GO Transit PH59s horn changes
Posted by dh28473 on Sunday, August 26, 2018 9:57 AM

they have changed the horns from above the cab or long hood to on top of the bell forward of the cab roof and windshield. Wonder why?

When delivered they had their horns on the long hood to make them better bearable for the crew.

Then someday the F59PH received two a/c units on top of the cab shielding part of the forward moving sound.

I think the horns were moved forward and placed in front of the a/c units to be heard good enough at the road crossing.

Just my opinion.
