Great Sounding Chug & Horn on this Old Locomotive! Shortline Railroad + Industry Switching

Here’s another video of East Penn Railroad’s old & rare U23B locomotive, which is the second part to my video titled: “Old Locomotive has Trouble Switching Cars - Hits Garage Door + Wheel Slip!”    • Old Locomotive has Trouble Switching Cars ...  

On two different days I followed this train around on their short line branch between Sinking Spring and Ephrata after interchanging with the Norfolk Southern Railway in Reading, Pennsylvania: We’ll see several locations where the locomotive chugs and sounds it’s nice Leslie RS3K horn, as well as switching another industry on the line.

These General Electric “Universal Series” locomotives are known for having that distant 4-stroke “chug” which is also heard in the Dash-7 and early Dash-8 engines. These new GEVO’s just aren’t the same! I think they sound like vacuum cleaners, but I would appreciate your thoughts about older vs newer GE locomotives in the comments below!

The industry switching starts at 5:45.
Best chugging clip start times: 0:15; 0:45; 3:25.
My favorite railroad crossing shot with horn: 4:40
