Found the following in a couple of threads on here:

http://www.hella.com.au/cgi-bin/catalog ... lmaint=350
or go visit your local truck wrecker and get one

Made by EMD company pays about $1368 for them ouch
Plus they require bucket loads of Air

Here u go:
http://www.wolo-mfg.com/truck.htm
Wolo has designed the Orient Express Horn to be smaller in size so to fit into engine compartment's that have less open space. Four (4) brass triple chrome plated trumpets produce the powerful train horn sound. The Orient Express will provide the driver with comfort of knowing that he/she will be heard! Requires an on-board air system with a minimum of 3-gallon storage tank, (recommended Wolo on-board air system is Model 840). Built with a heavy-duty 12-volt electric solenoid. The Orient Express comes with mounting hardware and 10 feet of ¼" nylon high-pressure hose.

Can apparently also buy them here:

I'll go through the rest of the threads a search brought up in a minute after I drop the kids at school.
