More or less what I’m thinking. People did get used to multi-chime horns as they were adopted universally (even eventually by the air whistle holdouts), and I think part of that was railroads moving from two-chime to three, four, and five-chime horns. I don’t see any other roads planning to return to two-chime horns on their equipment though.
