NKP 765 & PM 1225 doubleheader excursion - Oct 3 2009 - Part 3

[Strasburg1991]

why does 1225s whistle sound different for some reason

[PereMarquette1223]

@Strasburg1991 #1225's has so much more wear then #765's. So the whistle has been tuned to make it sound as best as possible.

[Strasburg1991]

@PereMarquette1223 its still the same whistle though right

[PereMarquette1223]

@Strasburg1991 Correct, both are Nathan 5 chimes. 1225's is worn out compared to #765's. Remember #765's Nathan is actually off of NKP #700, so for years it was never used. #1225's is her original stock whistle.

the Shay at 3:59 is probobly wishing she could join 1225 and 765.

What is the stuff they put on the rail. Does it give the engines wheels grip?

[Bitner09]

@LoganisTrainBoy1 Yes
