"The Heber Creeper" Scenic Photo Freight of HVRR locomotive

[@craiglacey9827]

Great footage and editing, Gib! 618’s regular “baby whistle” had problems with its steam valve, so it wore two others”foreign” whistles during this photo-freight outing.

Many thanks Craig! People love those whistles! At the end of this video does it sound like the whistles they use at Promontory? Exciting to see so many people enjoying the Heber Valley Railroad.

The “hooter” whistle at the end of the video belongs to Mike Manwiller. I believe it is a Norfolk & Western whistle, typically used on N&W freight engines.

Wonderful video of Union Pacific 618 back in 2008.

[@JacobHofeldt-fq6ii]

I love that Northern Pacific wood boxcar!

Gets better with age. I found these for you. imgur.com/a/NcwnhC1

A quite note, this is not the whistle from 75. 75 has a Flat Top Hancock 3, while the whistle in this footage is a Steptop Hancock 3. Either way, this and all of the other new footage you've posted is wonderful, and I can't wait for more!

[@gib-berry]

Great info Love the input.

This is one amazing video! I really do appreciate the look of 618 when it was under the OSL. Very classy. Also, may I add my input for the deep tone whistle. From the looks of it, its Hancock Step-Top Long Bell 3 Chime, it almost sounds to me it could've come off of one of Union Pacific's Big Boy or even a challenger. Either way, it sounds wonderful! Do we have any extra information on Mr. Manwiller's whistle collection??

[@gib-berry]

Great input so appreciated. He may chime in, probably has some very interesting bells and whistles. I am comparing 618 (1068) at 1:00 in this video to #75 on the same curve on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppvNkIaVbdWXn5o and they do sound different but perhaps same intonation like a D and B flat? How can anyone tell for sure?

[@chasingtrains7827]

Nice Video, I sure wish they would put #618 back together.

[@gib-berry]

Many thanks! Until then, we have this and I shot 618's last run...

I love the input just not sure what this means. How about this Drive By from 618 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6eVqoeIl5x1oLs

One of the worst looks for 618 I prefer the middle light to be in the middle of the smokebox

[@gib-berry]

Definitely an upgrade from the 1068 era. 618 isn't currently operational and the light doesn't work at all but she has a history of bouncing back with lights, bells and whistles and all. Plus with the conversion to oil, less of a pyro.
