Disney World Railroad Ride

[@davidng2336]

I’ll be sure to ride this when I leave for Orlando this Friday! Btw: Walter has a new whistle.

[@Steamfan1]

Walter does have a new whistle, but it’s probably temporary. The original buckeye whistle doesn’t sound like anything is wrong, so it’s probably just getting some maintenance.

AWESOME WHISTLING AT 7:07 ESPECIALLY THE MICKEY MOUSE MARCH AND JINGLE BELLS!!!

[@pinchy08]

I did hear the Mickey Mouse March. But not Jingle Bells. I’ll have to listen closely. They did the Mickey Mouse March Twice though.

[@brianwu2697]

@@pinchy08 the second time around was Jingle Bells!

[@pinchy08]

Ok. Now I heard it. I guess only around the holidays the train and boat whistle Jingle Bells after the Mickey Mouse March. Did you also hear the Shave and a Haircut?

[@brianwu2697]

@@pinchy08 yes, I believe it’s long-short-short, then Shave and a Haircut, then Mickey Mouse.

I hope when I return to Disney World this January 2 trains will run again. Lilly was the only one running. Hopefully Walter or Roy will run. I need one last ride behind Roy before he is taken to the Strasburg Railroad for his overhaul. So far no word when Roger will return.

[@pinchy08]

For those of you who said Walter has a new whistle, what does this whistle sound like? As an example Roy was tooting Rogers Lonergan/Lukenhimer 3 chime as a replica of his whistle was being made. Normally Roy’s whistle sounds equivalent to the riverboat’s whistle.

[@davidng2336]

The new whistle is a Baldwin 5 inch 3-chime. Like you said in another comment, it gives off Tweetsie Railroad vibes. The whistle on Roy is not a replica, but the whistle it wore back in the 1970s. It still sounds similar to the Liberty Belle as it is made by the same whistle manufacturer. There is a rumor of the new whistle on Walter being permanent, as someone said that his Buckeye is now on Lilly Belle to replace the latter's whistle.

[@pinchy08]

This whistle also gives off the equivalent of a B&O 3 chime.

[@pinchy08]

I’m sure this is temporary. It just isn’t Walter without his Buckeye 3 chime. That was his voice.

[@pinchy08]

Walters whistle has been recently swapped out again. This time for a 4 inch Crosby 3 chime. Sounds equivalent to Roger’s Lonergan and a Lukenhimer 3 chime.

@@pinchy08 wow, I'm gonna have to find a video of that. I'm sure eventually they will make up their minds lol.
