Dollywood Express 3-31-2011

On yet another Rainy Day in East Tennesee, i headed to Dollywood To catch EX-White Pass and Yukon 70 class 2-8-2 Mikado #70 in operation. The locomotive put on a Wonderful Show For Our cameras and we even go to go Behind the scenes To the back shop to get a Preview of Ex-WP&Y 2-8-2 192's new Paint! Special thanks to John H. For taking me to the backshops!

This whistle is an Illinois Central 3 chime, made at the railroad's shop at Paducah. Diverging Clear's Mary McPherson bought it, and it is now in the shop at the Monticello Railway Museum. It was used on Southern Railway 401 in the fall of 2017.

@EMDX90 I think that it is an Illinois Central 3 chime.

@EMDX90 Its not. This is a Different Handcock 3 chime. 734's whistle is owned by an Engineer at Dollywood. That whistles is a Handcock 3 Chime steptop. I have video of it on 70.

[@SooLineHogger]

Whistle kind of sounds like the one on WM 734...

Flat top, long bell Hancock 3 chime.

Before it was tuned up. It sounded pretty good later that year but it lost the "chirp".
