Amtrak M5?

Post by HWAdmin »

"There were 3 F40s with M5R4 horns in the late 90s and early 2000s that I was lucky to experience. An M5 on a class 1 even at this time was nearly unheard of. "

DO: "I know in California around 10 years ago there was a little M horn rage going on. One Coaster unit ended up with an M3 and than an M5, and an Amtrak P32-8BWH got an M5. From what I hear though it was a horn happy engineer who ultimately lost his job for swapping the horns. Nonetheless, I believe Amtrak 522 has an M5 to this day. How any M horns even managed to get onto Amtrak permanently I would imagine is entirely the works of a shop employee with some special horn interests."
