GORGEOUS singing K5LA horn! One of the best ones I've heard in quite some time. Very crisp, clean sound. I just realized this video is older than the current raised letter horns we have now, which were introduced on NS's 8000 series ES44AC's as a K5HL. I would do anything to get these old K5LA horns back (square tag/round tag/narrow font/wide font (whatever era 1977-2007).

What horn is that called?

Awesome! Love the EMDs

Radiator fans and traction motor blowers, nothing to do with a turbo foamer boy

It reminds me of the 16 cylinder version of the GE engine that I would hear years ago in the NYNH&H RR U25B diesels.

Very useful when pulling alot of freight and a lash up .

Same as raising the RPM's

Load Test. Notch Number 8

Prime Mover - Powe plant

That sounds like K5H

I love the sound of this Leslie airhorn.

someone get me some napkins

Now THAT'S a horn!!!

Is that a Ex SCL GP30?

Sounds good, but prefer that EMD chant. Both engines, get the work done.

Those engines running purely on the cries of lost souls.

Thank you for this. It’s fun looking at old videos like this. I’ve been here three times.

S-5TRRO, I believe. Similar sound to N&W's RS-5T-RF.

There is no such thing as a "turbo howl" this is the fans and radiators trying to prevent the engine from overheating and altering performance or blowing the motor up. The fans are on the top of the engine next to the exhaust stack and airhorn and they make this sound when they are spinning at maximum potential. Some engines have their fans kick in like this even before the 8th notch is applied, some do it in 6 and 7 and when in 8 it becomes the loudest and fullest of potential. The sound is coming from the top of the engine and towards the rear .

what is up with the overlay over the whole video it’s unwatchable

0:26

I thought that was the horn until i heard the actual horn blare. That is absolutely and insanely cool!

It now has a RS5T

I love the sound of this horn

Kind of eerie but awesome sound! I don't like today's GE junk sounds at all!

I love that sound. I recall it when I was a boy at the age of 10 in 1963, when I saw the new Alco C-420 locomotives delivered to the LIRR (Long Island Railroad). They used the Alco V12 series 251 engines, 4-stroke cycle design as well, they were very smokey on acceleration from a stand still which was quite impressive, I even like the odor of the exhaust! My Dad took me to the LIRR station in Mineola, NY back in the very early to mid 1960's. We even saw the final service days of my favorite locomotive, the Fairbanks-Morse model CPA24-5 Consolidated Line of locomotive with the 12 cylinder in-line opposed piston diesel engine, unforgettable and fond memories of those F-M locomotives, the LIRR had five (5) of these 2,400 HP cab units, good times they were!!

It sounds like both a 🌪 a 🌀 at the beginning of the video!

Why does it sound like one cylinder is louder than the rest? I do like the fact, that it's a turbo-charged 4-Stroke, much more fuel efficient than the super-charged 2-Stroke engines.

This engine sounds just like the new commuter train locomotives in my area. I wonder if it is this engine.

Beautiful sounding horn

Guau vaya ese tren 🤣🤣🤣🤣 rapidísimo 😅😅😅

Que bonita sonrisa de trains 😂😂😂😂😅😅😊😊🎉🎉🎉

Sounds almost like full dynamic brakes with a heavy load moving down grade. I live on a steep grade and hear this exact sound a lot from trains moving down grade, but not so much going up..thats usually more of a deep thunderous droning exaust roar with a mechanical whining and a slight dash of turbo shriek from the EMDs....The GEs just bark and growl and launch plumes of smoke and fire going up grade 😮

Gevo-12 sounds better

This sounds like a 645 not a 567... exhaust note is too low. Still sounds great though!

Love the sounds of the FDL 12 cylinders, FDL 16 cylinders and the HDL 16 Gevo.❤

Oh my god

Norfolk Southern 9212

I love the gradual climb in rpm to a full gallop

Since I used to live in Jonesboro, GA, I model the Central of Georgia. I just got several locomotives and rolling stock in the Central of Georgia livery. I even have a 12 inch piece of mainline rail (120 lb.) from the Central of Georgia Railway Company. That was the official name of the Central of Georgia after it changed a couple of time. Then in 1963 Southern Railways purchased the Central of Georgia and then Southern was purchased by Norfolk Southern in 1982. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN

I’m a steam whistle collector but this has become one of my all time favorite horns.

nothing howls like an EMDs turbo

Man!!! That engineer loves that horn!!! I love the SBD Property sign on the little trestle. So Cool.

WTF?

I love that sound. Santa Fe had Leslie's back in the day, before all the mergers etc. I miss that sound.

2:30 you can clearly see that it is uphill

Perfect amount of whistle for an HO layout

Motor de 3000 HP

Imagine your taking a nice little strole on that road, then all of a sudden you hear this:

What size airline and pressure running to the setup ? Have an M3R I cannot get to fire
