Seaboard Coast Line SD45 - Service in 2016 

Actually an S-5TRRO. I have actually had to do some work on it for the 55 bell not working.

The frames and car bodies were built well enough to be used in rebuild programs which is why so many of them still exist as SD40-2's. I could only imagine what those N&W units sounded like in threes with that big Leslie 5 chime on top screaming in notch eight.

@@NSAaron the N&W horns had a different sound to them,but it was awesome to see and hear one coming at doing 60 per running long hood forward!

The museums still exists as an organization and its equipment is safe. The excursion train equipment is currently at Tell City, IN. being leased by the Scenic Lincoln Way excursions. As for the excursion train in Oak Ridge, that is no more and the owners of the railroad made that supremely clear. 2024 will remain in service in Oak Ridge as a freight engine and will occasionally come out for some heavy tonnage movements, which is more often than one might think on a little 7-1/2 mile railroad. That goes for the rest of the operable fleet of locomotives. I have spent some time being more mechanically involved on the motive power, particularly 2024. As for SARM in location and operation, looking to future and moving forward is the direction of travel. Opportunities will present themselves and without doubt SARM will take them.

It's an RS5T, much more appropriate for the era, I'm not much of a southerneastern rail fan, but I'm pretty sure SCL used RS5Ts. A K5L is much lower pitch with a duller sound, while the RS5T has that trumpet sound of classic 60s horns.
