  • On the return trip 765 made a stop in Jim Thorpe to let the passengers off and walk around. While entering the station R&N 425 was patiently waiting on an adjacent track where the two battled it out in the gorge!

    425: “Oh, you’re approaching me?”
    765: “I can’t blast my whistle at you without getting closer.”

    Our European brothers often ask why us Americans are so whistle happy. Well, the answer is somewhat simple. to bring steam anywhere in this country is a feat on its own, and when conquered is worthy of celebration; especially when two steam locomotives are able to have a meet such as between 765 and 425!

      +Kleman09 - well said. A whistle is a scream of defiance against the relentless march of time, and a notice to all that I survive, and am going nowhere soon. A whistle is an announcement as much as it is a statement, and a steam whistle heralds the coming of a train, of tradition, and of the once-beating heart of a nation.

    This was literally the best day of my life. Unfortunately we didn't see the whistle battle, but we heard it while we were eating in a restaurant up the street. We rode in the 3:00 pm train for R&N 425. We pulled over into a siding during the ride, and let NKP 765 pass us. Absolutely great day!!! They passed by us pretty quick so we got a big gust of wind in our car when they did. Never will forget August 23, 2015!!

    That was an amazing competition. I'm really fascinated by the contrast between the two locomotives' whistles. 425 has a more classic pleasant sounding whistle, while 765 has a more ferocious, monstrous, louder, and powerful type. And the echo that comes along with it is bone-chillingly amazing.
