Thanks for this. I always find it interesting how the old engineers beat those locomotives so rapidly up to speed, as opposed to the gentler manner the preserved engines are operated. But it was an everyday job back then, with schedules to keep.
Erik I am glad you like it.. I have been a recorder, collector and producer of authentic railroad sound for some 50 years. www.vintagerailroadaudio.com
Thanks you.. I have been recording, collecting and programming authentic railroad sound for more than 50 years.. see my website vintagerailroadaudio.com
What a wonderful sounding whistle. I love the tone of it. Never heard a whistle like it before, what's the make, model, and number of chimes? The closest thing I can think of is a Hancock Longbell 3 Chime, but it doesn't really sound like a Hancock.
I have no idea of the specifics of the whistle.. We always simply called them D&H "Steamboat" whistles.. In my memory all the D&H Challengers and K62 Northerns I ever saw in service had the same or similar whistles.
@@jaywinn481 oh, okay. Must have been shop built, I suppose. Do you happen to have any Milwaukee Road audio? I'm looking for audio of the Milwaukee Road F7 Baltic steam locomotives, they're my favourite locomotives.
One of my favorite things on UA-cam. Quick question...I love the idea of these 4-8-4's being called Laurentians, but I'm having difficulty finding evidence of that in historical records/railroad books, even those that specifically document the D&H. If you see this comment, could you point me in the right direction?
I have been a D&H fan for many decades now and personally knew many of both the management and operating personnel and the 4-8-4 s were always referred to as the "K"s or Laurentians. I believe Jim Shaughnessy refers to them as such in his D&H book
No.. This is the sound of a real D&H Northern #308 recorded in 1952. 2102 was a Reading Northern made up to look like D&H #302 for the D&H Sesquicentennial

I like it. I was curious to know what a D&H whistle sounds like . Now i do lol . And she had a good bark.

@@jaywinn481 I just got his book, but didn't find anything. I'll check again, thanks for the info! D&H forever ✌️
Is this 2102?
