In this video series, we'll listen to different types of air horns used on North American locomotives at railroad crossings. • Part 2 features the Nathan Airchime P5. A couple of older cast P5's are featured in this video—these are non-existent on Class I railroads but can be found on many short line and tourist railroads. The P5A, which uses a shorter 4A bell, makes an appearance as well. • If you like train horns, please check out my playlist here: • • Awesome Train Horns • More information about the Nathan P5 can be found below the video timeline: • 0:00 - ESPN 7874 P5 - 3/23/15 (older casting) • 0:55 - NS 9459 P5 - 5/20/15 • 1:30 - NS 2530 P5 - 8/11/15 • 2:05 - NS 7150 P5 - 9/18/15 • 2:50 - ESPN 1802 P5 - 10/22/15 (older casting) • 3:25 - NS 8736 P5 - 11/12/15 • 4:05 - NS 9248 P5 - 4/20/16 • 4:45 - NS 7263 P5 - 4/20/16 • 5:15 - NS 6987 P5 - 6/15/16 • 5:50 - NS 5070 P5 - 6/21/16 • 6:25 - CN 2664 P5 - 8/10/16 • 7:20 - NS 6332 P5 - 1/01/18 • 8:20 - NS 4009 P5 - 1/26/18 • 8:45 - NS 9305 P5 - 3/18/18 • 9:20 - NS 6635 P5 - 5/21/18 • 9:55 - NS 7286 P5A - 6/26/18 • 10:40 - NS 6714 P5 - 6/27/18 • 11:15 - NS 6677 P5 - 10/07/18 • 11:45 - GECX 7544 - 11/06/18 - Edit: This is a newcast P3 • The P-series was developed as a low-maintenance alternative to the M5, allowing bells to be arranged anyway on the manifold. The P5 was on the market in the mid-1950's, with the K-series being developed a short time later as a better-sounding replacement or alternative to the P-series; however, the horn was widely adopted by the Illinois Central, Rock Island, and Southern Railway. New castings introduced in the mid-1970's are responsible for the less harmonious P5's heard today. • Today, P5's are still commonly heard on Norfolk Southern due to predecessor Southern Railway having an abundance of these horns. Likewise, they are found on Canadian National, especially former Illinois Central locomotives which are known among railfans to have the best newcast P5's. The horn is much less common on other Class I railroads. P5A's were common on Amtrak in the 1980's but have mostly disappeared except for Metra. Some P5A's are sprinkled around the country, mostly heard on NS. • Thanks for watching! • Central Penn Rail Productions 2019
