Strasburg Railroad: Three Chimed Surprise!

[@charlesdell2864]

Thank you so very much for the close up of the train coulpling up first time I saw how it was done

[@drfunk411]

This whistle, the hooter and....im not sure what the other one is. Your a lucky man being able to see all this steam. Foam from the mouth forever you will.

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

The whistle it has in this video sounds better then the whistle it has today in 2020 the whistle in this needs to be back

[@Engineer5344]

wow this is a rare treat, 475 with out her hooter. i love it!!!!!!!!!

[@brianfalzon92]

That 3 chime whistle does sound great on 475!

[@Midland1072Productions]

I always liked the 3 chime whistle

[@Landaux]

Beautiful country.

[@murjax]

Great video. 5 stars!

[@EasternRailfanProductions]

Nice job CSX6000! Lovin that whistle!

[@PRR4000]

Nice shots of #475! Wish we could hear this whistle on #475 more often than any of her other N&W Hooters.

[@Kylestrains93]

😂tttty

[@csgptg]

#475 should keep that whistle if u ask me.

[@SeaboardStudios]

csgptg agreed

[@Midland1072Productions]

i always love a 3 chime whistle i think its my favorite.

[@chevelleguy3]

fantastic video, that is a good sounding whistle!

[@joneau261]

The 433 is on the Virginia Creeper Bike Trail. Not somewhere it could be moved for restoration. Then you got the three rusted 4-8-0 in Roanoke, but that's something else altogether

[@GTRailroadVideos]

Very Nice Indeed! 5*****!

[@SouthernMaineFoamer]

This is only 1 of 4 videos of 475 with her shop built 3 chime sounding like this besides 382 in the 2010s. The rest are slightly higher pitched including 382 events from 2017

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Mastodon, the 4-8-0s are called Mastodons or Twelve Wheelers.

[@Strasburg1991]

i like 90 with the 6 chime but it sounds more of a business whistle like 614 working for amtrak

[@brianfalzon6739]

I agree

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

475 is a 4-8-0 Mastadon

[@Engineer5344]

yes i have her heard her hooter before. but im not trying to start any bad blood. it just shocked me to see her wearing a 3 chimer for a change, thats all.

[@fuscoproductions]

It looks like they're running 2-trains in October, eh? It's been a while since they've done that!

[@Strasburg1991]

i think 90 should wear that homemade 3 chime

[@jordant7935]

FYI: She'll be wearing another 3 chime starting tomorrow….LIRR #39's :)

[@TommyBNSF]

This sounds so much better than the whistle 475 usually has! Engine 90 still sounds good too.

[@erikthetrainmaster6112]

I disagree with the whistle choice for 475. I personally like the Hooters. But I do like this whistle.

[@Strasburg1991]

no its at the virginia creeper rr in arlington

[@TheGalligan]

the 475 is a 4-8-0 N&W class

[@dwkcamman611]

EXCELLENT!!!

[@fretdemon123]

#382 is #475 with different whistle,funnel paint,smokebox number,cab number,mabye the plow.

[@PennRailVideos]

#475 is the only operating 4-8-0 in North America.

[@ThatYankeeKid]

There's probably many reasons that they don't mainly the fact that both the engines and cars have friction bearings. The heavy traffic on the Amtrak main doesn't help either, especially since none of the SRR engines have much in the way of speed capability. It would be nice to get the 90 or the 475 out on the main for once, however.

[@Strasburg1991]

is that the strasburg homemade 3 chime

[@tachikoma747]

@MilwaukeeSDman Strasburg has run two trains since I've been visiting, over 20 years ago. The siding track has been there since the 1970s

[@PennRailVideos]

@Strasburgfanatic You, I never noticed that until you pointed that out. It's because of the switch circuit.

[@BRWFan]

the whistle is great

[@TravisDGordon]

Seems like #90 is the only one of Strasburg's 4 steamers that never gets to pull the Reading Business Car.

[@MPT_Productions]

Travis Gordon that’s because it’s always on the half hour Train and whenever 90 runs it’s the hourly Train

[@PennRailVideos]

No it's somewhere else in Virginia.

[@rosalynazana2752]

i saw the engine number 90

[@Midland1072Productions]

I like this whistle, but the one they have her know is nicer in my opinion.

[@ThatYankeeKid]

The only problem with that is that the 3751 can keep up with an Amtrak schedule and run at track speed. in addition, the 3751 (Ibelieve) has roller bearings, which is most likely an Amtrak requirement for excursion engines. If anything the SRR engines may be able to deadhead over Amtrak rails to a freight only line where their 40-50 mph top speed and friction bearings would not be an issue. Even that, however would take alot of work, with insurance and agreement between the railroads.

[@BNSFandSP]

@CSX6000 And the spring switch was closed.

[@nssteampunk4865]

Almost resembles a Pennsy whistle from either Altoona or Ashton Valve both used on PRR.

[@Strasburg1991]

i meant 90 should wear a 3 chime not the homemade one. she should wear a q2 3 chime

[@TheTrainman888]

I thought a 4-8-0 was a Mammoth type.

[@MilwaukeeSDman]

Hold on Wait a minute scince when does straburg run 2 trains!?! and when did they build a passing track

[@sidneywallace48]

Do they have a spring switch going in the hole at Cherry Hill? or did the crew on #475 just run the switch, because the points were sure enough against them when #475 started pulling on 'em and it sure looked to me like the switch was still open when they rolled through it.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Whistle reminds me of CN 1551

[@OwlEye2010]

I find it odd that #475 gets it's whistle switched out while #89 and #90 are left alone. Any real reason behind that that you know of?

[@shanemyoutubeshit]

OwlEye2010 89 has her whistle switched a lot!

[@MPT_Productions]

OwlEye2010 out of all the engines on the Railroad, 89 gets the whistle switched the most. 90 only had the whistle switched one time in 2013

[@KZ1993]

Anyone else notice he engine only did 3 long blasts instead of the traditional long-long-short-long fashion

[@rosalynazana2752]

i saw ihe engine 90

[@Strasburgfanatic]

That block signal couldn't make up its mind starting at 8:23.

[@steamgent4592]

Reminds me of a sickly sounding version of 7002's whistle

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

SteamGent agreed

[@fretdemon123]

she did. look up strasburg 90 pulls full load.

[@fretdemon123]

i can slightly her #90s whistle when #475 leves carpenders crossing at 2:00.

[@ThatYankeeKid]

Was this whistle designed to be a reproduction of any specific type of whistle, or was it just a one-off design?

[@joneau261]

Oh yeah, almost forgot: Abingdon, not Arlington

[@sktrjoe]

They should keep this whistle, its more relaxing instead of the squeak-squeak whistle it usually has.

[@rosalynazana2752]

i hear the whiste engine number 90

[@danielboone3770]

😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@fretdemon123]

who herd #90 at 1:03?

[@garfileddrip.7528]

Me

[@Redwagon2012]

1:03

[@Kayushi]

@SuperVideosgalore where

[@WRS71287]

Wish 475 would always wear that whistle ... sounds so much better than that annoying one she usually has

[@shanemyoutubeshit]

WRS71287 it's called a hooter whistle, and I totally agree it's super annoying

[@micaeltrainguyhayes7338]

sounds like k4 whistle

[@jordanriley4510]

THE Galaxy Railways 2

[@Clawzord2277]

that hooter sounds way better than this one.

[@thatoneguy611]

Not much of a surprise if you put in the title lol

[@jordanriley4510]

NEVER GiVE UP

[@cjholden8991]

Sounds close to a PRR 3 chime
