Chris...Some of the 7/9/20s received Leslie S2 horns over time. The 7/9s
that got the S2s had them on the top of the short hood and kept the
second horn as can be seen in photos. But it is hard to tell from photos
the difference between Leslie A200s and Wabco E2s. They sound very much
alike, so setting up sound decoders probably doesn't make a difference.
As for the GP20s I would think they would use the same horn when
relocating them as long as they were not defective.

   Would it not depend on time frame? Did they tend to change horns or
always use the same ones? I know for example on the GP20'S they were
delivered with horns on the fireman's cab side, but were eventually
moved to top center. Didn't know if maybe some units also changed horns
altogether across the years.
   I think your premise is, however, correct.

Group...Were the horns on these locos Wabco E2 type or Leslie A200.
I see in Zephyr issue 30 that the Fs and GP20s had type E so I wonder if
the same is true here and probably the SD7/9s as well.
