    Fantastic video. I had fun watching this pair make 5 or 6 passes at Walbridge until about 9:30pm tonight. I heard the K5H twice from home and raced over to hear it in person. It's surprising that 7422 ended up with CSX 126's K5H horn. CSX 126 (also in for rebuilding) originally had this K5H with the same very rare backwards mounting with the 1, 3, and 5 bells reversed instead of the traditional 2 and 4 bells reversed. At 4:48 you can see the 2 and 4 bells facing forward. This gives the K5H a noticeably lower tone as it approaches since the 2 bell is dominant. If you look up other videos of CSX 126 you will see that the sound is a match. It makes me wonder if they used the entire hood section from 126 on the 7422 rebuild even though the core was from CSX 549. I have been waiting to see which rebuild this K5H ended up on and it's great that it lives on.

    0:34 I feel like that it sounds like a K5H type of horn, cuz like I was expecting it to sound like a K5LA

    Looks to be GE's radial truck design in fresh paint. Those been around for years. They ride better around curves in the rail.

    Tell me, how much time does it take on average to rebuild one locomotive?

    • @stephankoenig5481
      @stephankoenig5481  5 дней назад +1

      Could be as little as a month or as long as 6 months depending on the work. Some units needed less work some needed extensive work.
