Don't insult cows. They give us milk. Although some horns do sound terrible.

Speaking of air horns, did all the F and E locomotives have the same air horns? Other than some videos, the only ones I have heard in years would be the museum units [ operating ] at the Indiana Transportation Museum, and a few years back an F9 on the Algoma Central. I think the Indiana units are F7's. Whatever they are, they are a joy to hear. Were they Nathan? How many chimes or notes? Who has a good memory?

You folks need to hear the cow horns on some of the METRA F40 units, yuk! The horns on the new METRA units sound much, much better.

I really like the older horns with at least 5 chimes, the more the better, More chines sounds nicer, smoother, and more musical. [;)] Not like the loud, irritating, bland, few chimed horns of today. [|)]

I always thought the cows sounded pretty good! But then, I am a city-girl!

If you think BNSF is bland, then I want to trade them in for whatever CSX has...

They are loud and irritating - even Amtrak sounds better!
