- What happens when a coworker knows you love trains, and his dad is selling an RS3L? You end up setting foot into the hobby of horn collecting! Here is my first horn, an ex-Santa Fe RS3L! I ran this horn on about 23 gallons of air at 140PSI with half inch air lines. She sure sounds great, and it was mighty fun waking up Joshua Tree with the voice of the Santa Fe. I'm not sure what type of loco this horn came off of, but I have found traces of silver paint on it, so my best guesses would be that it came off of either a warbonnet Dash-8 of some sort, an early Dash-9, or maybe one of the Super Fleet FP45s (How cool would that be!). Being an RS horn, that means it would have been made after 1979. My guess is that it was made in the mid to late 1990s. However, if anybody can give me a better idea as to when this horn was made, feel free to let me know. Enjoy the voice of the ATSF! A sound that was once so common here in the southwest. Please rate and comment, Thanx! :-)

When I was growing up, I had a neighbor who worked at the San Bernardino shops, and he took a horn off of a U33C for me. I have it installed in my Kenworth now.
Wow, how did I miss this?! That thing sounds great!
Thanks, Mike! Yeah, I was thrilled to get ahold of this horn. I agree, sounds pretty good for having been mounted under an RV for many years!
The sound of the Santa Fe. I grew up on the El Paso sub...you even put some cord flare into it, like the local engineers in GP-3(0,5,8-2,9-2)'s back in the day 😅
3:38 # Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits!!!
Thank you for your support of the train horns and saying no to the quiet zones!
Oh! That echo is incredible!!!! WOW!
Indeed it is! It's always a blast to sound off these chimes ( pun intended ). Thanks for coming out to visit the desert! Hope to see you again soon.
You are like a little kid in a toy store. That sounded fantastic love it...put it on your car.
Yeah I am, LOL! I'd love to put it and my giant air supply on my car, if I could figure out how too. Haha! I will say though, it is possible, and other people have done it.
Just be scared that you might shatter a window
That is awesome
I must agree with you on that. 😉
Sounds like one of the Warbonnet RS3L’s
God what a lovely chord. Great find btw!
Thank you very much. I totally agree!
this was the sound of a generation. i miss how trains used to sound like this. most noteably the transfer train scenes in downtown areas used to sound like this till recently.
3:25 they used the sound from this part of the video in a roblox game called Metra Racetrack
That sounds awesome Trav! Nice find. Blasting the horn towards the rocks really echoes... Very Cool.
Thanks Ron! I got a good deal on the horn so I jumped on it. I never impulse-buy anything, but the price for this and a lot of the hardware for it was just to good to pass up.
How'd I miss this a year ago? Even Nor chimed in (pun intended).
thats great.. thanks
sweet horn show my dude
Nice sounding horn and good balance between the bells. Is the 44 bell squealing intermittently?
2:59
nice!
That made me angry seeing the way it was cut who could ever destroy a horn like that.
On the manifold look at the base of it, usually it'll have the last 2 numbers of a year to give you an idea of its age. As long as it isn't a parts horn.
Nice!
Ok I swear I see I on every video
555 warbonnet Santa Fe
Do you happen to still have this horn?
Yes I do.
@@TrainTrackTrav would you be willing to sell?
@@dcs-crewrailfan1636 I'm afraid not. The RS3L is a personal favorite of mine, and will be holding onto her for the time being.
@@TrainTrackTrav I get it- thanks for the replay nice tooter you have there
I love this horn! Also quick question: Why is "John 3:16" always in your descriptions?
That the start of the horn easy to get to then going through the hole video
You’d know if you were religious.
Yeah I searched it up and found out. Also I am not Christian so I don't know it's bible.
It’s fine if you don’t but 3:16 was the start of the horn
It could be a mistake on typing
there are lady train horn collectors?
Of course there are…
