Acela026 Train Guy 3 ...It is just one of those things that very by location. Do you (or anybody) have an idea of where I could find out? I've done some online research, where I could find nothing for my state, city or county that mentioned anything close to this. My thought leads me to the Oklahoma DOT, possibly contacting them about it? I don't think the people at the local DMV would be very helpful, plus it is always super busy and the workers are pretty crabby. Thoughts? Acela

I'm sure in Oklahoma y'all have some sort of state inspection station for cars and trucks. If you go by a reputable garage that does inspections there should be a knowledgable person there who could possibly answer your question or direct you to someone who can. They also may be someone who could tell you how to just get by under the law .....
TG3 LOOK ! LISTEN ! LIVE ! Remember the 3.
This afternoon we cabbed down to Council Bluffs to pull a train out of the yard. We stopped at the local Pilot truck stop as we normally do. While waiting at the check-out, I saw they had a train horn for trucks on a shelf. I don't know who makes them and I've seen them there before. Right next to them, which wasn't there before, was a similar product called, "Union Pacific Express." I don't know who makes them, or if it's a licensed product, but there's a picture of a UP diesel (from across the room looked like a SD70M, but not sure) on the box.
The horns pictured on the box appeared to be about the same.

I work for a company that builds RR Equip. we buy our horns from Nathan Air chimes. We regulate the air to 80,-90 psi otherwise its too loud. Need 1/2" air line with tank and 120psi. We buy our air operated bells from a place in oak creek wi. but I can't remember the name.
I believe the store you mentioned is J.C. Whitney, an auto parts and equipment supplier.

Speaking of stupid people, about 10 years ago a trespasser actually stole a horn off of a BNSF locomotive in the Mitchell, South Dakota yard. It was highly publicized with a reward offered for its return. About a month later, a local trucker went to a shop and wanted it installed on his rig.
The cops were waitig for him when he came back.
