Nostalgia & History > Monday Memories - A Little Different, Tuning an M5 HornDate: 01/05/26 09:07 Monday Memories - A Little Different, Tuning an M5 Horn Author: FiveChime Each year, many years ago, a bunch of folks who appreciated locomotive horns would gather at the Southern Application Railroad Museum
in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for a locomotive horn gathering. This little segment shows great horn master, the late Ken Lanovich tuning an old Nathan M5 horn. Also pictured briefly there is Dean Ellisworth, person responsible for the K5LA horns we hear today on Amtrak locomotives. Regards, Jim Evans You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

On the Seaboard at Hamlet NC, the rare H5 was called a "Wampus Cat".

I rode down there with Ken one year. I think I caught a glimpse of Ray Weart, Bill Williamson and Ed Long in the video. Back in the 80's and 90's you never knew what Ken was going to pull out of his trunk. Gone 12 years now. He was GTW1516 on TO EDIT After a few minutes I remembered Bill Williamson's first name and also Ken's TO handle and have corrected them. Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 01/05/26 14:05 by Englewood. |
