I think the unknown 6 chime might be Hyce’s whistle. It’s called the Huber six chime

[@AlexTrain5249]

3:21:05 The moment Hyce welled up from his beautiful whistle.

[@adamschmidt8061]

Hyce’s whistle got my vote

[@railfanningjay]

Could you time stamp it so I can hear it

[@MRRAILFANTAYDEN]

What was the time stomp?

[@Physigist]

@@MRRAILFANTAYDEN 3:04:14 is the timestamp for the start of the round with Hyce's Whistle

[@CSX2716RailVids-mz3rz]

2:40:44 i know this one is a 5 chime but it sounds similar to what gsmr 1702’s illinois central 6 chime was. gave me a really big throwback

[@kellys.6047]

They should’ve announced the names of the whistles at the time of the blowing. It’s hard to remember the long list They were all hauntingly beautiful!🚂🚂🚂Everyone loves the sound.😃🚂❣️

[@BufferBoi]

1:22:33 i can imagine this one being put on one of our steam locomotives in England, probably a Britannia or a 5MT

[@GFORCEitsyaboy]

3:25:15 hyce running to get a video of his son 😂

[@williesworkshop5689]

I'm pretty partial to the FEC 3 chime longbell off #148. Its a great, rare whistle. 😉

[@bluescrew3124]

Cool to see HYCE here!

[@Grasstonaut]

This is great

[@ChargerusPrime]

I want the northern pacific 3 chime worn by 4449 which was owned by the late great Dick Yager. God rest his soul.

[@arthurschipper8906]

Whistle #4 gets my vote.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

I’m starting a model railroad series. Could I use some of the whistle recordings in my videos? I would like to use the Southern Ps-4 whistles, 5-inch Crosby, and Southern 3 chimes.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Sure, thanks for asking!

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

@@DelayInBlockProductions thank you.

[@SDE1994]

i wonder why americans have such an obsession with whistles, most enthusiasts in the UK dont know anything about whistles does the loco have a whistle? yes, done.

[@CadenKarow]

Probably cause most the stuff in the UK is ear breaking Single chimes
