I've always had a great fondness for those Holden Double Tag K5s. Particularly because they're the original horns that are associated with the Bombardier Bi-Level Cab Cars. Although the one here doesn't seem to have that sort of magic to it.
Apparently, those ones I'm thinking of used a special tuning done by none other than the Horn Lord himself, Robert Swanson. Either that, or it's the simple fact that BBL Cabs are actual -magic trains-, and absolutely anything you mount on them will sound far better than usual. I think it's a combination of both.

This train horn is old but still useful and durable. I am amazed that the ideas of intelligent Americans building railroads hundreds of thousands of km since the 1876 industrial revolution until now are extraordinary, amazing and the train has become a new civilization until now the most modern in Us. Bravo, Americans are indeed smart, dynamic, compact forward, and have proven to be leaders in creating all industries in the world until now. Thank you to the Americans - warm greetings from Indonesia--

Man oh man, I need to get to the next Simpson Horn Honk!
Couple weeks ago, I was working a northbound grain load out of Vancouver, up to delivery at the EGT elevator in Longview. Just after going by Interstate South, my engineer asked me if I blew the horn. -No, but I heard it too. - We both look out our window and see a local driving down the highway, honking at us with a nice horn setup mounted to his truck. The joys of being both a railroader and a railfan!

Very cool video, Mike. Love the horns, tons of great chords to listen to. I'd love to hear my ex-Santa Fe RS3L on a locomotive some day. That air whistle at the end though was pretty darn cool. I might need to look on EBay for a couple of trombone whistles!

Oh yeah about the air whistles, they are also used for of course Metrolink and the dart light rail, but not the Westinghouse whistles, something else that sounds like different K3LA horns. I always love train horns! WHOO! :D

The higher pitched horns hurt my ears. My husband and I like the lower pitched ones. However we really like the sound of the steam engines the best. Thanks for sharing this with us, there is so much to learn about trains.

I can-t wait to get a shot at tuning a M horn. So I can practice before I repair WSOR 101-s M3. I seriously wish Micro Precision would take note of the construction of these older horns.

Yooo, my niece went to this railroad just last Christmas!
Brought me back a wooden coin with a diesel shunter on one side, and -Simpson Railroad- on the other
