The Leslie 5-chimes, when in good working order, sound great. Date: 03/27/17 13:16 Re: UP 6936 Centennial 4/18/1995 Eastbound, Lava Hot Springs,Idah Author: RailRat coach Wrote:

The Leslie 5-chimes, > when in good working order, sound great. I have always thought that "sick/ill" sound of 6936's horn made it kind of unique to this unit. Wonder if it was customized somehow to sound that way just for 6936? Jim Baker Riverside, CA |
