Pure, uninterrupted EMD engine sounds. GP40X 3209 and GP40s 3001 and 3203 blast upgrade on a scorching summer afternoon. With the lack of air conditioning, the crew could only open the door and hope the heat from the working locomotives stayed behind them. GP40 3001 had a minor mechanical issue at the time that resulted in puffs of smoke accompanied by a reduction in rpm.

GP40X 3209 and GP40s 3001 and 3203 at the same location as two days earlier. The relatively past pace of the locomotives (30 mph or so) belied the 85 car-freight stretched out behind.

GP40X 3209, GP40's 3206 and 3001, and GP40X 3210 in run-7 (then 8) on a 68-car freight. The engineer yelled a "hello!" out the window as the train passed. The long whistle blasts only served to highlight how discordant the Nathan P5 horn on 3209 really was - the "strangled goose" as I called it. It sounds exactly the same on the unit's later incarnation as SLR 3806.

This was the first train I saw powered solely by SLR slug sets. The consist was GP40-3 #3803, RM-1s #805 and #804, and GP40-3 #3806 managing 20 mph on a late-running, 65-car 394.

The very long gap between the sound of the locomotives whining reveals the two near-silent RM-1s in the middle. The horn of #3803 is a K5LA that was suffering the effects of snow partially clogging some of the bells.

This was the first time I witnessed SLR's road slugs battling the 1% grade entering Waterville, QC. It was an impressive sight: 2 SLR slug pairs, 83 cars, full throttle, sanders blasting, 10 miles an hour. Motive power was GP40-3s 3803 and 3805, with RM-1s 805 and 806 between. While I was initially blown away by this performance, it was in fact typical of most slug-powered trains at the crest of this grade.

SLR train 394 headed East with GP40-3 3804, RM-1 804, GP40-3 3806 and 62 cars, recorded down an embankment, practically underneath the train. The two Geeps, roaring and whining in run-8, were managing a little over 20 mph as they headed uphill. The chorus of whines from 3804 is because of a mix-up of radiator fans with 8 and 9 blades (8 blades is normal). Shortly after passing, the engineer blew the pleasant K5LA of #3804 for the Courval road crossing North of Waterville, QC.

Short but sweet. As GP40-3 3804, RM-1 804, GP40-3 3806 and GP40 3001 exit Waterville, QC, with train 394, the engineer blows a horn greeting, seeing me taking pictures. The relatively short freight was an easy pull for the engines in mid-throttle.

Another recording of the slug sets battling the 1% Waterville, QC grade. This train had GP40-3 3804, RM-1 804, GP40-3 3805 and RM-1 805 in run-8, dragging 103 cars uphill at 10 mph. This was one of the longest trains I've seen behind just two slug sets.

Yes, only two 16-645E3 engines were running on this train, but it could easily have been four by the sound of them. They could be heard 15 minutes before passing. The roar is from GP40-3s 3805 and 3803, with RM-1s 806 and 805 in between, slogging uphill towards Compton, QC, in full throttle at 15 mph (25 km/h). This section of track North of Compton is a brief respite in the grade that stretches past the US border; steeper sections brought the train down to 10 mph.

The brassy Nathan P5 of 3805 was blowing for a rural farm crossing. Note the whine that started up just as the engines were passing, from one of the radiator fans starting up on #3803.

A spectacular example of run-8 EMD engine sounds. This is a close trackside recording of GP40-3 3805, RM-1s 806 and 805 and GP40-3 3803 just as they crest the Waterville, QC grade at 10 mph. The train behind only had 63 cars, but it was rendered proportionally heavier than usual by a lack of Intermodal cars. The terrain and surrounding buildings here (about a hundred feet downhill from the Waterville crossing) create a ground-shaking reverberation of the engine sounds.

The units are getting a run for the Waterville grade, which they will later crest at about 10 mph. Since my regular visits to this crossing in previous years, it has been upgraded with new signals and gates.

How slow was this train? The gap between the first and second whistle blasts of GP40-3 3806 was so long that the unit's oscillating ditch lights (activated by the horn) stopped flashing.

GP40-3 3806 (with RM-1 805) and GP40 3206 passed the Waterville, QC crossing at about 10 mph, and were likely in single-digit speed while climbing the 1% Waterville grade before the crossing. However, after the train passed onto level track beyond Waterville, the speed was up over 20 mph. The train was an afternoon 394 freight with 59 cars.

GP40 3000 leads an ex-BRC LLPX GP38-2 (either 2231 or 2232), GP40 3733 and the second ex-BRC GP38-2 in a roar of pleasing EMD engine sounds. GP40 3000 was running at reduced rpm for much of 2000 due to a mechanicl problem, and its droning is evident for the first part of the recording. The horn sounds like a hybrid Nathan P3, with bells #1, #2 and #3.

They were leading an average-sized (70+ cars) train at about 30 mph. The loud whines at about 0:24 and 0:29 are from the radiator fans, grouped together by the four running units being coupled in back-to-back pairs.

GP40 3003 was known for its Leslie S3L with a #25 chime that alternated between the horn's lowest note (C) and its highest (B) while making entertaining squawking sounds... These are the finest such sounds I have on tape. The unit was leading GP40's 3203, 3204 and GP40X 3209 in notch 8. The "hissing" of the engines is typical in very cold weather.

GP40s 3003 and 3202 struggle at the foot of the Waterville, QC grade at 15 mph, filling in double-duty as GP40-3 3806 and RM-1 805 follow dead-in-tow. The GP40-3 had quit because of low cooling water, taking the RM-1 with it and effectively cutting tractive effort in half.

After stalling on the Waterville grade, GP40s 3003 and 3202 (with dead GP40-3 3806 and RM-1 805) pulled a few cars into Waterville to drop off on a siding, then backed down to the foot of the grade to start the train again.

The prominent whine for the first part of the recording is from the turbocharger of GP40 3004, a characteristic shared with SLR 3806 (formerly SLR 3209). 3004 has a Leslie S3L with an intermittently functioning middle chime.

One of the most impressive trains I've seen. Run-8, sanding, 7-8 mph, and a chorus of roars and whines. This train had GP40 3004, GP40 3001, RM-1 806 and GP40M-3 3806. The two GP40's were running at reduced power to prevent wheelslip (a subtle decrease in the pitch of the turbo whine gives it away) but 3806 was running full-tilt - a testament to the incredible pulling power and superior adhesion of the slug sets. Luckily, this is a short grade, and the train reached 20 mph after passing - the GP40's can only run in single-digit speeds for a limited time before risking traction motor overheating. Although not all that long (89 cars) the train had many loaded cars.

Another train battling the Waterville grade. GP40s 3004 and 3202, along with GP40-3 3805 and RM-1 806, have a 66-car freight under control on a frigid evening. Once again, the two GP40s are running in "power-matching" mode—the engine sounds are subdued and none of the radiator fans are running (hence no whine)—while the GP40-3 and RM-1 are putting out full power. With no traffic and the train only moving at 10 mph, the whistle blasts were very timid.

GP40 3202 had an incredible Leslie S-5T that was one of the loudest horns I'd ever heard. It was later replaced by a melodious but less blasty Airchime K5L. The only other unit on the SLR at the time to have a Leslie S-5T was SLR (LLPX) 3207, but it never had more than two functioning bells and it too was replaced. Years later, when sister GP40 3207 was purchased outright and renumbered to SLR 3008, it received a nearly identical-sounding Leslie S-5T - either the one originally on 3202 or the one on 3207 restored to full sound.

This was the first time I discovered the short but steep grade entering Waterville, QC, which later became one of my favourite trainspotting locations. This is the sound of GP40's 3206, 3211 and 3203 headed upgrade at 18 mph with 70 cars in tow. While I was amazed at how the units were slowed by the grade at the time, I later came to expect other trains cresting the grade in single-digit speed. Icing on the cake was a series of friendly horn blasts from the engineer.

Category: Uphill battle
One of the greatest horn-related losses came in late 2005-early 2006 when the Airchime K3H horn on 3206 went from melodious to strange. The highest note moved from A# to C, creating a diminished chord. The horn was later replaced altogether with one of a type unfamiliar to me. Power on the train was provided by GP40 3206, RM-1 803, GP40M-3 3803 and a second RM-1/GP40M-3 set, moving 75 cars upgrade at a respectable 15 mph or so.

Landscape and building characteristics in Waterville create a substantial reverberation when standing in a particular spot, as demonstrated by this recording. GP40 3207, IC SD40-2R 6002, RM-1 806 and GP40M-3 3805 move 81 cars at 12-14 mph in run-8. The IC unit appeared in early 2005 for a few months during a traffic spike and power shortage.

Another enthusiastic greeting from an SLR crew made for an upbeat beginning to 2004 trainspotting. What sounds like an attempt at "Jingle Bells" on the horn turned into a series of short blasts. GP40 3208, GP38-2 2260 and GP40s 3207 and 3203 make light work of the 54 cars following.
