@@WeenyBeanyHere Oh the old NF2 horn it had some time ago? Yeah I didn’t mind it either when it was fresh sounding, It was starting to sound a bit funky which is the reason they swapped it with a new one I believe.

Fresh!! Sounds good man... this has been on my radar for a while but it hasn't come West! Sounds similar to the 184 horn when it wore the Phase 4 paint. I like it!! I rate this top 10 for sure! I personally like it over the 181 I got recently They both are good just different sounds...

@@AmtrakCal462 Omg now that you’ve said that I can sort of hear how it sounds almost like 184 did I didn’t notice it at first! And yeah I saw your video on the 181, she’s solid! I agree about 130 being better than 181 as well. It still blows my mind to hear 130 still hasn’t came out west yet because it has been in this heritage scheme for a long time now.

I hate to say this but 130 will not be making any trips to the West Coast ever again because he received a new PTC system called ACSES (which all Northeastern P42s have) about a couple years ago and is constrained to the East Coast as a Northeastern based locomotive as a result of that. He will definitely still be seen going in and out of Chicago, but on East Coast routes only

@@Rohrbach00 No wonder why I have been seeing 130 a lot over here more than usual these past couple years, that honestly sucks for those who want to see it out west. Does #46 have this PTC system as well? I’m hearing from a lot of folks on the west saying 46 hasn’t made any trips over there for several years as well and I have noticed it sticks over here on the East Routes.

@@Rohrbach00 Broooooo no wonder I have seen all of these so many times recently, that absolutely sucks for the western folks that want to see any of those. That’s very interesting thanks for that helpful information, I will definitely share that with my friends who live out west who have wondered why they never come out of the East. I have noticed the most wanted numbers are 46, 100 and 108, I don’t blame those who want 46 out there so bad the K5LA on that thing slaps!
