dude one builder plate is differnt from the other.... was this taken on the same day?

[TRR12fan]

@288jh Why would you think that? Yes, it was taken on the same day. I've never seen a locomotive with two identical boiler plates. One is the Baldwin plate with her const. number (69425), the other is from her days in USATC with her locomotive number (#190)

that don't really sound like a lunk its sounds like a crosby used at the Cass Scenic Railraod in 1996

[TRR12fan]

@david245611 No, this whistle is a Lunkenheimer, not a Crosby. It clearly looks and sounds like a Lunkenheimer. Also, Tweetsie Railroad's head engineer has said it's not a Crosby.

Man, I love that whistle! It sounds great up on top of the hill. The first day it was on her, I honestly didn't recognize it.

[TRR12fan]

@yq190fan I agree, it's a very beautiful whistle. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[outlawsmitty]

You guys are right. this whistle sounds great. from a mile away. if you're in the first car of the train, this whistle will rearrange your teeth!

[TRR12fan]

@outlawsmitty I know what you mean.

[tweetsie12190fan]
