@@VonVittoThe whistle was stolen. If it wasn't, the 4449 would still have it. As of now, it was found, restored, and put on ATSF 2926. It will most likely be used on 4449 when it runs next.
@@hoscalemadness IF it runs next. Amtrak's not supporting steam excursions as of at least 7 years ago, and 4449's no longer hauling the Holiday Express because of its immense size and weight over the trackage that's often used for those trains. As of now the best ORHF could possibly do is steam her up on occasion and offer short rides within the ORHF grounds. Not to mention that currently, her water tender is being used by Canadian Pacific 2816 in conjunction with her own.
For all of you who don't know the horn is a Leslie A-200 which all GS-4's had if fog comes or if people don't hear the steam whistle. Personally the A-200 is most fitting on the GG1's which were electric locos built from 1934-1941.
I love the Daylight such a beautiful train but that 6 chime in the very beginning just sounds and matches so much better then the future whistles after that
+Southern Pacific Productions Nice shot of 4449 I remember way back in 2009 I caught her at Kamazoo Michigan on that day it was awesome to see her in person.

@@jimmyhook4852 Never mind about it. Anyways, I would like to see Southern Pacific 4449 in operation. It’s another wonderful engine. I really it’s SP 6 Chime too.
And the wheel arrangement is a 4-8-4, also known as a northern type. And its known as the daylight, because in service they pulled the Coast Daylight trains in Calafornia and other states. The Class name is GS-4, Which stands for Golden State

@@EngineerDaylight I believe it was because during the locomotive’s 15 year overhaul, the whistle was tuned differently so it sounds slightly different.
I wish they would fix the whistle, it sounded way better than the current one, that’s for sure. To be fair, that same whistle was used from 1990 until 2010 until it became worn out, but don’t forget it was first used on a Northern Pacific challenger class locomotive before the whistle was to be placed on the 4449 to begin with.
You may have heard this from others, but as a 4449 nerd, I can’t help it. Would’ve commented it in one of the previous 500 times I rewatched it, but I was caught up in the whistles - how could one not be? Just wanted to say that the Northern Pacific Chime (third whistle in this video) was actually used from 1990-2009, and that the third clip you gave for the "NP Chime" (also the third clip of "SP 4449 Wishram Trips w/ Amtk #156") was actually taken in 2011 after the SP Chime (2010-2012) began to croak and squeak continuously, and even when it didn’t, still had a higher and rougher tone. The three clips that followed are of the same whistle, just days before its condition severely worsened. Nonetheless, this video is absolutely amazing and I truly love each and every scene in it! Well done!
I can't blame you, Im a big 4449 nerd myself. I made the video to showcase all the whistle she's worn throughout her excursion career. You can defiantly hear the squeaks and rough sound of the whistle during her 2011 trips. I suggest you watch the videos in their entirety (link in description)
not only the whistle change and its body look but also the mars light how i can it change look at the inside it has those 2 little light bulbs in it but when years past now it has 1 big bulb inside plus the out side of it look bigger than the main light
4449's whistles from my most favorite to my least favorite. 1. 2015 - Now 2. 1990 - 2012 3. 1974 - 1989 4. 1974 - 1990 5. 2010 - 2011 All my opinion. If yours is different, that's fine.
No, the one from 2015 was originally used on a UP FEF-3. 611’s current whistle is from her long lost sister #610. And also, be careful, there’s this kid spreading false information about the 611’s current whistle, saying it’s #4449’s old whistle. Many people have told him it’s false, but he stills thinks that it’s #4449’s old whistle. No hate to him though.

Availability of the cars. I think all excursions in full daylight colors happened when Southern Pacific Railroad still existed.
Probably has to do with insurance. Most likely, a lot of the daylight cars were not compatible with Amtrak or Union Pacific, and it was deemed too costly to operate them.
