New Hope Railroad: Love (and an L&NE 3-Chime) Is In The Air!!

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

That's a good choice for 40 to wear. Sounds quite like Frisco 1522. Hard to imagine 40 is almost 100 years old

And also Tremont & Gulf Railway #30 at the Texas State Railroad in July 2020. I have saw that engine and the Texas State Railroad on that same month and year. The whistle that it has on was a Hancock 3 chime whistle. And sounds similar to New Hope & Ivyland 40 in this video and Frisco 1522’s whistle.

At 3:30 when they were backing was priceless

Great video Jim! The L&NE 3 sounds amazing on 40!

[@Bigjimvideo]

It very much does! Thank you!

[@atsfevan0242]

That sure is 1 good whistle on 40, giving me frisco 1522 vibes hearing it

I'm glad that the groom's wish came true, it's not every day that you get to contact a railroad to do the honors. I'm so gonna do something like this with my future wife in the near future when I'm older, lol. Great shots btw

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thanks!! One day, perhaps...

[@mattstrains416]

Wow. That whistle sounds awesome on #40. I would love to get out there one day to go see her for myself. Great video!

[@samanthab1923]

Definitely distinct. Live nearby & always know when the steam engine is running 🚂

[@Bigjimvideo]

You really should one day!! I'm happy that I live about a half-hour (give or take) away.

[@businesscar10productions57]

Spectacular catch!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thank you very much!

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Awesome Video

[@nathancorcoran5347]

That’s Right.

[@2NY100]

Thank you Big Jim

[@Bigjimvideo]

You're welcome!!

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Totally reminds me of when 1522 ran her NRHS trip during the 1990 NRHS convention in St Louis

[@samanthab1923]

My son was out at Reeder Rd yesterday as well. Seemed like they had done some track work the day before. I think the wedding party stopped at Deer Park for the ceremony. Beautiful day for it 🥂

[@Bigjimvideo]

Is your son Shane, perchance? :)

Wow that L&NE 3 sounds great on 40! I would've thought the pitch would have been off a little considering the lower pressure on 40 as compared to 425, but man it sounds good!

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Pretty cool video of New Hope & Ivyland 40. The whistle sounds similar Frisco 1522’s whistle and Tremont & Gulf Railway 30’s whistle in July 2020 at the Texas State Railroad.

[@Bigjimvideo]

Thanks!

[@evanf1293]

that whistle is just making me think of Frisco 1522 when hearing it since it sounds a lot like the Hancock whistle 1522 wore in excursion service

[@evanf1293]

@@nathancorcoran5347 huh, didn't know that, thx

[@alishamcdonald7316]

That whistle sounds like 1522

[@nathancorcoran5347]

It also sounds like Tremont & Gulf Railway #30 whistle in July 2020. I have saw the locomotive in that same month and year.
