3 Chime Steam Whistles: Crosby & Lonergan

This past weekend I helped with Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation’s 2024 Railroad Festival. Specifically running our family’s 1906 Port Huron 20-60 Steam Tractor. Also on site was Jeddo Coal 0-4-0T #85 handling excursion service for the duration of the weekend. The backstory on the two whistles are as follows. The Crosby 3 Chime is a Late Model specifically from a Southern Railway MS-4 (4911) with the engine number stamped in the bell. The Lonergan 3 Chime I had bought earlier in the year came from the Rhyne Lumber Company of Newport, TN. This whistle is known for being on Dollywood (70) in the summer of 2020 & for being one of the few whistles used on the Three Rivers Rambler utilized by Southern Railway (154). This was the first time I put this whistle under steam since acquiring it. Enjoy the video.
