Best Amtrak Train Horns
The Nathan K5LA is one of my favorite types of train horns. It was designed in cooperation with Amtrak in the mid 1970s to give their locomotive a more cheerful sound as passed on by. The horn plays a B major 6th chord with notes D sharp, F sharp, G sharp, B, and another D sharp one octave higher. Amtrak was one of the first railroads to use the K5LA and ever since 1976, it has been the air horn of choice for all Amtrak equipment. Let’s go through and listen to some of my favorite clips of Amtrak horns that I have recorded in recent years.
