This video is several weeks old to the upload date, so I have since forgotten the train number. I want to say 288 was the number.
NS SD60E number 6920 sports a special paint scheme "Honoring Our Veterans" leads an auto rack train with NS ES44AC number 8099 "Southern Railway" heritage unit helping out in trailing position. This was the first time I seen two of the specially painted NS units on same train. 6920 sports a Leslie RS-5TRF horn in need of some attention. The 37 bell is squealing harmonically which decimates the chord of the horn. The debris bonnets on these horns can cause that harmonic squeal. Having worked on a few with and without the debris bonnets, the difference is night day almost.
Anyways, here were are at Andy Cooper Road and Sunbright, Tennessee to catch the train.
Enjoy!

Great video! just a side note though...the RS5T on 6920 has sounded like that since day one. I personally like it because it's unique and really kinda unlike any other 5T..gives the unit some nice charm in addition to the awesome paint job. Maybe it was somehow tuned that way intentionally? Who knows

Those debris bonnets they put on those horns affect it acoustically. I had a friend of my who has one with bonnets on it and the difference is day and night with them on and off. Those debris bonnets don't even work. They affect about every horn adversely. It's the way the sound waves propagate down the throat of the bell and having something like that in front of the bell messes with the propagation. Now if you look up a video like "6920 Chase" you can hear actually how it sounds without the bonnets.
