I’ve never gotten to hear a Leslie before. Sadly I’m in MN where there isn’t spots where you can sit there all day and watch the trains a lot only have 1 train a day. And a lot of quiet zones so you barely get any horn action here in MN

If your ambitious enough as you get older, you'll find a lot of fans drive around seeking out horns.

Interesting that your thumbnail photo is actually a Prime 920, which is a copy of the Leslie S3L that has been retrofitted with Leslie RS back caps and diaphragms. It was quite common to do this as the original Prime parts wore out, retrofitting the horns with the RS parts gave them extra life. I have a former BN PM990 (the Prime equivalent of the Leslie S3K) similarly modified by the railroad and is an excellent sounding horn. I believe that such retrofits were just slightly more mellow than the original Leslie RS horns because of subtle differences in internal bell casting shape and how heavy the Prime castings are compared to the Leslie castings.

I got a chance to here 649’s RS3L last summer. It was sounding a bit raspy but yet it was still it’s one of the most soulful sounding horns I’ve ever heard and it was hauntingly nostalgic (especially at 4:30 AM).

Ok, 1st, this is an Awesome video, and the RS3L's on Warbonnets are the best, 2nd I love the classic EMD sound, 3rd, Why are all BNSF GP's always leading really short trains?
@NorthlandTrains6 жыл бұрын
Thanks. The Geeps are (mostly) leading local freights that travel at best 50-80 miles and do switching in industries and yards. They sometimes lead longer distance trains too if BNSF is short on power.
