[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes OK John, et al, this is one that might not be found in any book, therefore, others reading this thread may have to help you answer this question. What was the single most common horn used on Alco locomotives? I do not have the answer. Maybe LC can give us some help. I am not sure if we can even get the correct answer and if we do how will we know it is correct? The "Horn" thread made me think about this. [/quote] True, that probably cannot be found in any book. [;)] Mostly because of the fact that different RRs prefered different horns, and adding to that horns generally differed from locomotive model to locomotive model even on the same RR. I'm gonna take a stab at it; since ALCo. sold more earlier locomotive models (pre-Century) and largest sellers were the S-2 and RS-3, I'm going to guess that the most common horn (as delivered) was a single note factory standard. But, thats just a guess. If I am right, even so, most RRs probably changed the horns on those locos some time in their career. [:)][:D][8D]
