Re: Annual Train Horn Honk Gathering

Coming back from Knoxville, my wife and I stopped by this Friday afternoon and received quite the horn job at the rail crossing. There were folks (per car tags) from California, Oregon, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio from my small bit of snooping. One guy had twin large air tanks in the back of his p-up plumbed with two diesel horn sets. Whats more unique is he attached a steam whistle to the piping. He towed an operating gasoline powered air compressor on a trailer to keep the tanks filled. He towed this whole rig passed everyone on the road blowing the steam whistle using a long cord from the whistle up to the cab.

if you can stop by I suggest bringing ear plugs for long stays.
