I wish they could have restored the 6 chime whistle but after so many years of hard use it started to wear down, don’t get me wrong the 3 chime Hancock whistle sounds phenomenal and every year after thanksgiving day to December 18th or so, during the polar express rides I hear that 3 chime SP4449 whistle from my house in Portland Oregon, it puts a smile of my face when I hear that roaring whistle that echoes, What a magnificent majestic steamer she is.

[@VonVitto]

if 4449 still had it's 6 chime whistle with him he would still sound good I mean don't get me wrong the Hancock 3 chime like @per-michaeljamburg said it sounds phenomenal I just wish they had kept the 6 chime with it😔

[@hoscalemadness]

​@@VonVittoThe whistle was stolen. If it wasn't, the 4449 would still have it. As of now, it was found, restored, and put on ATSF 2926. It will most likely be used on 4449 when it runs next.

[@TheCobraCommander]

@@hoscalemadness IF it runs next. Amtrak's not supporting steam excursions as of at least 7 years ago, and 4449's no longer hauling the Holiday Express because of its immense size and weight over the trackage that's often used for those trains. As of now the best ORHF could possibly do is steam her up on occasion and offer short rides within the ORHF grounds. Not to mention that currently, her water tender is being used by Canadian Pacific 2816 in conjunction with her own.

For all of you who don't know the horn is a Leslie A-200 which all GS-4's had if fog comes or if people don't hear the steam whistle. Personally the A-200 is most fitting on the GG1's which were electric locos built from 1934-1941.

You may have heard this from others, but as a 4449 nerd, I can’t help it. Would’ve commented it in one of the previous 500 times I rewatched it, but I was caught up in the whistles - how could one not be? Just wanted to say that the Northern Pacific Chime (third whistle in this video) was actually used from 1990-2009, and that the third clip you gave for the "NP Chime" (also the third clip of "SP 4449 Wishram Trips w/ Amtk #156") was actually taken in 2011 after the SP Chime (2010-2012) began to croak and squeak continuously, and even when it didn’t, still had a higher and rougher tone. The three clips that followed are of the same whistle, just days before its condition severely worsened. Nonetheless, this video is absolutely amazing and I truly love each and every scene in it! Well done!

[@southernpacificproductions530]

I can't blame you, Im a big 4449 nerd myself. I made the video to showcase all the whistle she's worn throughout her excursion career. You can defiantly hear the squeaks and rough sound of the whistle during her 2011 trips. I suggest you watch the videos in their entirety (link in description)
