I went to my Brother's house to spend some time with my family and I decided that because he lives in an area where there are very few houses to do a K5LA run by like an actual train.  I added a high power light on the top of my van to portray the 3rd light like on locomotives.  I chose a road about 10 miles from my Brothers house which was long and dark in the middle of the country so is to not disturb any residents.  The first  horn blast you hear is from 1 mile away.  The second was 1/2 mile away, then from 1500 ft. and then about 500 ft. continuing on pass the camera to capture the Doppler Effect.  I started with 130 PSI in the air tank and emptied out about half of that when I passed the camera.

Thanks Kevin (My brother!) for the photography.  Well Done!!!
