Nathan/Airchime K5LA Horn Compilation (100+ Trains!)

Footage I've captured over the years featuring all Nathan Airchime K5LA train horns. I tried to pick out the most decent and unique horns I've heard so as to not make it too boring lol. Majority of the horns in this video are from NS, Amtrak, and CSX.
Favorite Norfolk Southern K5LA: @18:20
Favorite Amtrak K5LA: @7:54

An amazing combo: loud mechanical bells and the echo of a first gen K5LA

[@brodybombardir915]

I gotta love norfolk southern 9707's K5LA, it sounds awesome 👌

[@willsarms3]

1:22 Is awesome

[@icefoxx1523]

*Majority of them are fouled now there's rarely any that have a mint condition k5la that actually sounds good*

[@hakeemsd70m]

Excellence compilation of my all-time favorite train horn, the Airchime K5LA. None can beat the melodious, sweet nostalgic music of a narrow font or early raised letter (2003-07) K5LA, in my humble opinion. Thumbs up.

[@kendalmyers9445]

The csx’s with the air chime are my favorite

[@jamtuazon5216]

Minor nitpick at 8:43 that horn is a narrow font K5HL but the 1L bell is fouled/dead which does give it a false impression of a hybrid K5LA

[@gokuthatmadethebeat]

it sounds nice

[@Ethan27182]

1:24 love the p42 k5la right there

[@viktorgaragedoors331]

Love those 3rd gen K5LAs and the loudness level of these horns were measured at around 110 to 128 decibels at 25 to 100ft blow your horns of course
