  • Adam Auxier and I had set out for a day of railfanning in Southern Illinois. The day was gloomy and as we proceeded north rain showers changed over to snow flurries . . . this however didn't stop us from catching some pretty neat stuff.
    13:50 - We were expecting to see M335, a NB Canadian National freight train to roll through Odin, Illnois. But we got a surprise and the CSX ran an eastbound train from St. Louis on their seldom used former B&O line.
    CSXT 7541 C40-8
    CSXT 7301 C40-8W
    13:59 - M33571-05 (Memphis, TN - Fond du Lac, WI)
    After running main #1 through Centralia and meeting the southbound Amtrak train 392 this 7,000 foot freight train cruises through Odin at about 30 miles an hour. The Nathan P5 sounds awesome on the 1026!
    IC 1026 SD70
    CN 5501 SD60F
    14:31 - After meeting A43291-05 at Tonti and being held up by the Union Pacific at the Kinmundy Interlocker the engineer gets the train underway again at Kinmundy, Illinois.
    14:40 - Rolling along at 40 MPH we pace the train through Farina, Illinois. A large grain elevator stretches along the tracks through town.
    14:55 - After M33681-04 went onto the Bluford Subdivision at Edgewood Jct. M335 got the signal and proceeded towards Effingham, Illinois.
    15:21 - With the Nathan Airchime P5 blaring IC 1026 rolls through Effingham, Illinois pounding the diamonds with its 7,000 feet of freight.
    15:46 - A very short Union Pacific Pacer Stack train rolls through Effingham on the CSXT's St. Louis Line.

    FUN FACT: The standard cab SD70s Air line to the horn was so long that even when the valve is just closed, pressure remains in the line, blowing the horn, kinda quilling it too until it runs out of air

      Yeah I Always Dream About P5's Too Well Not Only Nathan P5's But Nathan P2's, P3's & P5's Are The Only Horns I Always Dream About😎😎

      You should go to the NPR. That’s the only series horn they have on their SD60Fs.

    Nobody gonna talk about how perfectly timed that horn blast was at 5:54?Right when the nose of that loco popped out from the side of the rail cars. 💯

      @robbiewales3007 9 років тому +1

      MDSerles The new cast Nathan P5's sound awesome indeed. We have a lot of them in Australia. Do they get many freight trains in California and Nevada with nice sounding new cast Nathan P5's?

    • @ApproachAspect
      @ApproachAspect 6 років тому +1

      Never. Only on CDTX cabcar 8306 which has a New Cast P3.

    • @shreddermanp2

    That is the sickest crossing ever. Right on a diamond! You can see the signals in both bdirections. I believe one the bells was a Safetran Hybrid mechanical with the double clanking at the end.

    holy crap. the engineer must love the sound of the horn too. lol

    • @pokeyrailfanning
      @pokeyrailfanning 3 роки тому

      No it’s just a manual lever, it takes a few second to open and close causing it to continue blowing air in the horn until the air is completely closed.

  • @liverwurszt
    @liverwurszt 13 років тому

    @heelblocks I've always wondered that. Almost all IC videos I've seen with horn it's basically one long blast. Thanks for the info!

  • @pacirr

    @heelblocks yeah, that was a good catch; I've actually went under a CSX at Greendale twice in the last few months

  • @pacirr
    @pacirr 13 років тому

    That CSX train at Odin should be either Q265 or Q247, both are stl-louisville auto rack trains. There is a Q204 wb autos, and unless it has changed they are the only regular trains, plus occasional extras.

  • @heelblocks

    @DieselSmoke92 CN 5529 has a solenoid.... almost all of the 1000s have a manual valve.

  • @heelblocks
    @heelblocks  13 років тому

    @gregtrain1 Well it's really the only way to blow the horn on these engines. The P5 lags greatly due to an extremely long airline. A standard long-long-short-long is literally impossible.

  • @santoro2020
    @santoro2020 11 років тому

    So SD70's have extremely long airlines? So that's why they have "never-ending horns" as my friends and I call them...

    • @Silentroller93

      A p5 has more of a squeak when it sounds that's probably an 80's k5la

    • @dtiman

      Sean Lynn no way that's a K5, its a P5 for certain.
