The railroad that totally killed Altoona they kept any and all jobs away from coming into Altoona they refused to give new places the water rights and after all prospect of any growth to Altoona was done they got up and wiped their feet and walked out, and still to this day is the norm

Is that whistle from 6167?
@DavidOram7 ай бұрын
It would be 6218 or 6167’s whistle, depending on which locomotive was leading when the recording was made. The sound recording is from the album “Northerns in concert”.
@SoldierFox13936 ай бұрын
@@DavidOram then its definitely 6167 because I've listened to a lot of 6218s whistle and it sounds way different and 6167 was mostly in the front all the time

I missed seeing 6167 in service, but I was on one of 6218’s last excursions in the summer of 1971. I also spent many hours in the baggage car behind Bullet Nose Betty 6060 in the 80’s. I once clocked her at 95mph along the lakeshore coming back to Montreal….happy days. Beautiful painting.

I've read that especially the later classes w/higher boiler pressure were prone to driver slip. In this example tho the engineer may have just been a yard Hostler who didn't care one way or another.

@@b3j8 Yeah. A lot of the J1 classes I’ve seen from videos have had wheel slippage, one of which probably was a J1e. Another of which was severe slippage. It could be them hiring some inexperienced engineer and he was rushing, pulling the throttle too fast.
