Well happy to hear that you told us about your dad who is blowing 611

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

As beautiful as the J is, her hooter can't hold a candle to God's own whistle on the 90, the Reading 6-chime.

[@JasonSchaedlerVideos]

Well 611 doesn't have a hooter. 475 typically wears a Norfolk and Western hooter, or single chime as it's also called. 611 wears a Hancock 3 chime long bell, not too different from 844's actually

[@blackpanther1013]

@@JasonSchaedlerVideos sooner or later 611 needs to get a hooter whistle to wear every now and then because it would sound nice and because hooter are what makes Norfolk and western famous especially if its 1218s

[@JasonSchaedlerVideos]

@@blackpanther1013 they might have used a hooter on a J class in a few situations, but the J classes primarily only wore Hancock 3 chime long bells, as is being used. It would be interesting to hear 611 with a hooter though

[@blackpanther1013]

@@JasonSchaedlerVideos okay I like the Hancock tho it would just be nice to switch the whistle out every now and then like what Strasburg does with 89 and 475

Add in 4014

[@dannydorito9815]

Sarah Cangelosi 4014 wouldn’t fit on the Strasburg railroad. He’s too long. And WAY to big for the water capacity at strasburg. Also he runs on oil, all the strasburg engines are coal fired, so he couldn’t even run there due to a lack of oil.

[@matthewpastrikos7383]

@@dannydorito9815 Hmm... you know, NKP 765 is also coal fired, so there is a possibility that it can go to Strasburg to meet up with N&W 611 so they can doublehead once again like in 1983.

[@SebastianMammoth]

90: ring your bell. 611: I don't even have a bell. * 90 and 611 blow their whistles.

[@dannydorito9815]

611 has a bell. It’s an air ringer and it’s on the front left of the locomotive in front of the driving wheels of the locomotive.

[@terrier_productions]

I love the N&W J Class (I’ve just bought a Bachmann one) but I’m sorry but 611’s hooter sounds like she’s having a fart! I’m from the UK so I’m used to hearing the Stanier Hooter which were common on locomotives designed by Sir William Stanier such as the Black Five

[@use2cz5lq]

90s whistle at the end was like shut up

[@PRR3750Railfan]

I don't think 90 really wanted to have a whistle battle, because 611 kept blowing her whistle, and 90 only blew her whistle 2 times, one angry sounding blow at the end of the video.

[@jsa-z1722]

Anyone know why 611’s horn has such a sad sound compared to other steam locos?
