POLL: What is your favorite train horn?
I am kind of a horn geek (along with several other people on this board), so I am curious to see what everyone's favorite horns are. So of the above, what is your favorite horn? You can vote twice. I am not perfect with horns and what engines they are usually on, so if I am wrong, feel free to correct me. If your favorite horn isn't on here, please comment what your favorite horn is.

Did HESR 5175 sound the same as CMGN 5175?S5T (CPMY 7014, HESR 5175, HESR 5086)
I'm not a horn guy so whatever is on the engine is fine with me.
Re: POLL: What is your favorite train horn?
As far as I know, yes, but I may be wrong. I remember hearing that horn on 5175 for as long as I have been going to Durand. I started going to Durand in 1998.GTW6401 wrote:Did HESR 5175 sound the same as CMGN 5175?S5T (CPMY 7014, HESR 5175, HESR 5086)
Re: POLL: What is your favorite train horn?
That one went right over your head. Its always been CMGN 5175.
Re: POLL: What is your favorite train horn?
Oh you are right! I never really noticed that they didn't put HESR on the engine.
Re: POLL: What is your favorite train horn?
Well the 5175 does have a good sound to it.

One (or maybe more) of Grand Elk's units in GR has a horrible horn. Sounds kind of like those stupid horns on the South Shore "bus on rails" passenger trains.

Grew up with S5Ts. No train horn can compare.
