Trains + Sirens.

More for the railfans here:
Ever find a photo of a train with a siren in it? Here's one:



I found one in a book. It has a CSX yard photo with an STH-10 in it, I'll see if I can find it online.

Cheers,

There's a bunch of SD-10s in the Thorton Railyard in Surrey, BC

^ That 2001 is next to the Canadian National Branchline in Hersher, IL.

I have some others to post soon!

Cool, nice SD-10.

Yep! In the Norfolk Southern Moraine Yard in Moraine, Ohio (just outside of Dayton), there's an old Thunderbolt 1000T at a fire station and a T-128 at the County Waste Dump.

Also here's an ATI next to a track in Pickering Ontario.

How about a train with a siren on it...

A Union Pacific EMD DDA40X with a MODIFIED Thunderbolt 1003 horn?! WOW!

Wonder why they put 1003s on the trains

Not 1003s... ugh, Union Pacific was experimenting with electronic horns to warn trespassers to move over. The concept, though far-fetched, was also found on the Milwakuee Road. Also, it found home on the work trains. Whenever rail grinders are coming through, they sound a mechanical siren close to that of a Federal Q siren. They have good reason, those sparks are a-flying with fury.

Here are some pictures of the Milwakuee Road version:



Look next to the airhorn:








As I found out, the Milwaukee Road units actually had those as electronic bells. Perhaps the first of their kind? Look like siren horns though, haha.

Electronic bells are everywhere now, and I must admit, they sound better than real bells!
