[@tanforce2564]

Another amazing video per usual!

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

Man, these clips are so good. Almost makes me feel like I was actually there.😉

[@timberlynrice]

No way me too! You don't think we're IN a Smoky Mtn Steam video do ya?

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

Now, what would ever give you that notion?

[@tanforce2564]

Hmmm that’s weird… 😂

[@TNRailProductions_01]

Fantastic work. Gotta love that weird whistle you can hear around 21:41 😂

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks! It sure has an odd sound don't it? lol

It has been MANY MANY YEARS since I've seen a red Southern Railroad Caboose. Back in the 70's, I would ALWAYS see these at rail crossing on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina near the Bi-Lo grocery store I used to work at. I would ALWAYS WAVE to the men in the caboose. More times than not, they'd wave back.😊😊😊😊

Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Happy steaming.

[@SantaFe19484]

I was totally on that train. You filmed in two of the same spots that I was standing at, but I didn't see myself. I recorded 630 and 4501 running light at Summerville and then Chattanooga at the very end of the trip. I was also in the photo line at Rock Springs on the other side of the track. If you remember anybody really tall with brown, slightly graying hair, that was me.

[@railfanningwithtydan]

21:38 was that you honking? 🤣 Awesome shots! Glad to see ya along that chase. The iPhone filming ain't shabby at all!! 💯

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks! And yes, that was me honking lol

[@Zaelon_James_Guillory]

Them two hang out together 😊😊😊😊

[@wyatttrainworld]

Very nice

[@jordonfreeman166]

That doesn’t sound like 01’s normal whistle. Sounds more like a Ps-4’s whistle.

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

It's a Virginia and Southwestern 3 chime. Similar to a Ps-4 whistle.

[@jordonfreeman166]

@@radforddivisionrailfan I could tell it was a three chime, however, when it comes to identifying whistles, that’s one of my weak points, unless it’s something like distinctive, like a hooter whistle.

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

Oh yeah, I understand. I've spent a lot of time learning about whistles. It's definitely come in handy for many conversations.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

Funny thing about the V&SW is that it’s basically a Ps-4 whistle modified to fit on a Nathan 6 chime bowl.

Pardon me boy is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo

[@MrSteelman335]

I'm glad to see that TVRM can go back to Georgia now. I had heard stories about there being a lawsuit involved but I wasn't sure about that.

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

No freight traffic goes over the bridge that connects them to the c&c so ns had no incentive to fix it. I’m not sure on the details of how they resolved the issue, I assume $$$$ was involved.

[@MatthewPoplawsk]

like The color of those old Southern Railroad cars, to me looks like Charleston Green.

[@angiecarnathan9524]

I know that the whistle was so loud. 💀💀
