I didn't grow up with Conrail, but the S3L/RS3L was the standard horn on my hometown railroads the B&O and C&O long before the Chessie-era K5LA, so that along with the many ex-Conrail locos I've seen on the NS gives me a slight connection with them.

Central Penn Rail Productions I mainly go out for CSX trains. Sometimes I hear horns I will probably never hear again. That’s why I stay ready in case something I can only see once will come. Me and a friend were out one night and didn’t expect it until my dad alerted me and told me a train with BNSF was coming. It had not only 1 BNSF locomotive, it had UP, and CP. I might not see that type of lash up in a long time or ever again.

Leslie RS3Ls have a special place in my heart. Because they remind me of the Warbonnets. When I hear a Warbonnet RS3L, it’s just haunting. There’s something about them that gives locomotives a soul like no other horn does today. Leslies today haven’t lost a single ounce of charm unlike Nathan which was ruined in 2007 when they were bought by Micro Precision. That’s what Nathan needs to do today: make horns that when they blow make you go “WWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!”

There is a Nathan K3 horn out there that sounds like an RS3L, although not many exist on locomotives. The K3LB which uses the 1L, 1 and 3B bell, which play very similar notes. I did manage to catch one recently and I am working on a K3 video now that will probably be up next month sometime. Thanks for watching, ATSF did have a lot of RS3L's, sadly it's rare to see those locomotives leading out here.

My like of the Leslie's is hearkening back to the pre-merger era railroading. Plus they sound they scarier than the Nathan's. Don't know if that makes a difference to motorists and pedestrians, but it's a plus. There was a certain configuration of Nathan K5 that was heard on all CSX Dash-8s and wide cabs of the 90s. Those were screamers, but certainly not throaty like a Leslie.

Another sad thing is that modern locomotives usually just use an ON/OFF momentary button for the horn, so you can't "feather" it.

Former Conrail territory helps explain the ubiquity of the Leslie's. I never heard them down South. They were popular on L&N Alcos, but after they were retired, it was all Nathan's. No complaining, I like the Nathan harmonies, but where I'm from, Leslie's are exotic. Again, thanks for sharing this.

I know for a fact that the 1703 had it's original EL S3L until summer of 2018. If you look at pictures of 1701, you can see the spiked back-caps, it would appear the RS3L was placed on CR 6655 as far back as 1978 according to pictures. The bell arrangement was visibly different then than the original SU3L on EL 3670.

Great video of these amazing RS3L's! I have a few questions, per your discretion. As a consumer coming from the Canon G21 1080p60 camcorder, any step up would be a good one. Considering the Sony AX700 is on the market at the moment as a new 4k HDR camcorder, but noting that it has a very steep price point, is the AX100, in your opinion, a good camcorder regarding noise, focus, shutter lag, & image quality, despite being almost 4 years old? I would only be filming in 1080p60 due to fluidity. And also, what tripod do you use in these newer videos? Many thanks!
