Conrail Horns

[SMMDigital]

Google isn't helping much in this case. Can anyone tell my what types of horns Conrail used on their locomotives, pre-merger?

Depends what loco you're talking about Jerry, some C39's had a P5, Geeps had anything from a K5L, an M5, P3, Leslie RS-5T, according to the internet. You Toob is a good place to listen to them and this place.

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

Most EMDs had RS3Ls except the SD60M's which had S3L's. Most GEs had RS5Ts but like ex-railwayman said some had different horns as well.

That's a bit backwards. ^ SD60s had RS3Ls, S3Ls ceased being produced in the early 1960s.

Thanks for the correction, I knew something didnt sound right but I couldnt put my finger on it, also didnt some of the SD70MAC's have K5LAR24s? Or some kind of K5?

[BNSFdude]

Indeed they did!

Their ALCo locomotives had S3L's on them, coming from when they were PRR units, then to PC and then Conrail.
