AWARDS FOR BEST HORN:
1ST PLACE (GOLD MEDAL): Train #6019 with BOTH DM30AC 513 and then DM30AC 519 the following night. Sounded like the same engineer. Amazing sequences. Long, loud highs and occasional captivating low-highs.
2ND PLACE (SILVER MEDAL): DM30AC 509 on Train #6014. Surprised how good the K5LLA sounded on DM30AC 509, and the engineer belted out some nice low highs.
3RD PLACE (BRONZE MEDAL): DM30AC 516 on Train #26. I love DM30AC 516 as it has a very unique sound to it and the engineer blew nice low highs.
That’s it! Happy Holidays, Everyone!!
