GO Transit Cab Car K5LA Horns (Updated) 

This is the sound I grew up with, none of the K5CA trash that GO has now. I am still shocked that there is horn audio of 223 and 224.

219’s gotta be my favorite just that eerie sounding tone gets me every time

5:47 the horn is amazing. It reminds me of an AEM-7 K5LA. So beautiful

3:59 225 horn was good

2:55 best horn I've heard

So many interesting horns. So cool sounding. What a nice mid-winter break I have been having, binge-watching family guy and Godzilla stuff. Also, the one at 3:23 sounds like an opera-singing chicken.

Friend: "What music do you listen?" Me: "Uhhhh, Just some epic Cab Car K5LA's " Friend: "Bruh.."

I literally cannot stop watching this video. I started railfanning just a couple years late to hear and record these beautiful horns for myself. I also wanted to say, if I was running a commuter rail, I would 100% do whatever I can to keep the k5las, even if that means spending more money to equip every goddamn cab car with separate horns, similar to what exo does. But anyway, great video, and may 212, 215 218 221 228 and 238s horns rest in peace

I came back just to hear these horns again, 218,227, 229,235, 236, and 241 really stood out to me

3:16 it’s like a better version of trwx 1006

3:00 I was on 218 yesterday... my lord... it was so goddamn amazing. I love the 2nd window!

A lot of these Horns sound epic!

Hey! I like 208's 2nd clip and also 204, the Graham White, K5LA and crossing all makes it the chill hearing the camera crackle as well!

I love this compilation!!

Awesome. Something to kill my anxiety during the [historic] ice storm.

Another great thing about Tri-Rail Cab Cars is that they have almost no crossings with bells always active, so they work great for my M3 with K5LA videos

Some Of The Best Train Horns I Ever Heard In My Opinion. The GO Transit Cab Car K5LA Horns Sound Amazing!

I am SO GLAD I got to hear my BEST FRIEND with his TRUE K5LA... :D

I want the K5LA Horns back!!!! They were awesome, the K5LA is my favorite type of Train Horn

5:46 awesome horn with a great progression sound of the different bells of the horn activating. Edit* just found out that this is called quilling if I am correct

6:57 (245 needs the horn tuned up)

Music to my ears 😌

Its strange that they all sound different and unique up until 6:24, when they all sound the same

*3:39** to **3:45** was the best moment ever for me... please make sure THAT will be the ONLY clip of 221!!!*

I wish we still had K5LAs...

0:45 That Blast sounds like a K5LLA to Me

210 when it passed sounds cool

My #1 favorite cab car is GO Transit 219 because of it's K5LA.

Somehow 216 and 220 seem like they have K5CAs. (220 second clip) 216's 2nd clip sounds like a K5CA like 220. 221 doesn't like hearing a BLARING REALLY LOUD horn before him! 221 is a chill.

1:34 my favorite one

Awesome!

I think all the older Swanson-K5s were replaced by K5CAS according to a video I saw of #200 leading a train with a K5CA.

My birthday was on the 27th of March Baddy! :D

Makes me wanna tune my k5la

Hey man I'm curious were you found that audio of #215s Doubletag. It may possibly be my favorite UDTC cabcar on GOT. Also do you have video sources of 215 I could watch?

Go transit cab 206 100% tri rail cabcar horn at 1:22 the on after 215 at 2:40 1000000% tri rail and maybe even is now a tri rail cabcar

Where did you find the 2nd clip of 201, and 1st clip of 208?

LOL! 221 I hope is here!

I like trains

Wow my favourite horn was from Cab car 215 . It sounded the most beautiful to me. With all these refurbished classic cab cars, will they all have the same horns or so? I also see they been converted from one front window to two during refurbishment

254s still in service

I don’t have an exact favourite out of all of them but my favourite of the ones with hybrids is 222. 3:45

I find it interesting that some of the older cab cars don’t even have ditch lights

I have a question: What Go Transit Cab Car in this vid sounds the closest to a Tri-Rail Bombardier/UTDC Cab Car

Ranking of each GO Transit cab car from 200 to 257 even though 251 to 257 horns are not in this video since this is only the cab cars that had K5LA horns: 200: Good horn, not the best but still good. 201: Amazing high pitched K5LA imo. 202: Another amazing high pitched K5LA, slightly better than 201. 203: Good horn. 204: Great horn. 205: Very good K5LA. 206: Good K5LA. 207: Unique and nice. 208: Good sounding horn. 209: Good horn. 210: Absolutely amazing! 211: Great sounding K5LA. 212: Absolutely beautiful!

Can you by chance show us what frontrunner Cab car 105’s horn sounds like

The 238 sounds like the old K5LA from the Coaster 2303

Nice

3:45 go 222 sounds like a rs3l

Where did you find the audio for 224? You didn’t mention it in the video on 223 and 224

Love itt

6:24 kinda sounds like a k5ca-ls and k5la mixed together

May I use the horn samples of some of these K5LAs? (202, 212, 219,221,222,and 244 most likely, whichever of these are less distorted/less background noise) I'm trying to make an addon for Garry's Mod that adds these train horns

3:00 and 1:07 both sound kind of like Amtrak k5la horns

We’re 242 through 250 built with different tuned horns? They all sound the same, and different from 200-241

I take back what I said about 2:55 , 4:37 has a awsome k5la

What go transit cab car is good for quilting 219, 221 or 245?

I found another picture about the repainted cab car 214

Second clip 227?

Where did you find the clip of 219 at 3:27?

NSR CLASS CAB 455 HAD THOSE K5LA HORN BUT IN BIRISTH HORN.

7:42 time to go to Florida and new Mexico

Why does 207 sound like CDTX 2116

Huh, neat.

Do you have the original sound sample for Cab Car 200's horn?

2:25 literally scared me

They should have transferred the horns onto the new cabs.

Horn clip of 216 and 220? (First 220)

You know, I think we've exhausted every single GO Transit K5LA clip on RU-vid, I have literally not been able to find anymore besides units we already have an abundance of (229, 232, 236). Although I am planning on purchasing the DVD with the unfouled 200 clip. The only thing I've found is images of unrebuilt 200 and 214. Are there any clips that you've found?

1:06 i actually like 204

Sounds like Tri-Rail

Where did you get 223

What is 206 horn link at 1:21

213s k5la sounds like 8313s k5la 2:07

What’s the music in the background?

I love Go Transit 219 horn 3:21 can you show me clips that you found of the horn along with 221 3:39, 222 3:46 and 216 2:45 please?

Amtrak: where’s my horn

Mine fav is 215

are they decommissioning 251-257?

In my opinion 238 had the best one

221s k5la nice

Imagine if you were GO in 1999, and you had to give away 2 cab cars to TRE, you don’t have to pick 223 and 224. Which would it be and why? For me it would be 206 and 228. They are the most boring units on the entire fleet, they do not have something special that distinguishes them from other cabs beside their numbers. 205 has a low pitched K5LA, 207 has the fouled horn. 227 has a pretty powerful horn and 229 sounds kind of fouled, especially in the 2nd clip.

1:26 Weird Hornshow

219 be like: BLEAHHHHHHHHHH! BLEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 221 and me be like: You good? 219: Noes. 221 and me: CEM is stupid right? Baddy, 215, 221 and me be like: *NODS*

song name? (I'll say thanks this time)

What about the mp40s k5la horns

Do the metrolibk ones

Can you do mbta GP40MCs

You know, there are a bunch of other clips I found that I might put in my own video. The units I found were. 200 201 202 204 208 209 210 212 214 215 216 217 218 221 222 225 226 230 232 234 237 239 241

Cab car 220 👍👍👍

212 is 👌👌👌👌👌👌

Why can't they just add an emergency horn to the k5la?

1:36 my fav 1:43 1:46

4:56

What's the music

Baddy I got an idea. Lets talk abt it on discord.

4:57 1106 and 5:44 1406

233/234?

These are just standard tuned basket case round tag K5LAs (round tags are less preferable than older horns such as square tags, tagless, and big tag horns). The round tags are typically inferior to the horns mentioned above, especially these cabcar horns. Some of these weren’t bad, but not amazing/unique by any means. By the way these weren’t tuned by Swanson in any way and in fact he died before the production of these horns. Not sure why you cherish these horns but you do you I guess…
