Sounds much like 4201 (+44211?). I heard this same bizarre sounding thing 
go past the 25km post at around about 2250, Wednesday April 26. Sounded 
much like a typical non-muffled GM engine, though with a deeper sound 
(perhaps the 442? Though I know the 42 does sound a little 'different'). It 
blew it's horn here hear, and it was the same as I heard on 4201 over the 
past week while it was down. Pity I didn't get a sound recording for 
comparison (mind you, I didn't know about the move until I heard it from my 
window - didn't see it in any of the circulars posted).

Regards

Michael
