Frisco 1522 Valley Park 9-28-02

[@careyfaulkner7293]

My grandfather use to run that engine between lindenwood and newburg back in the day...love seeing it start up the hill at valley park

[@kelbym07]

Loudest steamer in America right there...gotta love that sharp exhaust.

[@thecapisoffyt]

Wrong. It is the RBMN 425

[@jimmyhook4852]

@@thecapisoffyt 425 is only a 4-6-2, smaller than 1522. :T

[@celrailfan4449]

That would be UP 4014 with it's Hancock 3 chime if we are talking about locomotives that are operable condition, if we are talking about retired and preserved steam locomotives, I think it might be SP 5021 with it's 6 chime

[@regularguy7266]

​@Average Mexican Railfan (UP 6906) were talking as in stack talk/exhaust, not whistles. Examples would be of course Frisco 1522, Reading 2102, Reading and Northern 425, Western Maryland 734, and a couple more.

[@theactioneffect]

It will never cease to amaze me how some people (I'm looking at YOU white shirt guy!) manage to stand directly in the path of something that big moving that fast for that long. Also excellent video! That engine sounds amazing.

[@tylergreen4843]

That's probably the best example of a "Foamer"

Damn she's bookin' it!

[@mariestick6636]

Awesome

[@LAPnumber4]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love that engine.

[@ArnavKhode]

She is a beast and so loud!

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

P42DC 205 must have felt so lucky to ride with Frisco 1522 before she went silent again.

[@BarteauRailArchives96]

Do you mind if I use this video?

[@voidjavelin23]

give it a credit atleast

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

yeah hopefully when she does come back to reacquire her crew dormitory car lounge and observation car the only car at the Museum now is there is her tool car

[@Taquin1977]

Wow, they laid on the whistle, didn't they?

[@nssteampunk4865]

They did!

[@jsos3985]

It was the last weekend of excursions and getting all the momentum they could for the grade up to Webster groves

[@boardman49]

Is that a Hancock 3 chime whistle? It sounds like the 611.

[@pestilentwinds]

I believe that's right, although the 611 sounds hoarse to me in comparison to the 1522.

[@DivergingClear]

That's an older model flat-top long-bell three-chime Hancock. 611 has the later step-top Hancock model, which was designed to work with superheated steam rather than "wet" steam as heard here.

[@benlahrman4149]

Nothing like a frisco reefer

[@atsffan-lm9ib]

I wish they had the trainz whistle

[@LionelTrains50]

I have a railroad spike off the old frisco it’s a 1950s railroad spike

Don't have to overuse a.k.a. so much. :/

Nice video. Man that thing is loud. I would have loved to have heard it.
