awesome, I tried to catch em last season but always missed em! do you remember what they called it on the radio if you were listening in? and hello from Rod Serling's hometown!
I would assume they are called by the train number that's pushing the plow car since it doesn't operate under its own power. I could be wrong though. I don't work on the RR.
It's a single trumpet "fog horn". They were very common in the old days. If you look at photos of the Southern Pacific, they were applied on the later model "cab forward" locomotives and GS-series locomotives. They were also used on various railroad's gasoline-electric "doodlebugs"; they were standard on the PRR's electric "motors". They were also original equipment on first generation diesel locomotives produced by EMD and AlCO. (The chime horns applied to preserved units at many historic and museum railroads are not historically correct.) They don't sound as nice, but they get the job done - and may actually be less annoying to the neighbors. In the case of snow fighting equipment which is only rarely used, most railroads don't see the need to replace them with multi-trumpet horns. Great video!
Awesome shots, love the crossing ! 👍

This is the New York, Susquehanna and Western railway. It runs over NS owned rails, but is not an NS train.
