That full Dome car reminds me of the Southern Pacific's specially built 3/4 Dome cars which were used on the coast daylight they were slightly lower than a regular full Dome car due to low tunnel clearances
I could tell it’s a Nathan Airchime M3H. When these locomotives served on the CN & CP railways (before being used for VIA Rail transit) they were equipped with this horn.

Fun fact. 6793 Used to be in West Virginia serving the Potomac Eagle.
That BNSF intermodal train had an awesome horn sound.
Nice it still has an M 3 H horn, albeit only two notes.
Grand Canyon number 29 is a product of ALCo
And it still runs
Kinda reminds me of the Napa Valley Railroad’s ALCO FPA-4s
Those old ALCOs were strong! Kind of nasty sounding, too...
They actually sound very healthy. They're 4 cycle diesels
JungleYT They’re actually not ALCOs, they’re MLWs, which is not the same thing since the FPA-4 was a Canadian-only model, and MLW outlived ALCO.
WHY did the train back out??? Is the station on a "Y" or something?
There is a wye about half a mile from the station that they turn on at the end of each day.
What kind of horn was that
Some kind of 3 chime
Nathan Airchime M3H
