If you look up a few videos, 614 carried a custom made Nathan 6 chime (or 5 chime?) when it did the ACE3000 test runs in 1985, playing the same notes as a K5LA horn the Chessie used. 614 had a Reading whistle for its NJT runs in 1996/97/98. And something tells me they did retune 765's whistle as opposed to its previous excursion runs.
Black and White is a nice choice to bad those other vehicles got in the shot. Where do you think a good location will be for the one (SP4449 ? ) coming through Battle Creek headed for Owosso? I was thinking about Bellevue or Charlotte. TZ Albion
love how she gives off smoke rings at 7:10
I think 765's whistle sounds better now than it did 20 odd years ago..

you're right mike, her whistle sounds like a combo of that 2101's nathan 6 chime K5LA whistle, and Milwaukee Road 261
Wolfmother, nice
ok, thanks troy
Seems as if 765's whistle sounds like a mix of Milwaukee Road 261 and C&O 614's Nathan 6 chime from the '80s..
