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.

S5T BABY! One mean SOB. I have the Pentrex MKT DVD and it's nothing but S5Ts. Awesome!
I'm not a horn guy so whatever is on the engine is fine with me.

Did HESR 5175 sound the same as CMGN 5175?
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.

Oh you are right! I never really noticed that they didn't put HESR on the engine.
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.
