  • That Crosby on Climax No. 9 has got to be one of the most mesmerizing whistles I've ever heard. Sounds like Tweetsie No. 190 before her whistle was retuned. You outdid yourself with this one man!
  • 5:47 190 sound so much better with her Crosby repaired. Its amazing she's had that for over 50 years. You do beautiful audio and video capture. 👏
  • I absolutely love the MD Whistles Reading 6-Chime on Cass Scenic Railroad #2
  • 4:58 by far one of the most iconic voices of of Southern Railway number 4501 is indeed this whistle right here the way it looks with that modified whistle valve rod and the way it sounds is just amazing
  • An amazing video. My favorite whistles where the Shop build N&W Hooter on GMSR 1702, Crosby 3 Chime on Tweetsie 190 and the Reading 6 Chime on CSSR 2 and all the other CSSR whistles as well
  • I love the Tennessee Valley Railroad 630 and 4501 along with Great Smoky Mountain Railroad 1702
  • 1:20:11 My Favorite Steam Locomotives Voice! The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Yellowstone!
  • @iura2.022
    Cass scenic railroad Crosby 3 chime, Dollywood 192 Crosby 3 chime, tweetsie 190 Crosby 3 chime, southern 3 chime, Ravenna whistle blow manifold 2, 4, 6 whistle #4, #2, #2, ALCO 5 chime (GSMR #1702)
  • 1:04 the echo of the southern longbell was incredible!! Was this particular 3 chime actually from a Southern Ts Mountain?
  • So, on that Ravenna manifold number 1, what whistle is number 8?? Sound like if on high pressure steam, it could sound like big boy 4011
  • Have you been to the Great Lakes and see the ships up there? I know it's somewhat off topic but they do connect together.
