Steam locomotives and boats (not just steamboats) as well as diesel locomotives are some of the few human-made machines that sound like they have a soul. If you didn’t know better, you’d probably think they are alive, and not just based on the sounds they make but also the incredible amount of heat they give off.
They need to breathe, eat, and drink water. They move, are warm to the touch, and their roar is heard for miles. They pant when they work hard, and breathe easy when the gradient is with them. That all sounds like stuff that lives to me.
@@CameronGorski-zh9ld I mean, if we still used steam power to transport goods, that would just mean us releasing more carbon stored in the earth for millions or hundreds of millions of years back into the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect and heating up our planet more than we already do, so pick your poison.
@Albentastic Productions Imagine if 1218 was running on Strasburg tracks if it got restored again, it would be cool and creepy to hear a forgotten beast at dusk
And in comparison to some battleships, like Iowa, engines are TINY. Even the largest, like Big Boy or the Soviet AA20, are only about 100 feet long. Iowa is 600. At LEAST.
18:55-19:38- THIS is where I wish to move to!!!!!! That little place on the right side of the tracks & as close to the crossing as possible. Family says that I'm NUTS!!! I LOVE steam locomotives & their sounds. Those sounds, especially the multi-chime whistles, can lull me to sleep! There are 2 railroad crossings of the Susquehanna (freight line only) Railroad within 2 blocks of my present home, but NO steam engines!! I was born in '58 & steam was already replaced by diesels here in northern NJ- I believe in '56, so I missed out on the chuff &, of course, the beautiful whistles!
@@MPT_Productions My Dad lived just a block from the NYC Niagara Branch in the 1930's. He said he got so he knew not only when certain engines came thru by the whistle, but also certain Engineers.
I live in Washington State, and there's a part of the eastern cascades where I didn't even know there was a railroad. Creepy as hell just hearing a diesel locomotive.
Something about a steam locomotive, a steam whistle, and that chugging coming from the distance... Eerie, yet satisfying. And along with that heavy bell and billowing smoke stacks...
At 29:08, the fireman is operating the blowdown to vent sediments and possibly overly high water from the boiler...short giant whoosing sounds. What loco and whistle? The engine never becomes visible. And the whistle's a nice one, apparently a 5 chime. Thanks!
I Love the Durango and Silverton trains near the end of the video. especially the shot where its blowing all of its steam off and you can hear the distant CUUSHHHHHHHHHH.......... CUSHHHHHHHHHHH
Sing for me Bertha. Sing for me. Loud and proud. Sing to me your rhythmic huff chuff huff chuff. Sing to me your melodic whistle. Show your new kin what a real beauty is. I don’t know what it is about these old girls. They just have a beauty to them that the new ones could never hold. The new ones just have a low rumble to them and an ear shattering horn. Other than the wheels, there isn’t anything moving to captivate you. And they are all so bland. They all look the same, aside from the paint scheme for each railroad they operate for. I love hearing that huff chuff huff chuff, The chug chug chug chug, Or the chuga luga chuga luga, of the old ones. To be mesmerized by the pistons and all of the mechanical workings of a steam locomotive.
@MPT_Productions I've always liked steam trains more to the point steam engines. I've always been fasinated by them. but I know that there just basically a gaint steam kettle on wheels but to me the inner workings is what really gets me.
Hopefully Volume 2 will be coming out soon! Featuring WM 1309, Reading 2100, R&N 2102, SP 4449, UP 844, US Sugar 148, EBT steamers once back in operation, and many others!
Jason Feldman Very well could be a replica. Doesn’t look or sound like an authentic one, but could be a replica. Not sure. Next time I’m there I’ll have to ask
I'd say a good percentage of the states in the US have at least one operating steam locomotive. You can probably find one in your region if you look one up online
@@MPT_Productions thanks and if you love these old trains look up some books about the Calif Zephyr by Janet Dawson she wrote a series of mysteries on board them solved by a Zepheritte
@@Thomasboi01 as long as you just keep it for personal reasons and don’t distribute it to anyone or claim it’s yours I don’t see an issue. If you do use it for something please just credit me and link the video

113 was lovely. Hearing that deep whistle while the mean chuffing is music
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed.
That is the sound of these old trains singing an old time song. A song of their own.
Tofsrud Cubing 2007 thats right
They’re so loud too and meaningful
The mere memories of these old gals still sharing their beautiful voices in echoes of steam
Truly the best form of music there is!
I gotta say: steam whistles are cool during the day, but when you hear it at around 3 am it is one of the scariest things ever.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
There's nothing quite like a steam whistle piercing and echoing through the stillness and calm of the night air.
It's like the haunting cry of some great beast. Imagine if you had never heard one before.
3:53 to 4:09 is pure cinema. Absolutely stunning!
Killian Whitelock thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words!
@Albentastic Productions Imagine if 1218 was running on Strasburg tracks if it got restored again, it would be cool and creepy to hear a forgotten beast at dusk
The whistle which starts at 16:00 is definitely my favorite in this video.
Dodge Dude 06 yea, it’s pretty good.
@@MPT_Productions great video btw!
Dodge Dude 06 thank you!
@@MPT_Productions np
29:49 woooow that one sounds absolutely wonderful.
One of my favorites as well
gotta love the 482
We rode that train July 4th, spectacular view. Nice and cool, with afternoon light rain.
11:27 really shows how big these things are
you got that right
a lot of people don't realize just how tall ~16 feet is until they see it from a perspective like that
And in comparison to some battleships, like Iowa, engines are TINY. Even the largest, like Big Boy or the Soviet AA20, are only about 100 feet long. Iowa is 600. At LEAST.
Standard gauge is big
The train whistle left a strong impression on my childhood. from Vietnam thank you and support you
Favorite part was from 0:00 to 30:52
Thank you! I appreciate that!

I live 50ft in front of a diesel electric railway. Not the same as steam, but man is it awesome.
Every single day it is the opening of the polar express for them I bet
Reading 6 chime is still a favorite. Would have been great back in the day to listen to Reading Pacifics passing in the night w/those whistles!
It would be. 90’s whistle in particular was used on 2100 during the rambles
NKP 765s whistle sounds cooler when it's worn out, weird to say 🎶
Wolff von Roos it’s not worn out... just tuned different. I agree, it sounded better this year.

Think it was foaming,the cylinder clocks opening up was a good indication.
@@pauljones2762 Which engine and where on the vid time coded?
I could listen to these steam whistles all day. Thank you for sharing.
Gfw Trains we all could. Thank you
Imagine being in forest and not knowing that there's a live train track and then suddenly you hear the sound at 7:08
I live in Washington State, and there's a part of the eastern cascades where I didn't even know there was a railroad. Creepy as hell just hearing a diesel locomotive.
Those Norfolk shots were the best ones i’ve ever seen, what a beauty.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
25:13 489 has the best whistle
Ford Lover it is a very good whistle
MPT 1225 yep. That Atsf 6 chime just has a deep manly sound to it lol
Ford Lover agreed. Sounds awesome
90’s whistle sounds great as usual. Great comp!
ALW Productions yup I think so too. Thank you!
I’m in Florida.
Also, amazing video as always, Markinator.
Thank you!
MPT 1225 no problem!
You're probably close to US Sugar 148 & soon ACL 1504, which will hopefully be restored soon.
Steam locomotive are one of the best locomotives ever built and they still is to this day. I'm a big big fan of steam locomotives.
Indeed they are
They are powerful too, and it’s hard to ignore their pulling power, despite being expensive to maintain in todays world
Your framework is amazing, some of these shots make me feel like I've transported back in time.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Nice
Everyone: Steam whistles are so loud!
Me: *listens to them to help me sleep*
I listen to them while studying lol.
@@MPT_Productions Awesome!
Steam whistles are 100-120dB loud possible for a ruptured eardrum.
Wow, that is such a wonderful sound.
Indeed they are.
These trains never get old💀 so satisfying
the last 2 engines in this video is something to listen love the horn on the 484.
me too
Great video. They are great steam locomotive whistles.
Thank you! I agree.
2:52 is perfect. the echo, that whistle is just awesome
It is a very nice whistle.
1000% It’s absolutely perfect. It’s definitely my favorite one on here. 2:53. I’d love to know the specific brand/model
Not a foamer but the sound of a steam whistle always excites me.
Wow these steam engine whistles are so awesome great video!
USS45RailFanProductions Thank you!!
Can't believe I just found this video, it is so stunning how you capture the whole essence of steam trains! My favorite moments are 0:00 to 30:52!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed!
The sound at 2:30 IS GORGEOUS! HOW CAN I HEAR MORE???😊
Music to my ears the sounds of steam whistles echoing. The call of the steam engine.
Yep!
Durango and Silverton 473 wears a Rio Grande 3-chime whistle.
Jason Feldman yes you are right. Typo on my part. Thanks for the correction
actually according to the D&S themselves 473 has a custom made three chime
Michael Prince which is a D&RGW 3 Chime
At 29:08, the fireman is operating the blowdown to vent sediments and possibly overly high water from the boiler...short giant whoosing sounds. What loco and whistle? The engine never becomes visible. And the whistle's a nice one, apparently a 5 chime. Thanks!
Engine is visible on the right side of the frame. Durango & Silverton 486 with a D&RGW 5 Chime. Very nice whistle indeed

My favorite whistle is the 611's and I hope to see it run on the mainline again because Mr. Know all about trains stopped her from running.
Chris Davis it is a favorite of mine too. I really hope it runs mainline trips again as well.

I like this 👌🤠
Glad you enjoyed!
Does anyone have information about Durango SIlverton 473's whistle? the DRGW three chime
Correct. It’s a D&RGW 3 Chime
482’s Powell 3 Chime is an instant nut
It does not have the smoothest sound you'd expect from a Powell. Would've expected a little nicer sound.
It sounds a little worn to me
This and the spitfire Merlin o man
Nice Compilation! I thought 11 had a Nathan 5 Chime tho
Thanks Joe! I was guessing. It doesn't sound like other Nathan 5 Chimes I've heard, but I'm not sure.
I believe 11's whistle is a D&RGW 5-chime.
