U.S. Sugar 148: Steam & Sugar in the Sunshine State

[@stevensainerailfanproductions]

Awesome video as always! Glad to see more of 611’s whistle being blown.

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks Steve!

Great catches awesome chase and nice video

148’s performance is sweet. Steamboat whistle is fantastic 😊

[@4-8-4Northern]

That whistle is from Class J 4-8-4 611.

Grand video my man! The Brightline was a nice addition as well. Last time I was down there the Orlando extension had not yet been completed. But looks like a really cool stretch of new railroad.

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks! Brightline is very cool, unfortunately the shot I got in Wedgefield is the only one you can really get on the 125mph portion.

Nice video! Great to hear one of 611’s old whistles on 148. If Florida wasn’t such a bad state, I’d definitely go down and see her 🤣

[@OldIronVideo]

Florida is one of the best states I've ever visited only bad thing is the heat

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Thanks! FL's government is evil but I live in Tennessee which ain't much better.

Imagine worrying about politics on a steam locomotive video😂

[@OldIronVideo]

@@SmokyMtnSteam Gunna agree to disagree on the politics 😅 nice video though!

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Sugar, Spice & All Things Nice. Cute little steamy. Of course, Florida boasts one certain Magic Kingdom Park, which you've already visited I'm sure.

I'll be dropping three Disney videos later this week :)

I hope steam engine #148 will have a hancock 3 chime long bell steam whistle, the same type of whistle as the one on the APR steam engine #41. Unlike the steam whistle that belongs to N&W steam engine #611. Because that is my number 1 favorite type of steam whistle.

[@mylesspear]

Any idea what whistle she was wearing?

[@jordonfreeman166]

I don’t know for sure, but it certainly reminds me of Southern Pacific 4449’s whistle, which I believe is a Hancock 3 chime or Hancock long bell.

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

It's N&W 611's old whistle, a Hancock 3-chime I believe

[@southernkansasrailfan1964]

They gave her an air powered bell?

Sounds like the one 611 wore from the 1980s!

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

That's because it is!
