Wow Double engines nice They sure used A few double engines equipment imagine they doing that every week
Yep they have been running a lot of Double engine sets on the Oyster Bay branch lately which is always awesome to see!
@@Larry_P I Rode One Of Them
Nice!
Aren't these horns twice as loud as the K5LA horns on amtrak trains or NJT trains? Never heard these LIRR diesal horns in person.
Yea they are pretty dam loud when they are blown at full blast
@@Larry_P Didn't they used to have K5LA horns? Why did the LIRR replace them with louder horns? Why do they have horns louder than the ones on the M3s, M7s, and M9s? Why couldn't they just used the same horns on the Diesel Locomotives that the EMUs use? The horns on the Current Locomotives are more suitable for use on Intermodel freight trains like CSX.
Back when they were delivered into Service they had these older cast K5LAS that sounded very different than the K5LAS that some of the Locomotives have now. I am not sure they why replaced them with the K5LLS, K5LAS, K5LS, and K5LLAS. I know that the Long Island Railroad back in 2016 decided on Restricting most of their horns on the Dm30ac/De30ac Locomotives and that backfired greatly they got fined a lot of money per each horn that was Restricted they are loud because so people can hear them better cuz the Restricted Horns weren’t loud enough.
@@Larry_P So they go replace the old K5LA horns with the louder K5LLA horns used on many newer freight locomotives. Aren't those horns way louder than the RS2M horns used on the cab cars and EMUs?
From what I heard right is whenever one of the De30ac/Dm30ac locomotives horn something happens to it like it gets damaged, or starts to wear overtime they get replaced with a Brand new K5LLA horn out of the shops because they don’t make the K5LLS anymore
