Southern 154: Spring on the Rambler

[@Chris9017]

What a beautiful engine!!! That whistle also sounds amazing on her along with that bronze bell. :)

[@burtgummer463]

Absolutely love it!

[@vincentberkan605]

What kind of whistle is on her?

[@cwhuffman01]

It’s actually a Southern Ry 5 chime owned by the chief engineer/general manager of the railroad. I’ve seen it up close and personal.

What did you use to film this? The quality is great!

Sorry, I got in your shot at Riverside

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

+Christian Holbert You were there first, it was entirely my fault. I had just assumed you would move further back once the train got closer, and I should have asked you what your plan was or chosen a different shot.

[@christianholbert6228]

+SmokyMtnSteam well ok. I felt bad for getting in your shot. Thanks, amazing video, do you live near Knoxville?

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Like I said, it was completely my own fault. I live in south Knoxville, although in the fall and spring I'm attending college way up in Johnson City.

+SmokyMtnSteam Nice, I live in Powell, Tennessee,; outside Knoxville

Oh! I guess you are aware of the model railroad museum on ETSU's campus.
