Some of the heritage units have really throaty, deep K5LLA's, you usually know when the CNJ or PC are coming because they are definitely among some of the deepest horns.

What an awesome compilation! The shot beginning at 1:01 is truly incredible; that is about the perfect sound of a modern freight train to me, and the scene and weather are just amazing. You really do get some excellent videos in PA. Thank you for posting!
@Dan C. If there’s THAT big of a bump, no they should NOT be going that fast over it period. And the cars don’t have as good of suspension as the locomotives.
According to Nathan Airchime, “generations” aren’t a thing. Officially, they are known as “Raised Letter K5LLAs” because of the font on the back caps of the horn.
Nathan Airchime horns don't have generations. The older models are can be referred to as an Airchime K5LLA, or identified by their manufacturer tag, like "Round Tag" K5LLA. The sharper sounding horns are known as "Raised Letter" (due to the literal raised letters on the backcaps of the horn) or "Micro Precision" K5LLA.
Just a note, at 5:02, that is not a K5LLB. A K5LLB would typically have the 1L, 1, 2, 3B and 4 bells. It has to have a 3B to be classified as an LLB. K5LLBs are exactly the same as K5HLBs just on a low manifold
Pan Am Railways went with the K5LLB on their 3400 series SD40-2’s mainly because only one bell (either the 1L or the 1 bell) is facing forward while the 1, 2, 3, and 5 bells are facing backwards to reduce the noise to meet regulations. If their configuration was that of an ACe with 3 bells facing forward and 2 facing backwards then they would sound a lot more like SD70ACe’s as a result.
denault3985 you hit your head the k5lla is a sound from the heavens such a beautiful sound I think the p5 squeals to much the k5lla is loud violent and very deep sounding which is nice
@@CentralPennRailProductions yea now my laptop is a choochoo and my wife is angry she is hearing back to back train horns before work at 630am but thanks for the upload!
Northeastern Rail Photography they actually have quite a variety: K5LL is the main one, K5LLAs are becoming more common with the recent fittings of engines 409 and 509, there’s two engines running around with K5Ls, & we have a few K5LAs as well
Its a low mount K5. But so hard to tell with it being fouled. But definitely sounds like a 1L bell is the only real functioning trumpet. Sounds like one of the reverse trumpets works but barely as it went by. Sounds like a 2 time and a bunch of air hissing! 😄
central Penn rail productions when are you planing on posting your part 4 of your train horn series? let me know so I can see when you post it thanks Dylan Jones
Since NS is storing all the SD70M-2's they should put the K5LLA's on those on the SD70ACes because the M-2's have the original K5LLA horns whilist the ACes seem to have a newer one that in my opinion doesn't sound quite as pleasing. 2734 and 2667 are the best ones in this whole video.
A lot of the intermodal trains east of Harrisburg are short. Harrisburg is a major intermodal hub with two yards. East of there, traffic to Morrisville is generally not that much, as it's just a forwarding block at that point.
@@CentralPennRailProductions Oh interesting. I live on the BNSF Scenic Sub so we get a fair amount of intermodal traffic to and from Seattle and Tacoma, and when those trains are short, they still have like 80 loads or something haha.
10:47 Probably one of the best Shave and A Haircuts I've ever heard.

The reason why the K5LLA at 0:04 is sounding different because in the cold time, they always get affected by it
Same with The K5HL, 1174 & 9672
What generation is that
@@mr.bobrischew685 3rd Generation
10:46 is the best. SAAHC with a beautiful K5LLA, not to mention a Primer Cab GEVO trailing.
That is a AC44C6M
I like that one at 10:36. I noisest that at 10:47 it does a shave and a haircut!
I agree, I know the engineer on that train, and well, he always gives me horn lol
Gametrain Productions NS 1052? I caught it before and I heard it from a mile away
the second engine is a dc to ac locomotive
1:07 That horn is pretty good from a far distance!
That k5lla horn is getting the 4a kinda killed
6:34 It actually looks like it got lifted off the rails by the road!
Bouncy
They should NOT be going that fast over it.
@Dan C. If there’s THAT big of a bump, no they should NOT be going that fast over it period. And the cars don’t have as good of suspension as the locomotives.
NS fix your track!
@Dan C. “trust me it’s fine” famous last words before a derailment. You wouldn’t be a very good track inspector
Awesome. Favorite type of horn right there. I’m not sure what gen it is, but my favorite K5LLA is the really deep sounding ones.
The first gen I assume? Check out my videos of it to confirm.
3rd Gen. Same here.

I like the SD70ACe horn if it’s a K5LLA
That horn at 1:01 is my favorite. Never ceases to give me goosebumps. Great video

I back watching my favorite train horn video this video has all of the 3rd Gen K5lla's which is my absolute favorite train horn!!!!
10:46 perfect SAAHC
6:36 I've never seen and heard an Norfolk southern sd60i with an Nathan k5lla before
Csx_Trains10 I’ve never seen a SD60i bouncing like this too !
Same bro
FACTS I WAS SCRATCHING MY HEAD LIKE WHAT THE HECK THAT DON T BELONG THERE A K5LA DOES
The rails made the train bounce
You mean SD60M
6:15 6:20 6:24 6:29 6:32 *[Train Horn Blaring]*
Those K5LLAs are best horn and I surprised that GP38-2 3048 Had a K5LLA just like Long Island Rail Road had but it’s been replaced with RS3L
Yeah! The bonus was an NS mixed freight with a Pan Am (MEC) SD40-2 in the lead within a K5LLB horn. Awesome Catches of lead unit Pan Am #3400. :)
Thanks, I am glad I woke up early and drove out of my way for it because they no longer run the MEC units south of Binghamton NY
Pan Am Railways went with the K5LLB on their 3400 series SD40-2’s mainly because only one bell (either the 1L or the 1 bell) is facing forward while the 1, 2, 3, and 5 bells are facing backwards to reduce the noise to meet regulations.

Thanks again for the great videos you produce!
And thank you for watching!
Incredible shots of K5LLA action!
K5LLA, my favorite horn. I loved this video.
Tbh I definitely think 5:36 Sounds the best! Love that Music!
That made me pause when the horn blew cuz I live next to a train track
Sounds like the Roblox Chillicothe sub thundercab horn
The trailing unit behind that 1052 which was the 4123 oddly enough has a K5LLA as well, but the 1L only one that faces the cab.
.....I like the full doppler effect when they sound as they go by....awesome
Nice compilation! Loving that LOUD K5LLA!
At 6:21 I hear a k5hl far away from Ns 6772 it’s probably an es44ac or an et44ac
SD75M*
5:29 funny seeing SDPX hoppers so far from home!
Top hat trailing at 3:22 Nice catch!
First time I've seen someone call a narrow nose Dash 9 a top hat! At first I thought you were talking about the low-mounted number boards on 8366
1:00 There's a Norfolk Southern train running on a snow day 🌨🌨🌨🌨
Its like if the K5LLA was made for the SD-70ACe.
No other engine can blast it like the ace´s.
except for the de30ac or the dm30ac
10:46 best horn show ever
That’s a shave and a haircut.
Wait… how can a D9 have an SD70ACe horn?
It happens sometimes when horns get swapped or go bad and they put a new one on as a replacement.
Central Penn Rail Productions ok now that makes sense. Thanks for the info. Take care.
The UP and NS heirtege units use these horns!
7:05 sweet music to my ears
10:45 that was awesome
Pure awesomeness
I like this one 0:04
I think at 1:54 is the best sounding horn I ever heard
That beast
What a beautiful shot you got at 11:01
Yep, btw this was NS 65E
What camera you use? I love it
It's a Sony FDR-AX100
*Norfolk Southern Milepost 46.3 No Defects*
Congrats to 1168's horn at 5:41 for being in Ro-scale BNSF Chillicothe subdivision.
And Metra Racetrack
Ns 1168 sounds different early in the video in the Virginia line
Crossing Testing place too (old map)
I know for sure, P5's are much better sounding than K5LLA's...of course, the video is always great!
I am probably losing hearing because of these horns! Thanks for watching and commenting.
denault3985 you hit your head the k5lla is a sound from the heavens such a beautiful sound I think the p5 squeals to much the k5lla is loud violent and very deep sounding which is nice

melvy garcia you have a horrible taste in air horns period 😂
Lol
Yea
Now the SD70M-2’s are gone
8:35 The best of the best from a horn down the way
I've never heard a K5LLA so fouled that it sounded like an M3. Nice job pan am
2:04 that is a K5HLA
@CSX 7010 yes it is. that is a Hybrid K5HLA
Love the doppler effect.
I hear a *LOT* of K5LLA's here in Sacramento, CA; must be all those UP ES44 and SD70Ace units.
5:00 it sounds kinda like a K5CA without the emergency horn
WAIT YOUR ONTO SOMETHING
What is the difference between the K5LLA and the K5HL? They sound very similar.
Amazing. What camera do you use?
5:17 horn of SOU(K&IT) 72 SW1500
6:26 very ironic
How?
Rails of Alabama 2020 there’s an SD60 with a K5LLA, with two M-2s trailing.
@@dmvspotting lol
Why the hell does a NS GP40 have a cab-mounted LLA??
Good question, they replaced a Nathan P3 that was on it. The clip in this video is from 2015 just shortly after the horn was put on.
Because NS is f***kn COOL, dude! They're the only class 1 that still keeps Leslie RS5TRFs around and even continues to install new ones!
Long Island has passenger diesels that run cab mounted K5LLAs that sound exactly the same
@@CaptainJoey63 Don't they also do LL's and LA's? Also from reasearch I've done, MEC 3400-serise SD40-2's have K5LLR1L's, not k5LLB's

6:32 it's an original sound in sodor diesels woth american horns diesel 10 uses nathan K5LLA
K5LLA is king of the train horns!
RS5T is
MI, OH, and ON Railfan 2103 Oh no no no no no my friend! It most certainly is not!
Can agree with C Mac^
US&CA Railfan 2103 The Leslie RS5T May be the king of train horns due to its history but the Nathan K5LLA was designed to be louder.
Absolutely!

Yeah I am not a big fan of the Newer K5LLA's myself.
Haha, well thanks for watching anyway!
@@CentralPennRailProductions The video was fantastic I just am not a fan of the newer "LLA" series
