syncplay ::: Favorites Why does that locomotive sound like it's in run-8 the whole time, even when it's stopping? 07-09-20 23:09:36 __________________________________________________
GP30RDMT ::: Favorites I would say it's because the HEP motor powering the HVAC to the cars is always running. It's powered by the engine in the locomotive, so it's always cranked up because of the need for high RPM. That's why F40s were nicknamed "Screaming Thunderboxes" -Jeffrey 07-09-24 17:15:40 __________________________________________________
BoxcarFrank ::: Favorites Also why the crews always complain about the noise and wear earplugs! 07-10-06 00:14:55 __________________________________________________
metraRI ::: Favorites BNSF is the reason the horn sounds so bad. Back when HC sets were serviced at 14th Street, BNSF removed two chimes to the old K5's. So all 8400's on BNSF/SWS/HC sound this way, the only exception are on the cab cars which have received new horns. 8477 and 8473 on SWS are two of those. 07-09-01 14:56:52 __________________________________________________

trainsmaniac2009 ::: Favorites That horn does sound awkward. I like the idea that you got the shot of the other Metra train leaving for the city also when the one you shot was leaving. Nice video! 07-08-31 21:59:04 __________________________________________________
