <br />[/quote]UP uses a varity of air horns, but most typically today is the Nathan/Airchime K3LA.
