Cass Scenic Railroad: A Geared Steam Extravaganza (Parade of Steam 2022)

[@andyconnrock]

That mockingbird hooter TOTALLY caught me off guard. I was like "WOAH! thats a heck of a squeak!" but then it went up like 3 octaves and I was like "HEY! OK I'm awake now!

[@SteamZRailfan]

It caught all of us off guard in person too. Scared some people even 😂😂

[@chrishinnant3924]

That's the first time I've ever heard of a mockingbird whistle. It had me cracking up laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@SteamZRailfan]

You should’ve seen the reaction other people at the event gave lol

Great Video!

[@SteamZRailfan]

Thank you!

[@chesapeakerailphotography]

Awesome video!

[@SteamZRailfan]

Thanks!

[@USSMaineBB-95]

I kept questioning how Shay 11's whistle sounded like that Then I read the description about the Mockingbird Whistle And honestly it’s very cool

[@SteamZRailfan]

It really is, so fascinating

[@jasonfeldman7497]

I wish I had been able to attend. Would have loved to have bid on that shop-built hooter.

[@SteamZRailfan]

It was an awesome event for sure

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Nice!

[@SteamZRailfan]

Thanks!

[@TheClinchfieldRailfan]

The lunkenheimer on 11 hurts me..

[@SteamZRailfan]

It’s a one of a kind, especially for a hooter

[@alexfarrell5533]

23:30 wait why is 9 wearing a hooter whistle now?

[@SteamZRailfan]

It was a custom built hooter they were raffling off, it wore it so people could hear it

[@therusticcollectionebaysto7028]

New sub! Liked 🙏✌️👍

[@SteamZRailfan]

Thanks!

[@atlantis0v-104]

What happened to big 6?

[@SteamZRailfan]

It’s in a rebuild

[@蕭秋義]

蒸汽火車的笛音很好聽 很棒

[@SteamZRailfan]

Thank you!

[@zephyr_bet_1522]

Nice! What kind of hooter is on Shay 11?

[@SteamZRailfan]

Thanks! That is a lunkenheimer mockingbird slide-valve hooter, the fireman can adjust the tuning while it’s being blown by pulling a separate cord.

[@zephyr_bet_1522]

Ah I see, and you’re welcome.

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

You can tell he was really having fun with that thing.

[@sammoyers905]

I have ridden behind all but the Climax, and ridden in the cab of Shay #4 and Heisler #6. Brings back memories of my childhood in the 70's. ❤❤ Two questions: First, is that the Climax that burnt up when the old shop burned down? Second, Where is Western Maryland #6? My Dad helped move her to Cass from the Baltimore Railroad Museum, and she has a special place in my memories.

[@SteamZRailfan]

That’s awesome! I’m not sure if that is the climax that burned as I’m not too well versed in Cass’s history. WM 6 is about to come out of a rebuild in 2023. It’s been down since 2019. Reason it took so long is a lack of workers to work on it.

[@sammoyers905]

@@SteamZRailfan That is great to hear. I am going to get my family back up there this year, as a kind of memorial to my Dad, who past in 2021. It would not be the same without WM6 running.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Why does it sound like Shay number 11's whistle is a steam siren lol 😆

[@RailfanLoy]

It’s a mockingbird whistle the fireman can change the pitch of the bell

[@SteamZRailfan]

What he said. It’s a one of a kind whistle and one I absolutely love.

[@RailfanLoy]

@@SteamZRailfan I found a video of how it works

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@RailfanLoy how interesting I didn't know a whistle like that existed pretty cool

[@brianfalzon6739]

Wow, now that’s something that you won’t see or hear everyday!
