That type of horn is amazing on that locomotive. Nice video!

I think it's really neat having Dash-9 locomotives in Australia. The horns sound much like they do here in Chipley on the P & A sub.

David, iron ore railroads in Australia always run ore trains that are very long, loaded or empty. The ore operations in Australia sure look highly interesting to come and visit one day to view all the operations there. In fact, BHP one time officially set the world record for longest ore train with almost 700 cars total!
