The C44-9W, part of General Electric's Dash 9 series, became a common freight locomotive for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in the 1990s, and its Nathan K5LA horn became one of the most recognised sounds in North American railroading. This recording circulates as a hornsound asset for Trainz, the train simulator, and through VRChat train builds such as Mikadolad's Trains. Shared by railfan creators and simulator players, it survives online as a compact, authentic horn sample for virtual routes and train videos.

Short ATSF C44-9W diesel locomotive blast on a Nathan K5LA horn from Trainz and VRChat, used for train arrivals, crossings and railfan edits.
This is a short, powerful blast from the Nathan AirChime K5LA horn fitted to an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe C44-9W diesel locomotive. The clip lasts under two seconds and delivers the classic multi-chime American freight horn sound, loud, brassy and layered, with a sharp attack that cuts straight through background noise. It feels urgent and unmistakably railroad, instantly signalling a heavy train approaching a crossing or pulling away. In videos and games it works as both a realistic detail for railfans and a bold punctuation mark that grabs attention.
