Gordon,

According to the "hornologist" from Soundtraxx, he writes that the CB&Q used these horns:

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Leslie A200, Leslie A125, Leslie S2M

Everybody has their favorite sound decoder, but one current advantage on horn selection for the LokSound sound decoders is they offer a dual Leslie A200 option which is perfect for the early EMD delivered road diesels. And yes, you can hear the difference.

For those interested, this gets you to the Soundtraxx horn usage web page (organized by railroad).

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.
