Well, it's great to hear the 610 again. For those of us who worked on and followed her during the 1970's it's pure music to the ears. What a shame she slipped by before the digital video era. It's nice seeing the last operating Pershing 2-8-0 painted in a respectable and original paint scheme rather than circus Red! Thanks TSR!
Quite a surprise to see and hear T&P 610's whistle again after nearly 4 decades since it was last blown And I think it's obvious T&P 610 possibly won't be returning to service in the future or run again
Well actually I asked the folks that own the 610 if she would and they said “she can easily handle the curves but it doesn’t make financial sense to restore the engine.”
True. It’s too big and heavy the TSR’s infrastructure. You’d need to find an owner who’s infrastructure can handle 610’s size and weight. But you also need a shipload of cash given 610’s size and wear and tear it can leave.
T&P 610 whistle sounds every nice for something would be on a 2-10-4 Texas type steam engine sounds good. Love it. I've seen pic of engine. Never really knew what it sound like there's a video of the engine when i came home at the end i heard the whistle but not the best sound from the video now. I hear it sounds great
Great video man I love that whistle. Quick question where did the train start from Rusk or Palestine? It’s kinda hard to tell thanks for a great video.
@@PereMarquette1223 Personally, I think the whistle is being underblown. The T&P I-1a class had a boiler pressure of 255 psi, but #28 runs at a boiler pressure of 190 psi (65 psi lower). That might explain the difference in sound.
@@PereMarquette1223 Out of curiosity, what difference does that make in regards to the difference in boiler pressure between T&P #610 & SPLCo. #28? [I'm not trying to be mean. I'm genuinely curious.]
So THATS what the 610’s whistle ACTUALLY sounds like. I LOVE IT!!!
I wish Steve Lerro could add the T&P #610 to the K&L roster.
Maybe someday he will

610’s whistle could use some refurbishment to get rid of anything causing whistle squeaks
Reminds me of the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad chime whistle Southern Pacific 786 wore one time, both it and 610's whistle squeal

Definitely a little different but I like it.
The poor thing needs a rebuild. Rizzoli whistleworks.
Bill Purdy himself would be proud
26:26 I love this part
610’s whistle needs to be tuned! Easy to do
Reminds me of Bill Purdie assaulting Austell in 78
I've always loved that shrill the 610's whistle has
Me too!
The whistle that’s on 28 sounds like 734s back in the day
I don't recall 734 ever wearing a whistle that sounded like T&P 610
he means they are both Hancock long bell 3 chimes
And that 734 squeaked when the whistle was blown
What was the reasoning of the train stopping in Maydell?
I don’t remember exactly. But they had a few problems that day!
Is that a hancock 3 chime whistle?
Great video man I love that whistle. Quick question where did the train start from Rusk or Palestine? It’s kinda hard to tell thanks for a great video.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! The video started in Palestine.
Aaron McCreight Knew it! lol
I hate to say this but that whistle sounds really bad. It was not what I expected it to sound like. All in all I love the video.
Hahaha everybody has a different ear. And thank you!
I believe the whistle is also being a tad overblown as well.

razgrizaceblaze259 the whistle was rebuilt shortly after this video.

3:24 Wheel slip?
Blow down
I have a plan to restore the 610. But i cant do it alone. Please spread the word
I hope so. Its actually working so far
Yes. I’ve already planned on where Iplan on setting up the shops.
That would be awesome to see 610 thundering down the line again!
My advice is never give up Hope or your Dreams.
