TRAIN HORNS: K5LLA, K5H & 4 K5LA's

This is an old video. But I have k3la and just ordered the k5lla so excited to hear it in person

I'm absolutely fascinated with this information lately.
Grew up hearing trains all my life, still hear them daily (but especially nightly as the sound seems to carry better at night!)
It's like music.

And as a music lover and a singer, I've always been able to separate the notes on my head, and hear the harmonies in the train horns....

But recently I discovered there were different models of horns, being the reason they all sound a bit different.

And NOW, I realize, not only the horn, but the operator of it/engineer/whomever is making beautiful music coming through my town daily, that person is ALSO responsible for the variations!

This apparently is an art, just like any sort of music.

Oh! And another such video taught me that there are certain patterns for various crossings and locations and what not-- haven't learned those yet-- but coupled with the type of horn, and the person operating it, that's just another component to the music!

I have five year old and two year old grandsons who are absolutely enamored with all things railroad. I hope we can all learn together to appreciate the train 'whistles', and maybe even learn to identify some of them together! 🚂🎶💖

I love the K5LLA, wish I could hear it more often

the blue train horn sounding like is dieing

Awesome K5LLA horn, love the K5LA horn too!

K5LA IS A CAR HORN? REAL

The neighbor is going crazy

My dad work for bnsf and he drove his train to me and monk k5lla train horn

Just blow the damn things. Gosh they sound terrible when feathered… almost to a hilarious extent. Most K horns warble and squeak horribly when quilled. Way better on a solenoid.

When you crack the horn lever trigger it sounds funny

I like how you make the sound weird at first like their broken then you just full on blast it.. 😂

Ah Yes My Favorite Of All Train Horns

if i heard this i woukd never get tired of it

Imagen this in a corolla 😂😂

The K5LA fell. That got me laughing

I love the older wave of K5 LA air horns. The new wave kind of sounds like an ehorn almost like it's supposed to be programmed to sound the same and never change

POV: your wearing airpods while watching this

Parece una banda de jazz ensayando.

I like the k5h but it hurts my ear so bad that it is nice 😅

beautiful sounds

lol for a second i thought he was gonna play mario bros theme song at the end of the amtrak k5la

K5la amtrak,🚅🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

The K5H Sounds like a Hybrid K5LA

Why the fuck is he edging the fuckin horns

First gen K5LAs are magic.

The K5LLA would sound better if the 1L bell was reversed

People hearing the K5H be like: Is that a Acela Express?!

Where did you get these and how much did they cost?

Where do you get these K5LA horns from?

This is a nice

I ha ve siemens charger train horn

I wish I could have K5LA #1

Tbh that looks fun as hell

What the horn sounds like to me:
1: UP Raised letter K5LLA
2: AMTK P42DC K5LA
3: Pacific Surfliner K5LA
4: CN K5H
5: California cab car K5LA
6: AMTK P40DC K5LA

How did you get these. I can’t find them on eBay or anything

That K5H sounded a lot like the hybrid K5LAs on the American Flyer.
