6988 Whistle Storm - May, 2019

[@kirbyyork7669]

0:51 I love the GTW 6 chime she wore.

[@amtrak_121]

The southern 3 chime sounds a lot like a Milwaukee road s-3 3 chime (MILW#261’s original whistle)

[@amtrak_121]

@Kymani Brown yep. Search it up for yourself

[@electrik_loss]

Just looked it up, it's shockingly similar. Love how raspy it sounds too lol

[@Ray-os2wv]

Guatemalan whistle sounds like a worn PRR 3 chime. There’s a recording of #460 and they sound identical. 🤣

[@certifiedtrainboy]

Could you possibly provide a link to the recording. I'm quite interested.. XD Edit : I think I just found it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoOZi2ilfrl0nLs

[@twrfan7841]

what if it is?!

[@frxbo]

Honestly I Like It With The Original Chinese Whistle.

[@OwenMessenger]

That first whistle sounds like a thunderbolt 1000t siren

[@traingamer2037]

I noticed it too

[@electrik_loss]

Ay, it sounds really good like that

[@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore]

I was gonna say that, too. It sounds EXACTLY like it!

[@oldtechman10134]

The unidentified 6 chime I think is a GTW 6 chime.

[@MrBnsftrain]

did 6988 ever sound its air horn after its return to service in 2018? I noticed it is still fitted with one.

[@tylergreen4843]

The Illinois central 3 chime sounds more close to a&wp 290's whistle on its run from Atlanta to Montgomery

[@certifiedtrainboy]

Doesn't it... *always sound like that to everyone??*

[@tylergreen4843]

@@certifiedtrainboy yes, it does :( I can't get it out of my head!

[@Cnw8701]

That sounds like a Thunderbolt siren on Chopper 5!

[@hectorsproductions2018]

I love the (unidentified) 6 chime whistle!

[@alexthesouthernpacificmt4879]

Same

[@Henriqueleal0609]

Its a Grand Trunk Western 6 Chime

[@Cbazz]

It looks like a ATSF steam engine but with Smoke Deflectors

[@Railfan105.]

I can kinda see that.

[@Railfan105.]

Man, I completely forgot I left this comment. Imagine my surprise at 4:40 a.m. re-reading this comment, noticing a reply, then seeing it's myself.

[@SouthernKansasRailfan]

It looks like BM&R 425 finally has some competition.

[@kirbyyork7669]

Or possibly the N&W 611.

[@Clem73]

Because of that Illinois central 3 chime right ?

[@Stormysteamie]

Sounds like a Thunderbolt 1000 siren

[@Pkmn_mlp_sonic_fnaf_fan]

But not just 1000 a 1000T

[@cykablyatman6242]

that unidentifed 6 is just an atsf 6 chime

[@zachpetersen9425]

Unidentified 6 chime was of Grand Trunk Western origin

[@DivergingClear]

Not quite. It was a reproduction of a Grand Trunk whistle rather than an original.

[@ArnavKhode]

This loco looks just like 844, except its a 2-10-2 (Santa Fe) and has no Mars Light.

[@jayyy3_yt295]

The Undentified whistle is a GTW 6 Chime

[@DivergingClear]

Later we found out it is actually a reproduction GTW 6-chime. The Southern and I.C. whistles are all reproductions.

[@awp2902]

Sound like it wearing it's Chinese whistle at end

[@blairterry9435]

Wait one of the whistles I heard sounded like it's from I Love Toy Trains!

[@AlexTrain5249]

That's because it is one of those whistles. It's that deep Longbell 3 Chime I'm guessing.

[@blairterry9435]

It's the whistle at 2:10.

[@TM24_MBP]

I like this part 2:04

[@YukariAkiyamaTanks]

My favorite is the chinese whistle

[@jasonfeldman7497]

Is the reproduction Southern 3-chime a long-bell or short-bell whistle? That's my favorite one on this video.

[@Railfan105.]

A bit late, but it's a short bell whistle.

[@nathanmahoney6346]

Isn't the IC 3 chime a copied hancock long bell 3 chime?

[@DivergingClear]

Similar. It's based on the Hancock long bell but is tuned different.

[@nathanmahoney6346]

@@DivergingClear Oh ok

[@Cnw8701]

Communist 2-10-2 coming through! 😆

[@TrainTrackTrav]

I'm sorry, but that Guatemalan whistle is simply horrendous. LOL
