What a sight, too bad they don't do things like that anymore, I like the 142, it's got a cute little bell for such a big loco, I didn't know the 261 was there or the 425, what a sight and what memories. I was only 8 too so I didn't fully understand what was going on but it was thanks to this that we did go and I loved it.
can't explain...i have 33rpm record (if u know what those are) from 196? from Steamtown when it was in vermont...2-8-0 #15 was the power back then and in the record she has on the 6039's whistle...I also know this because they interview F. nelson blount on it and he even says it..
Cool, I was there too. I posted a video Response to this video with mind from the same event. I was on top of the Parking building. I was 26 years old.

Loved the video. 5*'s.
Also, that Susquehanna loco is pretty damn nice. I wish I were there, but I was only 8 years old. =(

Love when the bell was slow like that. And of course; great whistle.

17's bell and whistle? I like the fact that since then theyve slowed down 54's bell, not as annoying
