Best whistle for Big 6!

[FatSeal45]

Danny should of kept that whistle still on "big six"

[david245611]

@FatSeal45 its officaly the best whistle for big 6!

[SR6900]

That's how I always remember WM 6. Cass seems to have changed a lot since I last been.

[CassFan5150]

Here come the train here come the train at :18 lol!!!

[CassFan5150]

Back in 05 or 04 I rode with an Engineer named Gary Cassel un Shay 6 and it had this whistle which I have been told was a WM freight whistle. Gary let me blow it at the crossings and my outlook on where I want to live and work changed. All I can say is Cass here I come!

[nerblebun]

Jezzzz.... a 3 chime Hancock? Climbing Bald Knob? Sounds like railroad porn to me.

[ecoRfan]

The Big 6 has a MUCH different whistle today. See my videos of it.

[CassFan5150]

I Miss That Whistle

[run202run]

Me 2. Thats its original WM whistle right?

[CassFan5150]

YES! Danny told me it was an original WM freight whistle...

[run202run]

Sweet! To bad they dont use it more often.

[CassFan5150]

Haha funny u say that... Danny also said they got rid of it for some reason :(

[xxcobra03xx]

Sounds like a 3 chime hancock.

[coolgyger]

Amazing how she sounds just like her sister, the 2-8-0 No. 734 of WMSR, which also sports a 3 chime Hancock

[Mattaeae]

What type of Whistle does this Engine have??

[TVRM610]

I heard that this is the biggest shay ever built. The whistle dosn't sound like one you would expect to hear on a shay.

[Strasburg1991]

nope there were bigger ones than no 6.

[TVRM610]

Still, the whistle isn't one you would expect to hear on a shay.

[Strasburg1991]

you are told correct.

[david245611]

that whistle mostly fits a large shay

[david245611]

Mower Lumber Co. shay 12 is thr largest shay.

[Strasburg1991]

what whistle did she have on?

[dylansparks5152]

Thats BS

[Strasburg1991]

# 12 built in 1921and rebuilt in 1933 i think for 205 tons

[CassFan5150]

Actually There Are Pictures Of It. Ive Seen It Be4

[shayfan]

Yes, Shay 12 was rebuilt by the Cass shops as a 205 ton 4 truck shay, it was scrapped in the 50's.

[shayfan]

Western Maryland (Big Six) was the largest Shay to ever be built by the Lima Locomotive Works. Other shay's later on had modifications to make them larger, such as GC&E #12 in Cass, WV which had a 4th truck added so the water tank could be enlarged.

[TVRM610]

I did not know that.

[superhotty88]

nice i was shown this at scool today lol

[Strasburg1991]

that sounds like union pacific 844

[GHOSTCOP5]

I rode in No. 6 2 times before.

Nice Whistle too!

[mafarnz]

[CSX6000]
