Eddy Spaghetti A200s are definitely an icon of railroading. I like sounds that are beautiful and up-beat like the P7 and Mixed p5, I’ve loved the M5 since I was like 7 or 8, it’s a sad tune and reminds me that railroading is a dying job, and it’s vital for us rail-fans to document and record trains to saver the memory.

Most diesels from different railroads such as the Penn Central have standard Nathan k5lla horns. When I'm up in Oregon with my mother, I hear the Nathan k5lla and the new cast Nathan P3 along with a Nathan raised letter k3la from either the Union Pacific or the Central Oregon and Pacific railroads
@@djtrainman2 nope, I only hear the Nathan new cast P3, the Nathan raised letter k3la and the Nathan k5lla from the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad, which is the only railroad of its kind that I see in Oregon when I'm with my mom
For me, a K5 of any sort is solid, just not the best; a Nathan P of any sort is too harsh but a Nathan M is quite pleasant, and the Leslie RS3L is really nice.
@@roadrailsrunwaysofwny K5LA's are way too overrated and over used, they just sound like a regular plane Jane train horn and I don't understand what the big deal is about them. And p5s sound just like an m5.
That's a K5HLA, they do sound similar to K5LLAs. The difference is that the K5HLAs have an american tuned 4A bell and a 5 bell, with the bell sequence of 1L, 2, 3, 4A and 5. The K5LLA has a 3A, with the sequence of 1L, 1, 2, 3A and 4A.

The A200 is just too iconic to be anyone’s favorite
2:03 Lord, that K5LA plays a beautiful melody! Especially with the echo and the doppler!

Almighty Doge I really dig the Nathan K5la
Great video. So glad you labeled the horn types. In my perfect world only the A200 would be used! There are some runner ups.

2:29 I’m a metra railfan and 166 has the mixed cast p5 but I’ve never heard it
doesn’t 1073 have a new horn?
because I caught it leading last month and its horn sounds different
Damn that mixed cast p5 sounded 🔥!! And the 80s k5la will always be one of the top dogs for sure.
Man, that PC heritage unit sounds badass!
Ofc before its horn got stolen

Holy shit that was either an EX D&RGW or SP SD40T-2!! The RJ Corman
I've gotten the A200, RS3L, RS5T, and K5LA. I also like P3 and S3L
I love that classic horn
K5LLA is my favorite one
You really do have good taste in train horns A lot of them are also among my favorites I v e never been very fond of the Nathan M5 horn
UP 8952's Mixed Cast P5 is actually a Mixed Cast P5A
I like all train horns
1:00 roblox rails unlimited ultra freight horn
Where did that P7 audio come from?
Im in love with the L&N M 5, on the Clinchfield 800 F7, they had a M5 on it
M5s are definitely one of the best horns tone wise ever made, if I'm not mistaken the loudest even beating the K5LLA
Did the L&N F’s have the M5?
@@johnathanhardin152 yea they did, also A200’s
@@Snakeman-kw5ns I'm pretty sure the L&N equiped some on their RS series units too
@@buccaneerrailfanning1776 I agree I love the sound
The M5 sounds like a steam whistle, at least a little bit.
Csx 969, how can you tell that's a hybrid k5hla? It sounds like a standard k5lla to me
mixed cast p5 are very nice
I get to hear a M5 irl next week hopefully!!!
Yea she’s not as loud as I thought but still a loud, beautiful horn
3:05 back in the good ole days when NS 1073 still had it's K5LLA and not that narrow font garbage.
Narrow Font is Great
I also like some of these horns
Leslie A200 horn as if similar Container Ship horn. ln this video l liked 80's K5LA and K5LLA horns

*beautiful*
P7????????
The 8th one sounds familiar to a rails unlimited train.
(It’s the ultra freight lol)
Correct!
My top 5
5. Canadian Nathan M3
4. Canadian Nathan K5L
3. Nathan P3
2. Nathan K5LA
#1. Leslie RS5T
0:00 That actually is a Wabco E2 Horn but they are basically the same thing
The ef4 Little Joe has the exact same horn. Gustavo from Thomas & Friends season 24 is based on the ef4 Little Joe
For me, a K5 of any sort is solid, just not the best; a Nathan P of any sort is too harsh but a Nathan M is quite pleasant, and the Leslie RS3L is really nice.
There is no such thing as a K5HLL. It's a normal 3rd gen K5HL or I could be wrong.
CSX 969 has a K5HLA, not a Hybrid K5la
The Nathan K5HLL, Nathan P3 and the Nathan K5LLA are the best horns in all of hornkind.
what about K5LAs and P5s
@@roadrailsrunwaysofwny K5LA's are way too overrated and over used, they just sound like a regular plane Jane train horn and I don't understand what the big deal is about them. And p5s sound just like an m5.
you could never call K5LAs overrated and how are they overused you need eardrops
Csx 969 has a K5HLA
Yeah I didn't know all the horn types back then, wish I could've changed it.

The nathan P7 isn't a thing
Well yes and no. It was kind of like a personal project for someone, look up P7 horn. I thought it sounded pretty cool so I threw it on the list
Here is the UA-cam link: ua-cam.com/video/FwgqrnlMBY4/v-deo.html
The P7 was a private horn for an A&A excursion train and an R&N coal train, which is why they only made 3 examples.
It’s is, it’s just not an official design but a custom design
