I don't think the horns from one unit can be operated from another unit, but when they are coupled up in a consist, the horn in the A unit would loud enough to be adequate. The reason for a horn on the B unit is when it is being shuttled around the yard or engine terminal alone by a hostler.

That is correct. The horn is not an MU function and can only be sounded from the cab of the unit it is on. The B units do have control stands inside the hood, F unit B units had them as well. I do believe there *should* be at least 1 horn, but I could be wrong.

After thinking about it I did some looking and haven't found a PC unit with a horn so far..
That doesn't mean the Baltimore and Potomac shouldn't have one, of course!

Odd to me that there isn't a horn mounted somewhere. Of course you're right, the B&P shall have horns on their "B" units!!

*EDIT* I just looked through countless photos of Santa Fe GP7B and BN, BNSF, UP, and PRR GP9B units, and NONE of them had a horn shown. Maybe it was down under the pilot or something. Or maybe they just didn't have them? Ralph, I guess you are good to go!!!
