Go transit gave some of their cabs and coaches to tri-rail and some of the bombardiers cabs on tri rail have the original horns that came in stock with the bombardiers when delivered to GO transit
Tri-Rail's first batch of cars is not from GOT, but was originally built for someone using the GOT Livery. You can tell as all of GO’s use 575 Volts for HEP, while Tri-Rails have always used 480V HEP.
Tri-Rail simply converted them to their own HEP Frequency. Remember that three of them actually indeed are GO Coaches, but they run with Tri-Rail on their Voltage.
Awesome horns indeed are these 1980's bigtag K5LAs or another type? BTW what's the difference between the Big tag or big bore K5 vs the IEC- Holden double tag.
Great video on the K5LAs. Also, remember when you told me to get Krysztoff next? Well, finally after weeks of waiting for my parents to stop putting it off, they finally decided to help me order him. But I got Sudeep about 6 or more weeks ago, and we ordered him two extra weeks before that. But the sale doesn't have Krysztoff anymore. Dang it!!! waited all this time for nothing. Tom W. is still available but then I saw that the $12 sale for Rev stil exists, but we're having trouble ordering him. Why does online shopping have to be so flipping hard? We tried calling eBay for help and we can't even get any person on the line... And yet some people still say online shopping is the future.
Oddly enough, 219, 221, 222 did not have true K5LA's. The rarely produced 3L bell is in place of the 3A. The 3L is now known as the 3B and is standard on K5CA-LS horns. I don't believe the horns on 219, 221, 222 had official designations, so otherwise they could just be called hybrid K5LA's. You can tell these don't have 3A's because the note is about a full step too sharp, and otherwise is playing a Dominant 7th chord. The 2 bells on 201 and 218 (first clip) are playing about 70 cents sharp, and are basically playing a combined Minor 7th/Major 7th chord, or discord if you will, since G and G# are clashing notes. Strange, but older 2 bells have been known to sometimes play up to a full step sharp.
Thanks for your input. I was wondering what set those horns apart from the others. Also, if I make a second part to this, would you be ok if I used your audio of 214 you filmed at St. Catherines back in 2010? (You will obviously be credited in the description)
@@superbaddy4 Go right ahead. I also have a recording of 246 from my July 2009 Niagara Falls trip. I should mention that 200-214 had K5LA's with big bore 5 bells. These 5 bells with larger throats were often the loudest bell on the horn. You can hear 214's 5 bell dominating in my recording. LocalRailfan's video of him blasting a GO cabcar K5LA features the same thing. The recording you included of 210 also has it.
Shame it's really hard to find audio of the Hawker Cab Cars' K5LAs, since they all got replaced with K5CA-LSs so much earlier than the others. Besides the ones already here, the only other ones I could find were 207 and 208. There's also another one I can't use since I can't figure out whether it's 205 or 206.
I gave your audio of 246 a good listen, and I'll definitely say it's better than the mere 2 second clip I had of it before. And overall, I'll definitely say it is one of the better GO K5LAs, as most of the 2006-built Cabs (246 to 250) are. Do you regret having not filmed any more GO K5LAs besides just 214 and 246 while you still could? I didn't exactly find LocalRailfan's audio of the GO Big Bore. Is it the one that isn't specified if it's GO or not? I did find he filmed a good sample of 227, though.
I actually found a completely different video which also had longer and better samples of 216's horn. Now I'm looking for a sample of 217's horn, then I'll have samples of all the 1987 UTDC Cabs.
@Superbaddy4 My design is to just put the CEM where the Railfan seat and row behind the cab is. The only noticeable differences would be a single front window and lack of windows behind the cab. The design was based off the CEM coaches, which are fine. The cab would be at the mid-level
I edited a photo to show what the CEM Bi-Levels with the old cab design would look like. It's a big improvement, even if it's on a Gen 1 cab. Link: th-cam.com/video/L43Sg8_Fe18/w-d-xo.html
I've now made a newer, updated version of this video, with even more horns. Make sure to check out that one.
th-cam.com/video/4sn4911AkYM/w-d-xo.html
sounds like tri-rail
Fun fact, not only were these tuned 30 cents sharp, they were specially tuned by Bob Swanson (creator of the Airchime horn)
do you know which note in specific is tuned sharp? in the video they said the second note, but that could mean on a paino or the bells themselves.
3:15 sounds a tiny bit like a bnsf k5hl
You should listen to the later horn of Coaster 2306. You'd actually think that really was a K5HL.
@@superbaddy4 omg you are right! That is literally a k5hl!
1:39 to 1:45 HONK by 221. #BRINGBOMBSBACK!
Such a nice video for the awesome GO Transit K5LAs!
Go transit gave some of their cabs and coaches to tri-rail and some of the bombardiers cabs on tri rail have the original horns that came in stock with the bombardiers when delivered to GO transit
As you can see at the end of the video, I'm completely aware.
1:46 Sounds like a Narrow Font K5HLB from the BNSF 7607
What's the song name?

At 1:30 that sounded like a dying rooster
@VENKAT POGAKU LOL
219 and 221 had the most interesting ones
My fav is 214
If only the CEMs had K5LAs, I wonder, they should redesign them to original look.

3:15-I hear that Railroad Crossing in my neighborhood.
My favorite is 212 and 251/253
You went to Toronto Canada to see GO Transit?
No. I've just known about them.
Wow, GO didn't have ditch lights back then did they? The cabs look weird without ditch lights.
They weren't mandatory yet when the original Hawker Siddeley Cabs were built in 1983, but they all had them installed by 1986.
@@superbaddy4 ok thx friend.
I like 202 horn
215 had the best one
Cool the new cab cars need to be scrapped and replaced by the old ones
1:18 Get some medicine for 218! 1:24 Alright thats better.
some sound the the san Diego coaster
212 is my favorite.

Do you have the full clip of 235 that comes on around 2:15?
Look up "GO Trains Galore" by HunterBHolmes. You'll find both 235 and 249.
Hey the captions says the horns are music and applause
That's Captions for you.
Yes
3:06 why does it sound like a steam whistle
1:46 number 1!
I agree. 222’s is my second favorite.
@@JayDee185 and @Michael's Fantastic Cars! 221 is the best along with 223, 228 and 238. Not 222.
Is 223's horn the same as 1000?
They're the same unit, so yes.

The only UTDC that ever had a K5CA-LS (at least as far as I know) was 222.
None of 242 through 250 ever had K5CAs.

@@superbaddy4 can you send the link to that video?
It was uploaded by a user named Railfan Amber.
Are these all the K5LA samples from GOT Bombardier Cab Cars?
Yes. Exact samples.
Not as good as the first batch for Amtraks F40s, but still good. Also, did you like my new bi-level design.
I guess that design would be fine, but it would just be missing the iconic "wedge" in the body shape of the old cars.
@Superbaddy4 My design is to just put the CEM where the Railfan seat and row behind the cab is. The only noticeable differences would be a single front window and lack of windows behind the cab. The design was based off the CEM coaches, which are fine. The cab would be at the mid-level
That would be excellent, actually. It would bring the classic half-width cab back after all these years.
I found a video with a couple of old go cab car k5las, this isnt an ad its just one of the original videos th-cam.com/video/WlDExtziqVA/w-d-xo.html

Look up "GO Train Crossing Signals".
The last horn I the best can you make videos of the caltrain cab car
Nah. I'm not really a fan of Caltrain's P2s. Only 119 and 120 really matter to me. I would do Tri-Rail, ACE, or Coaster next.

A video by JayJr2007. Try looking up GO MP40 609, and you should find the clip.
