At least the one we heard did. It doesn't seem quite as shrill - still loud - but not so high pitched. Anyone else notice? <br />[/quote]Yes I have Mookie. All of the UP's ES45AC CTE's have the low pitch horn blow tone. As for the SD70ACe's,Well that's another thing[:D]. Those suckers are LOUD! <br />Allan. <br />[/quote] I am "learning again" - so need to ask...... <br /> <br />Have seen BNSF 7680, 7682, 7687, 7719 and 7749. Are these GEVO's and what is their actual "name" - see all Allan's #'s above. <br /> <br />[%-)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The BNSF 7680 and the others in question are all called ES44DC by the BNSF. <br /> <br /> BNSF 7680 ES44DC WHL 02-19-2005 42.50 EVT.
