You know, a good way to preserve a specific sound, say of a steam locomotive whistle or diesel airhorn, would be to specifically write it into a Classical music composition. That way in 2500, someone will have lovingly restored a Nathan M5 or Leslie RS5T horn for the Philharmonic.

the loving synthesis of the topic here on cohost du semaine, et certain rail game youtubers (and railfans in general) having strong feelings about whistles and horns.

i think the most william tell 1812 overture using a goddamn cannon horn to possibly use for this would be a chrysler bell victory siren but those almost all ended up nothing more than rust stains on top of buildings 'cause nobody wanted to try and get em down. but thats also not a vehicle horn. it's a dodge hemi driving a blower atttacched to a big horn for a big cold war siren

Yeah! I do love that there is a Siren Youtube with the same dedication as railfan youtube, and i've even been recommendation holed into Elevator Youtube by the same token. These people with a deep passion for a very specific range of devices, its admirable. good for all of em.
