On a warm (but windy) day in Northeastern PA, we take you trackside for a very unique railroad test. It's a few days before the NRHS Convention in Scranton (June 19th, 2010 to be exact), and seven D-L ALCos from all different railroads and eras are all coupled up, MUed, and running together on a light engine move to Lehigh Summit. This spot was chosen to perform the mandated FRA air horn testing. This test determines of an air horn is too loud or not loud enough. The range is between 94 dBs and 112 dBs. Many of the horns actually did not pass the test due to being too loud (not by much, but still "too loud"). We'll hear all seven air horns once for a total of 10 seconds, then watch the engines move along for the next one to be tested. From a PC-era Leslie 3-chime to sweet sounding Nathan 5 chimes, you'll hear a bunch of cool sounding air horns. Which one do you like best? Throughout the video there will be annotations about each locomotive's heritage. If that goes too fast, you can read them below in order shown in the video.
#2452 is was built for the Erie Lackawanna in 1964. She later was acquired by BC Rail as their #802. She then ended up back home on the D-L.
#2461 is a sister of #2452, also built for the EL in 1964. She also ended up on BC Rail as #811, and then came home to be the DL's #2461.
#3642 was originally built for the PRR, but by the time she was delivered, the Penn Central merger had already taken place, and was delivered as PC #6342. She then became CR #6792, then went out to California as Delta Bulk Terminal's #1001. She was acquired by the DL and renumbered #6793, before holding her current number, #3642. She is supposedly the only operating ALCO (built in the US) C636 in the USA.
#405 was built for the Lehigh Valley in 1964, and then was acquired by the Delaware & Hudson and became their #405. She breifly wore the number 422 on the D&H. She then made a trek out to the midwest to become Indiana Hi Rail Company's #310. She would then return home to PA, becoming the DL's #405. She was repainted in 2009 into the GVT's Corporate scheme.
#211 was built for the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1962 as their #7302. She would later be renumber to SP #4002. Later on she was acquired by the Delaware Valley Railroad and became their #211. The DVR was short lived, and #211 was eventually acquired by the DL and retained its number.
#2453 was also built for the EL in 1964. She never left the area, and soon became the DL's #2453. She would then be re-lettered for the Mohawk, Andirondack & Northern, a family operation of the GVT Corporation.
#2423 has been around the block. She was built for the PRR in 1965 as #2423. She then went on to the Penn Central and managed to retain her number until she was retired from Conrail. She then went to the New York & Lake Erie Railroad as their #6101. Later on the Port Colborne Harbour Railway acquired the #6101. In recent years, she made it onto the DL, and now sees regular service as #2423.
