for those curios as to what happened to 4501's old whistle (Princeton 3 Chime) im pretty sure TVRM dropped it and broke it in the meantime until and if they can get it fixed it will wear Southern 630's old whistle (VS&W 3 Chime)
I must say I do not know how this rumour started, but it was simply swapped out for night time running. Southern (and other roads) used long bell whistles to be less jarring. 4501’s Princeton is the exact opposite. A family brought a PS4 whistle so the linkage and valve were changes, and then the V&SW was put on for night time running with the Evening Ridge Runner. 4501 wore this whistle in the 1990s, and is no stranger to long bells having worn one in the 1960s, and off and on in the 1970s.
@@jacobwoods8738 I was thrilled to hear this "new" voice. I've never cared for the Princeton. I was on the doubleheader last month, but booked another trip when I found out I could listen to that new whistle all day.....
Another great Ravenhawk 6910 video. You are making me miss the TVRM with this video. Nice 4501 steam locomotive action
Thanks Shawn! Glad you liked it.
@@ravenhawk6910did you see me at the cemetery I was down the tracks past the Atlantic coast line tender
Nice Train Catches
Thank you!
You're Welcome
Sure looks like a fun day!
It was! It's always fun chasing the trains on the old Central of Georgia
Classic Southern Engines!
Indeed!
Looks like you and Zachary definitely had a fun filled day of chasing. I like the echo of the whistle off in the distance.
Thanks Mike. Yes we had a blast.

Did 4501 get a new whistle or is it the same whistle it’s always had because it sounds different than I remember.
It does indeed have a new whistle on it.
It’s the good ole V&SW 3 chime. While I don’t love this whistle, I’ll admit that it sounds very decent on 4501.
Nice video (not much fond of the new whistle on 4501 i prefer the other one a lot more). But still great chase
Yeah I don't like the new whistle either. It's good but it's belongs on 610
Amen to that!
