Wilmington & Western: Fathers Day Specials June 17 2018

[@jdgfilms9595]

Well tell your dad he's got a very gorgeous sounding and very rare whistle!! Sounds amazing!!

[@EngineerDaylight]

So this is What An RF&P 6 Sounds like! GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL

[@ScarpawMutt]

Yes indeed! One of my favorite types of six chime besides Reading, GTW and SP.

[@T128Productions]

I didn’t even know the RF&P used this kind of whistle!

[@drpeerless1]

@T128Productions it was the only one, apparently. Most of the 600 class 4-8-4's had Hancock longbells. The 618 was the only one with a 6 chime as far as we know.

[@ToothlessThedragon9]

@@drpeerless1 Can your father put the 6 chime on C&O 1309 when she is ready?

[@s197_carti]

One of the best whistles I’ve ever heard. Wow I’m amazed. Great work and video! I’m sure Andy Muller would want it on his Blue Pacific. Wouldn’t hurt to ask him.

[@olgamakarova5520]

Delighted Thanks ❤

[@trainern8]

Wow! What an incredible whistle! Great video!

[@drpeerless1]

trainern8 thanks!

[@brianfalzon6739]

Very nice! You should put that whistle on Strasburg 31 or 89 for future photo charters!

[@TrainLab]

WOAH, awesome catches!!! :D Very NICE video! Enjoyed it!

[@BrodieProductions412]

Dang that whistle. You should have the RBMN Put it on 425 For Fall Foliage Weekend

[@drpeerless1]

Ethan Trainz Productions it would be nice lol I like to be invited tho. It'll be up to them if they want to use it. Haha

[@BrodieProductions412]

Ok. I’m going on the 14th of October to See 425. I got LGSR on June 24th, Mountain Top On September 22nd, and Fall Foliage October 14th, October 20th Is An Extra Day.

[@drpeerless1]

Ethan Trainz Productions See you there

[@KeystoneRailProductions]

Very nice! You got some good shots and sounds with that great 6 chime!

[@drpeerless1]

Eastern PA Railfanner611 thanks I appreciate the kind words!

[@B-LineRailfan]

Really nice video. I rode the 230p trip and saw a guy with a beard at multiple locations - guessing that would be you.

[@drpeerless1]

B-Line Railfan that was me for sure lol

[@jasonfeldman7497]

Do you think you'll ever bring the whistle back to the W&W again?

[@drpeerless1]

Who knows what the future holds. Lol

[@jefftherailroadenthusiast8889]

I wish #58 could always wear that whistle instead of the original whistle that's currently on it.

[@ToothlessThedragon9]

This should fit on 1309

[@razgrizaceblaze259]

That is a truly beautiful whistle. Do you think you'd let any other steam locomotive use that whistle (like R&N #425 or #2102, B&M #3713, or Pere Marquette #1225)? I'm just curious. I would love to hear that whistle blown from a bigger locomotive.

[@drpeerless1]

razgrizaceblaze259 sure I would. I just like to be invited to do such things lol

[@brianhoward3947]

That would sound great on NKP 765 for the steam in the valley, in September. Sounds awesome!

[@ToothlessThedragon9]

@@drpeerless1 Try that on 1309

[@ToothlessThedragon9]

Also B&M 3713 is not restored yet she will soon

[@olgamakarova5520]

They do not make them like this anymore

[@taylorsmith4758]

I rode this as a kid some 25 years ago. At the time, they did a fake cowboy train robbery with actors and cap guns. It was a lot of fun, but other kids were scared as crap, haha. I'm sure that program has been shelved
