Default Train horn

Has anybody ever heard one of these?? I'm not talkin some B.S. air horn, i'm talkin' the 3 trumpet set-up that requires a 3 gallon 1/2 hp compressor. The whole thing costing around 900 bucks??? My family owns a scrap yard and we just junked an ambulance. I pulled out a D.C. 1 hp compressor worth around 6 or 700$ all I need is a tank and the horns which are around 300 or less. It seems like a crazy amount of green to lay out on a horn but if anyone ever heard and Amtrack horn blowing, well, this is the same thing.
A guy with a big Ford f-350 diesel all suped up had a truck horn and a train horn and when he is behind you doing 80 and blasts it... You basically **** your pants.

The cool thing, is that there is so much room to hide the horns in the ram: in the front, inside the bumper and also under the bed. I figure I will put the compressor with a 5 gallon tank in the bed and I can run line incase I need compresed air. I think all Ram owners should do this. As soon as I save a few more pennies (I just blew over a grand on my dynatech headers) that is my next little mod. I will let everyone know how it goes and try to record it.
Is it hard to post pictures i these messages??

those things are crazy cool i was at a autozone tonight and a chevy trailblazer had one and he let everyone hear it, when i heard it on the road i was like what the f**k was that, made me jump a lil bit and find out where it came from, but that is one loud thing, i personally wouldn't mind one either, like ludracris said "move get out of the way" then the train horn blows , and tada out of your way cause they are scared
