The Leslie Tyfon A-200 was one of the most popular horns of early dieselization, showing up on
hundreds of EMD passenger and freight locomotives, as well as Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 electrics,
and even some late steam locomotives such as Southern Pacific's famous semi-streamlined Daylight
4-8-4's such as #4449.

Factory tuning was: D# |
Once very popular, the single chime "honkers" like the A-200 fell out of
favor with the advent of the multi-chime airhorn. Rare to find today, the A-200 can
still occasionally be heard on older shortline locomotives and on museum engines.
