My favorite train horn would be the Raised Letter K5LA, Nathan P5 or the Lesile RS5Ts. All of them sound amazing.

I grew up just a few miles from the CSX Abbeville Subdivision, during the era of CSX forming from Chessie and Seaboard. K5LA's and RS5T's were incredibly common; back then most of them were perfectly tuned and sounded with authority. I could hear an RS5T cutting the crisp night air like nothing else. I have a new cast P5. It was a gift from Jeff Seidel, a former board member.
