The GS-4 was the most beautiful steam engine that ever touched the rails.

No, I don't, but here in Charlotte we have Siemens S70s and I know the horn is loud enough but not anywhere near heavy rail volumes if you are in front of the train, pretty quiet if you are beside the train, and inaudible if you are 100 yards behind the train.
