my pap was one of the Lead designers of the Reading T-1 and i inherited T-1 2104's hooter that is now used on a steam tractor i help with and soon Steam loco!!!
That Reading whistle was standard on their T1 4-8-4's. Reading #2100 kept hers throughout her Rambles career. But 2124 used a 6 chime off of a Reading Pacific. Paired up, the whistle blowing betw the 2 was a treat to the ears.
Pssst! Wanna make a real spooky ghost train video? You do? Okay, here's how to do it. First off you need an editing software that provides for at least two video tracks(one main and one for overlaying video), this is important and you see why momentarily. Shooting your video you'll need a tripod for a good, stable shot. You'll need to be at your location at least 45 minutes before the train you're going to shoot is due to pass by. This will give you ample time to set your camera up on the tripod and pick a good position to shoot from. First, shoot about 10-15 minutes of the location without the train(you can trim this down later in the editing), now, when the train passes, shoot the video of its pass WITHOUT altering your zoom from when you shot the empty scene. Now you have your two shots, the editing process begins. Lay the video of the empty scene on Video Track 1 and play it to a point where you want your ghost train to appear. Pause here and lay the video with the train on the second video track. Here you'll need to adjust the opacity of the overlaid video, starting at 0%(invisible) then gradually building to around 50%(say, over 10 seconds) then staying at 50% during most, but not all the train's passing. Then, over another 10 seconds the opacity drops back to 0% giving the impression of the train slowly vanishing as the carriages pass by. The opacity variation can be achieved by setting key-frames. If your software has a key-frame facility, use it to set where the opacity levels vary from 0% to 50% and then back to 0% and now you have a ghost train!
Honestly, 142 never deserved such a crappy whistle which is the Reading Banshee. It’s better on the Reading T1’s! Not on 142. However, I liked the PRR 3 chime she wore! Great footage of the photo charter
I'd like to hear that T-1 Hooter up in the mountains at Cass! Talk about eerie!

The Pennsy at 2:09, that sound with the echo behind it, I'm in love!
I think its from a scrapped Atlantic or 4-4-0 American.

yeah did u see the engineer jumped for the throttle
great stuff
Should get a PRR 3 Chime like that for NH&I 40 and one for Strasburg 90!
That Looks Cool I've Seen One it Was A CSX Train
Would make some great ghost train movies.
Whoa, I had no idea that the 142 had a T-1 Hooter
at 4:17 her wheels slip
What do you mean by" IMO" ?
Len
she also carried BRW 60's original whistle
This whistle sounds like Reading #2102
imo 142 is one of the top 5 chinese imports
MAn the 142 has great stack talk!!! great video!!!
Very awesome video!!!! :-)
Awsome video!!
Nice High-Hooter. Also that pennsy whistle has a great tone too.

what kind of prr 3 chime whistle was that??
I think that Pennsy 3 Chime rings out the best!
They need to bring back the old whistles
dancesynergywv same bring back steam an era bygone
Also at 6:25 is that a Pennsy Banshee whistle??
Sounds more like a Reading single chime to me. The PRR Banshee's had a higher pitch.
its a Class 2100 Reading Freight Hooter
Western Marland sounds like Lehigh and New England. And Pennsy sounds like 4 inch crosby
Did someone Called The Pennsylvania Rail Road T-1
yeah
0:35 It's really a ghost?! Okay, it's not.
are. there. realy. ghosts?
in my opinion
