It's unfortunate railroads are too cheap to invest in a high flow regulator. Regulating the horn from 140psi down to 90psi would do wonders. It would sound much softer, but you'd still hear all five bells properly. Choking the horn off like this one is a waste of a 5 chime.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the second one is #8055. It's insane how loud its horn is. Also the engineer in the first clip was clearly just quilling. At full blast most if not all of these new cabcars could wake up the dead.
@@NickTheRailfan pretty much all of NJT's rolling stock such as the GP40PH-2Bs/2As/2s, PL42ACs ALP45DPs, and ALP46s/As use Graham White levers for their horns, and the Multi-levels, Comet V's and Comet IVs use black console mounted levers. The only motive power that didn't use levers were the ALP-44's which used pull-chords, and the Arrow series EMU's which used a metal push tab that could be operated by thumb. The GP40FH's and F40PH-2CATs also had the graham white levers. The only rolling stock NJT used that had push buttons were the P40BH's
Agreed whats a horn that can only be heard for a 100ft besides amtrak gets new horns and doesn't take care of them and railroads that do just muffle or choke them its ridiculous
Well yeah restricting the horns does end the joy but I think that the sound would not cause any problems inside the cab or for riders. if all needs just quill it
