Like that horn location!

Always loved their sound. Rode behind a pair of them over the pass on the south island in 2000 and the chug echoing off the canyon was glorious.

Love the pics, thanks for posting!

Excellent,!  All this rail action sitting at my kitchen table with my morning coffee! Thank you for the sharing. Father and Son on the job together, priceless!  Is the location of the horn unnerving to the crew? Is it effective facing down like that?
