Conrail Shared Assets train WPMI-21 prepares to cross the Winchester and Western diamond in Vineland, NJ. Leading the train is a Conrail Quality GP40-2 #4428, now owned by CSXT. WPMI-21 was working in push-pull mode with CSXT GP40-2 #4412 pulling up the hind end of the train.
#4428 still retains its Conrail-era Leslie RS3L horn above the cab.

Now this is how a Leslie is supposed to sound!! Beautiful! Takes me back to just about every train that went through town when I was a kid before the NS takeover
So crisp and beautiful
This horn sounds beautiful, one of the best sounding horns ever.
Yeah definitley
Yep! That did sound good!
The S3L, and later update, RS3L, was once the most common horn used on North American railroads. Since Leslie exited the horn business, they have become a rare treat, rapidly vanishing in a sea of K horns.
The reason that the Nathan AirChime K series has become common place is reliability. The fact that the Leslie horn devision is owned by hornblasters certainly makes railroads want to stay away as well. Leslie RS horns are also terrible with maintenance and lack parts availability. I know you can confirm as you are a machinist for locomotive air horns.
@@sepa2401 sorry, K horns are boring, just like class 1 railroading after all the mergers
@@b2major9th Yeah I agree. I do like the sound of early K5LA horns compared to what we have today. The P series is what I would choose if I ran a railroad. They sound excellent and are very reliable.
@@sepa2401 P horns, though not as loud, can sound very nice. Especially if you lower the pitch of the 3 bell to eliminate the discord (for NC P5 horns, or in the case of OC P horns if you flatten the 3 you create a more mellow A major 6th instead of the strident A major 7 th)
@@b2major9th I agree. I have a New Cast P2A single chime with a damaged foot. It sounds really nice and mellow, probably because it is running single diaphragms. I do wonder how I could get the broken aluminum on the foot repaired though as it was drilled incorrectly by whoever had it last and it doesn't bolt to a P manifold.
That's what a horn should sound like.
Well said, brotha. Well said.
Andrew B. It’s my favorite horn
I love hearing that horn combined with how awesome the locomotive looks and it's 645 engine sound
Those motorists are pretty ignorant to what is going on around them. It scares me to be on the road with people like that. If the flashing lights and a blaring horn are not enough to grab their attention I would hate to be stopped in front of them at a red light. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay higher insurance premiums after their stupidity catches up with them. Great video.
And that's why ive been so hesitent to start driving in the first place
That's the U.S. for us
Brings back old times!
Yea the Louisiana Northwest Railroad's GP15's still have these horns. They are awesome
To each their own. The M5 was one of the Nathan horns I never really got to hear when I use to live by an active railroad, which was primarily GTW (now CN) trackage, though it had the occasional BN (still green at the time), as well as Conrail. Heard plenty of P5s, M3s, and before I moved, the K5LA, however.
awesome sounding Leslie ! great shot! love the industry shots
0:55 check out that S-10!
1:15 I thought the perfect Conrail was going to hit that car! The bell is also a rare RACO bell. Nice horn and video!!!
Gametrain Productions raco bells in SoCal are a dime a dozen!
1:14 This Horn Being Used on Rails Unlimited!
Exactly!
Beautiful
You're absolutely right.I myself live on the other side of the Atlantic and nothing matches these noise bangers. A note to railfans: you can't be alive until you hear the traditional sound of an American diesel train.
Just remember, it's New Jersey, not known for great driving, Connecticut is up there too. Awesome horn, sure wish I hadn't sold mine.
It reminds me a lot of that blue color of Mexico's national railways, good video 👍 greetings from guadalajara jalisco México
AWESOME HORN!
Yea nice catch catching this excursion agin
Very cool to see him wind around that curve and cross the diamond at that speed.
Oh wow, amazing catch there, my friend! Excellent horn and video.
Wow that is a perfect horn
lol the perfect idiot at 1:15. Nice video!
That is one excellent RS3L!
Nothing like the sound of a Leslie RS3L! People are so impatient. Even a single locomotive outweighs the heaviest of passenger vehicles and even semi's by tens of tons! People can't seem to grasp that, because they can't wait even 2 minutes. Remember, look, listen, and live!
Great audio on this. Enjoyed the air horn.
Sweet shot, Mike. Richie laid on the horn for that crossing. Thumbs up and a fav.
I LIKE the horn. Sweet RS3L!
Delicious!
great video love conrail!!!!!!!!
beautiful!
I love how the engineer shakes his head when that car almost got hit.
1:01
Very nice RS3L! You don't hear horns like that these days.
1:14 A rails unlimited horn.
True
1:14 to 1:17
also from trainz sim
That's what my ex conrail rs3l sounds like 👍.
Nice CR action!!!
I just caught this unit a few weeks ago leading a Road train. It still has its sweet Leslie RS3L but is in CSX YN3B 😞
Nice video of The conrail I subscribed 🇺🇸
Who saw car running over tracks when train coming
Seriously!
@@TheJax1284thanks for the support
sounds exactly like V/line's N class. like 100%.
great video that car at 1.15 almost didnt make it very close call
1:14 that's the horn sound effect used in the Minecraft Traincraft mod.
Yes I knew I recognized it from somewhere!
nice video and catch! love that horn! 1:16 idiot and close call
1:17 close call!
@nsrailfann4life91 or in this case a few seconds because the train had two engines and two cars.
1:14 in ro-scale up 6900 has conrail horn
Sweet video! And, what up with another tracks on diamond interchange there?
@southern4501isawesom Exactly. Saving a few minutes at a railroad crossing isn't worth risking your life. I don't see why people don't understand that. In my opinion, it's better to be late to work than not to get there at all.
You can barely see the lower lights on the cantilever. Maybe a bulb change?
That thing still in Conrail paint?
CSXT paint now
DieselElevators CSX now
i found out that this is the S3L, not RS3L. Whoa
TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!
oye buen vídeo y buena toma... pero al ver por los trucos eran de 2 ejes y esas son las GP 38 no? buen vídeo
Some of those cars just dont care that there is a train. What a dingus
I know it’s in CSX paint now, but does it still have that Leslie?
Yield to Conrail and CSX at the end!!!
Were is the bell
Reminds me of they eye of nye nuclear energy video
1:14 Roblox horn
Dang Thats some bad track man
RS3L
Wheres this at
@nsrailfann4life91 when they learn it will be too late they will be a hood ordiment on a train.
We need gates that people can't go around
RAILS UNLIMITED HORN 1:14
Millville Industrial Line
Can't believe those 2 cars... Idiots. Great video
Just think how much money the police would make if 5 or 6 of them would wait at a railroad crossing when they know a train is coming. I would be willing to bet the money made from crossing violations would boost Dunkin' Doughnuts profits!
that's not a Conrail anymore; that's an Excon. it's been patched.
Noah whitehouse Yes but it's in Conrail paint so it technically counts as a Conrail unit.
Sounded like k5LA
in 2017 is it still CRQ?
Tri State Railfan ProductionsTM no
A-Line Productions aww man
Tri State Railfan ProductionsTM The last Conrail locomotive to be repainted was an SD50 that went to Norfolk Southern after the breakup. Closest you'll get now is ES44AC 8098, the Conrail Heritage Unit.
csx needs to replace that old ass crossing
This is not a CSX line, is owned by Conrail shared assets operations.
They lease power from CSX and Norfolk Southern
Hell no keep those there..
1:15
@drewsome89 Not even 5...more like 1
known as a GEEP
If idiots are ignorant towards rr crossings then why not put a megaphone in front of the train horn lol
Roblox horn
omg those stupid cars...
1:14 Roblox horn
