Vintage RS-3 Diesel on the Nevada Northern, June 2011

Love that RS-3 but that horn makes it sound about as ambitious as I am in the morning.

One of the things I can't stand about heritage railroads is they always set the bell too fast. I don't know why they do this, it's annoying as shit. Seriously. Watch any video of any diesel on any heritage road, and you'll hear "dingdingdingdingdingdingding".

That sounds like a very tired air horn

Almost the same as our Vintage Alco 40 class , My sentimental Favorite !

What air horn is that?

There was no shortage of Alco Motive Power on the New Haven and the RS-3 is my favorite. Add a black (Hunter Green) cab and she'd look just like one!

Love that horn...even if it does sound like a tired cow in the beginning.

The long-gone Erie Lackawanna had a hord of those old RS-3's w/those sad air horns! Watching this brought those great days back! Thanks!!

The MpPac locos had that flat horn when I was a kid. I haven't herd that sound in a long time.

Love the look of this a lot. Thanks for sharing

The RS-3, a thing of nostalgia beauty

Northern end of the Middle of Nowhere.

One of my favorite locos of all time

The RS 1's, 2's, and 3's are my favorites!, good old childhood memories!.

Great job. 👍👍. I had several relatives that worked for UP. My dad's uncle spent 50 plus years as a master machinist. Worked on all their engines. Steam, Electric, and Diesel. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

Is this RS-3 still operating??
Sounds great less the bell.

That horn sounds like it might attract moose if blown in a suitable area…

I actually like the locomotive but I'm not a fan of the horn

Wonderfull, enjoy my soul.

nobody lives there

Thank you for the video It s the first time I have watched this I am a rail fan
