That whistle sounds perfect

Wow! What a whistle!

Do we know what the latest is with the damaged pier(s) of this bridge that were identified back in 2015. Hate to think that the weight of the Garrett, which is not a common site these days, caused a catastrophe.
Great views of her crossing and of the piers of the old bridge.

The whistle reminds me of the Big Boy, and so does the ridiculously large cloud of smoke!

The whistle sounds different isn’t it a higher pitch?

It sounds different

[@janinapalmer8368]

That's a much better whistle .... the original sounded as if it had been taken from Thomas the tank engine or Tootle lol 😂!

[@ChopperV-8807]

It's kinda odd hearing an American style hooter being used on a 60 class. But it sounds cool

[@NALWTrainz]

That's a 3 Chime whistle. We only use single Chimes on freight engines here in the states.

Great, thanks! May I ask to the origin of the whistle? Sounds very N&W J class!

[@NALWTrainz]

It's from a union pacific 4000 class
