Horns?

I just downloaded B737lvr mega horn pack and I'm impressed with the large number of different horns available, but that brings up my question. Is the any kind of comprehensive list of which horns were supplied with which locomotives? It really doesn't have to be a long list, just for which horns go with the locomotives and road names that are available.

Basically it helps to look up what goes on what on youtube. Here's basics.
Pre-2008 GEVOs had K5HLs with 2 piece 1L bells, (what B7 calls K5HLs properly)
Post 2008 GEVOs had K5HLs with 1 Piece 1L bells (what B7 calls K5HLLs improperly).
ACes get K5LLAs
BNSF and UP extensively used K3LAs on most power like SD40-2s, Dash 9s, SD70Ms, SD70MACs, etc.
CSX & NS use K5LAs on most equipment.
Remember, there is always exceptions to the rule though.
