NC&StL 576 Whistle - First Time On Steam

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

One thing I find so interesting is that NKP 765 and NC&StL 576 have the same numbers just arranged differently

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

Oh shoot, you’re right! It can’t be a coincidence that their whistles were switched between each other at the time.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx the whistles weren’t switched 765 is equipped for secondary whistle valve behind the smokestack to install a secondary whistle Pere Marquette 1225 has the same feature main whistle for both locomotives are mounted on the steam dome and this wasn’t the first time that 765 had a secondary whistle I recalled that she once wore a PRR 3 chime whistle when she ran excursion from Orville Ohio to Columbus Ohio on what would become the Ohio Central Railroad back then it was still owned by Conrail

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan Oh, thanks for clarifying.

[@xomvel]

What’s even more interesting is that NKP 765 has an NYC&StL label somewhere on top, which looks similar to NC&StL.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@xomvel wow that’s very interesting I did not know that very cool

For Sitting Idle As Long As It Has, 576's Whistle is In Great sounding condition. I can't wait to hear it on 576

[@Patrick_3751]

What a great sounding whistle. Can't wait to hear it on 576 once she's back in operation! Also, I love the sight of the leaves falling at the end of the clip. Almost looked like confetti.

[@thatairplaneguy]

One of the best whistles! Sounds like a big steamer should.

[@SouthernRails1210]

This sounds beautiful

[@josephcason5782]

I love it. It brought back great memories of when I rode the 2716 in May of 82. Also of the whistle we had on the 819 in 89 & 90. It brought tears to this ole fogey's eyes .

[@rbd1303]

No way! 2716 is my favorite steam engine especially in Southern livery. You are so darn lucky!

[@apache4541]

Thank God. that steam locomotive back alive and. it really powerful double torque, I want to see keep steam rebuilt new life.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Great sounding whistle! I can hardly wait to see the 576 running. When I first saw her in the park many years ago I thought she was a prime candidate to return to steam and now my wish is coming true. Beautiful whistle like the original N&W J. Thanks NKP 765 for letting us hear her sounds.

[@tom7601]

Brings a tear to the eye!

[@pat370]

Dam that’s one beautiful whistle. Can’t wait to see her running

[@atsfevan0242]

The whistle sounds almost the same as 611's whistle she had in the 90s

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

@Rich Guggenheim It is. It's a Hancock 3 Chime (3 Note) long-bell superheated steam whistle. These whistles are common on steam locomotives such as SP&S 700, SP 4449, UP 844, UP 3985, UP 4014, N&W 611, WMSR 734, WMSR 1309, PRR 5550, and NCST&L 576.

[@evanf1293]

Can't wait to hear this on the real 576 in the next few years once the rebuild is completed

[@PereMarquette1223]

@@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos it’s a Hancock valve with a custom bell made in the NC&StL shops from what I’ve seen

[@RocketStephen618]

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Beautiful sounding whistle

[@StrictlySteam]

Kinda sounds like the whistle Lionel put on the VisionLine Big Boy.

[@Cessna-er4je]

Sort of reminds me UP's whistles on their steam locomotives

[@red_river_garage]

I originally thought it was n&w 611's whistle

[@atsfevan0242]

Yeah it sounds a lot like the one she wore in the 90s

[@Romans--bo7br]

Great shot of the 765 and to hear 576's beautiful three-chime once again. I assume that the whistle will be returned to the 576 after "testing"... if not, already? Great "Stack talk" out of the 765!! The Three-Chime sounds a Lot, like UP's 844.

[@NERRP2017]

Yeah 576 coming back love that l&n dixie line loco

[@nathandeal9703]

Now that’s the sound a proper locomotive!

[@johnbosler2211]

Awesome sounding whistle

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

Interesting how 576 and 765 both operate on a similar PSI level. 765 operates on 245 psi, and 576 operates on 250 psi.

[@patricesmith11]

But the engines number is 765 from the nickel plate road

[@rogerhuber3133]

Now THAT's the only improvement that can be made to an NKP Berk! Sounds awesome.

[@webbheads1962]

What a great sound! 'm one of the lucky ones who got to ride in the cab of #765 about 5 years. It's whistle is also great but not as deep of sound as this one

[@stevew270]

Kinda cool that it's on a locomotive with the same numbers, just rearranged a little. It kinda sounds like a whistle on a Potomac 4-8-4 from The Wild Mary

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

The Mars light looks good on it

[@Graulas]

was not expecting a hancock 3 chime!

[@NW-gi1cp]

Its a teaser trailer for the 576

[@tankthehedgehog105]

It Sounds Like The 844 Almost

[@unalocomotoraconcuentadeyo5650]

that´s not the NC&Stl 576, that´s the Nickle Plate Road 765

[@PereMarquette1223]

They are talking about the whistle being blown on the locomotive captain obvious.

[@NashvilleSteam]

All of the details are in the description.

[@unalocomotoraconcuentadeyo5650]

sorry, my bad btw good video

[@mratsfrailfan1894]

yes 576 yet another 4-8-4 being restored:)

[@tankthehedgehog105]

Wow

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

Southern pacific 4449 whistle high pitched

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

This whistle sounds like a cross between the SP&S 700 and the SP 4449.

[@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions]

More like a SP&S #700 & pre-2011 UP #844. They did hook up a steam generator to the whistle roughly a half-year before they moved the #576 and it sounded almost exactly like #844 did before her whistle was replaced after returning from her tour in Arizona in 2011. That -5 psi certainly makes a difference. #765 runs at 245 psi while #576 runs at 250 psi. But #844 runs at 300 psi, which her original Hancock was built for.

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

@@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions For sure!

[@transportationproductions1794]

NKP 765 did perform very well with a borrowed whistle.

[@ToritheGSMR1702-mz3rc]

Will 576 have this whistle once it is running again?

[@tylergreen4843]

I would love to hear this on c&o 2716 dressed as L&N 1992

wait thats the 765 not 576

No, that’s 576’s whistle on 765.

Any steam whistle including this one is better than the bullshit of horns on diesel trains. It puts diesels to shame

I should oviously guess, that Nashville is the only place that has a stinky steamy, that engine retired a long time ago, how did it return to the Nashville Railway?🤔 Stinky Steamies are no good at all, this entire railway doesn't need them it needs Diesels, STINKY STEAMIES ARE NO GOOD!!!😈😈
