I guess I'm in the minority here. The horn is alright but I do miss that Leslie S2 horn. I grew up watching those cab cars on the former BN line in Chicago before I moved away.
I'm an engineer on the Star and this is actually my personal horn. I'm not sure the 2 is flat as much as the 1 and 5 are sharp. Fun fact, the 5 in particular is a modified NC bell tuned to play the note of an OC 5. Unfortunately it was just a few cents sharp. I think it plays 561hz and a true OC plays 554hz.
Their history starts with CBQ, then they became part of the Metra BN/BNSF fleet, they got sold off and became part of the failed MiTrain in Michigan before being sold to WeGo
@@danieltaylor5807 CBQ would merge into Northern Pacific and Great Northern to form the Burlington Northern. MiTrain seemed to just silently die out. It went through testing and it seemed like it would open and then it just stopped. Equipment was stored for a few years and then quietly sold.
