QUOTE: Originally posted by CopCarSS I guess the K5LA would have to be my favorite air horn, but oh how my ears pine to hear a CB&Q O5A/B whistle in person. Think the folks over at Colorado Rail Museum would notice if I piped a couple hundred pounds of steam pressure up to the whistle on 5629?

QUOTE: Originally posted by erikthered I think my hometown railroad, the New Haven, had a unique set of air horns mounted on their passenger locomotives. (If you see the movie SUPERMAN with Christopher Reeve, there is a New Haven commuter train with the same horns running over an NYPD detective.) Maybe someone out there can ID what those horns were- but they were my favorite. Erik
