That whistle on Chesapeake and Ohio's Northern 614 suits perfect. If the 614 is ever going to be back on the tracks running excursions again, they also should use that whistle to. I'm sorry diesel fans, steam engines are much more popular to me. But, hopefully I'm not the only one.
I've spoken with my good friend Ross Rowland, (the man who owns 614) and he says that in 2024 to 2026 he plans to run the American Freedom Train 2.0 and he plans to have 614 run again. But he needs 10 corporate sponsors to give i believe 10 or 100 million dollars.
IIRC, the whistle was made specially from stainless steel for the Chessie Safety Express (Or was it for the American Bicentennial Freedom train? Don't remember now.) to match the chord tones of the K5LA air horn. Canadian whistle and horn expert Bob Swanson who invented the K5LA horn, was in charge. The whistle was personally paid for by Chessie's VP for safety.
For those who don't know, that train is the Music City Star, a passenger train running throughout Middle Tennessee. There's a station hardly a minute up the road from where the train came from, and I pass that Huskey facility every day on my way home from school. It's a very nice train, and the area around where this demonstration took place is actually quite nice.
I remember riding on an excursion pulled by 614 from Baltimore to Martinsburg back around 1983. A very enjoyable trip. I miss those rail excursions from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
I love how someone in the background said "Bye-bye car!"
At 2:31, 4449 blows its air horn instead of the steam whistle!
Good video. YT recommended it to me 13 years after you published it.
Great stuff!
614's whistle is high pitched

Fury of the F40PH of Star Teneseee
I wonder, was this 614's original whistle during service? It was changed during the Erie Limited runs in '96.
This whistle is a K5LA 5 Chime

4449 was a sole survivor of a GS-4 class.
I would buy this engine and restore it in the Greenbrier Presidential Express livery.
it was already restored in that livery in Clifton Forge VA
We're anybody killed?
Not really I mean they got out
I think that was a safety test
It wasn’t real. It was a safety demonstration.
@@paulspomer16 agree
HE JUST GOT NOCKED THE FUCK OUT
That wasn’t a small car
*STUPID* Apparently the dummies here did not know what would happen.
Shame on u who ever r laughing
It was a demonstration not real life

I love the 614 and I applaud your efforts but on youtube it is so terribly out of focus. Sure your originals are much clearer.
This video was literally an excerpt from a production by Mark I Video
You could have detailed the train
Why the SAFTEY express has a whistle that blows and 100% blocks the view of the engineer?
Reading this comment as Safety* express loads on Trainz.
stevelerro But the whistle is on the fireman's side...
AceofTrains0706 R&G 2:05 shows it blowing across the engineers side
Well, I guess it's not a huge problem for the engineer if they haven't re-postitioned the whistle.
stevelerro and yet you made a mega pack for 614
