The whistle sounds a little too low pitched. They must've had the pressure turned down leading to the whistle.

[LimaLocoProductions]

@PereMarquette1223 They could also be quilling the whistle. you can make it high pitched or low pitched easily.

2-8-4 is a really ideal wheel arrangement.... plenty of support for a big firebox (hence sustained high DBHP), wheels big enough to get a move-on, but good for acceleration too, and a leading pony-truck to roll out the road and lead the loco around the curves, again at a fair speed. Damn fine-looking beastie too! And great in black....

Thanks

[pauldrake2511]

why the hell don't they use steam but use natural or propane gas. to create the heat to make the steam?who needs oil then

[longhairwayne]

Well,propane and natulal gas are both waste products from refining crude,soooo oil will still factor in.However,a tiney atomic reactor would consume nothing but water,and would last for 20 years.Aaaahhhh,a nuke scare.

[gw90]

like it better with the 611's whistle!

[LNERMallard]

me too!

[Strasburg1991]

[longhairwayne]

A superpower Brekshier with a nice consist of passenger cars.Them are the days lost forever.Thank goodness there are a scant few of these beauts left to reminde us how we got the progress we have today,lest we forget.

[wmichswingers]

Oil keeps going up we may have to go back to using these

[SouthernRR4501]

I hope so!!!

[spencermcgrew]

its really off time

[trainchugger53]

The whistle is a little shriller than the Polar Express, but who's complaining?

[russvenlos]

No, that is the whistle used in the movie

[Paraffinmeister]

Very nice! I think her valve events need some attention because her exhaust sounds terribly off beat!

[WheresMeLuckyCharms]

I took my boys to see this at the Candle Walk. We went right up to it and all the steam came shooting out the sides, so cool. We can't wait to see it again this year! :>D

[1225hubbard]

Great Vid Ive spent many weekends following the 1225.

[NickelPlate759]

Man, listen to that stack talk! Fantastic machine.

[mjkft22]

very nice!!

i cringe when i hear ppl in the Polar Express movie theater talk about choo choos

anyone who has been 3 feet away from a Berk or Northern or GS4 uses a bit more reverent name after that lol

[engineer71]

I dont agree, listen carefully, 2 sharp, loud chuffs and 2 sick, quiet chuffs. But thats just me I like my loco's running correctly.

[cb512]

I agree with you, that is starting to sound a bit sick ....

[russvenlos]

Great!

So when will you be sending the check to pay for it?

[engineer71]

money? it doesnt take money, it needs tools and some know how. If only I lived in the US.

[nollan12]

Its over rated. (living in the US, directed towards engineer71's comment, just incase youtube glitchs this)

[Murawsmc]

I was working on that train. I was car hosting the third car from the engine or one car before the dark blue with yellow stripes (gift car).

[kerchers]

Is this the same one as in Polar Express?

[CSX6000]

Yes sir, it is!
