That intro, that was gold! Even though the audio is quite decent in my opinion, but still.

Btw, in the description, two of the ACE 3000 links are blocked because the KZbin channel was terminated. Anyways, did you look it up in the web archives?

Yes

I totally understand why this is called a K5LA whistle, it sounds a LOT like an actual K5LA, especially the older ones on Amtrak

[@nssteampunk4865]

I blew a similar replica of this whistle at Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad on Cass Scenic Railroad Heisler #6

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

I miss that whistle it would be great to hear that whistle on 2100 when she’s fully restored back to operation although the whereabouts of this unique whistle is unknown to me could be at the B&O Railroad museum but I’m not 100% sure

[@thunderbird1921]

HOPEFULLY this magnificent whistle will soon be reunited with the 614, because guess who's ALSO being restored back to operation? Yep, that's right! Mr. Ross Rowland just reached a purchase agreement with a rail heritage group that will bring the mighty Greenbrier back to life in Strasburg in 2025, then make her a touring engine again! I'd love to see her meet up with 2100 at some point, along with N&W 611 if possible. Wild times in rail preservation.

[@Daybreak4375]

The K5LA whistle is very pretty to listen to.

[@ScarpawMutt]

0:06 was my favorite sequence, especially the quill at 0:09-0:10

[@thunderbird1921]

Hopefully a sound we will once again hear in less than two years from now.

[@thomasweekley9209]

Arguably one of the most gorgeous sounding whistles of all time. Even though it’s supposed to have the same notes as a Nathan K5LA horn, it still sounds GORGEOUS.

[@kirbyyork7669]

Imagine giving this whistle to PM 1225, SF 2926 or SP 4449.

Literally couldn't be any more different from a k5la. This is a six chime steam whistle, not a five chime air horn

[@regularguy7266]

It's a Nathan K5LA 5 chime, reason why people call it a K5LA is because it has the same toning to a K5LA horn.

[@kirbyyork7669]

It’s a 5 chime steam whistle that was built to play the same chords as the K5la air horn used on diesel locomotives. So it’s a K5la for steam locomotives. It’s all in the five chambers of the whistle.

[@dcoursey82]

I used to think the same thing, but it truly is a 5 chime with the same tuning as a K5LA. The whistle was made by Robert Swanson. This all came from Ross Rowland himself who was the owner and engineer of 614.

Like it, Bro 👊🏻👊🏻

[@atlantis0v-104]

It's sounds like NKP 765

Next do her Reading 6 chime

it does kinda sound like a k5la though.

I thought the K5LA was a horn , not a whistle

[@buzzytrains9037]

Technically could be a whistle if you make a 5 chime with the same tones as a K5LA

[@justinmeeks1868]

This is a 5 chime whistle that plays a B major 6th chord, which is the exact chord played by a K5LA. Think of it like playing the same chord on a like a pipe organ and a trumpet. The same musical chord, different instrument.

[@CaioValadaoo2010]

@@justinmeeks1868 oh, now i see, thank you for the info

[@CaidTheRailfan]

a K5LA is a horn but C&O 614 has a whistle with the same chords as a K5LA. Not a real K5LA but same chord.

[@AIRFORCECAP7]

Is this whistle a 5 or 6 chime?

[@WesternRailway1592]

Its A Chessie K5LA 5 Chime but some people hear a 6 chime

[@Iliketrains444]

I thought it was a 6 chime bc It reminds me of the whistle nkp 765 wears.

[@amtrak_121]

@@WesternRailway1592yeah it’s a 6 chime

[@T128Productions]

@@amtrak_121 Nah. That was a 5 chime right there. The two 6 chimes the 614 would wear a few years later would be a Reading 6 chime and a Western 6 chime (I forgot if that whistle was from a different railroad like ATSF, SP, C&O, etc.)

[@allegro446]

Im sorry but this sounds nothing like a K5LA. If theres anything that does sound like omes it's GTW 6325

[@Fidgetdidget]

um. a k5la is a horn. either someone lied to u or the entirety of the internet lied to me

[@T128Productions]

Clearly you don’t know anything about this particular K5LA, which is literally a steam whistle tuned to play the same notes as the air horn. I would know by doing actual research, not assuming that everyone’s an idiot.

[@Fidgetdidget]

@@T128Productions my mistake. Fortunately i do actually research. Considering all my models

[@T128Productions]

Oh. Well, sorry for being sarcastic. Thanks for letting me know that.

[@amtrak_121]

@@T128Productions it doesn’t sound anything like the horn. It sounds more like a 6 chime

[@WesternRailway1592]

@@T128Productions I agree with him They used the K5LA horn notes to create the whistle.

[@struck2soon]

Not my favourite whistle! Shame they didn’t put a classic C&O hooter on it.
