OOps, I guess the one in this clip IS a RDG 6 chime. But before this it always wore the B&N 6 chime. and NO, 425 didn't always wear this whistle. It wore the B&N 6 chime for most of it's life.
A Reading 6er it is. Each Reading G whistle has its own personality. Any where from 90s whistle to Andys that was on the 425 last weekend....to SGs which has been on the 142 twice.
Love the whistle. Hey, Len? Do me a favor: check out one of makopie's two videoes and have them re-do it from scratch, then have them put a Reading 6er at the end of the video. Thanks!
Na-aaa! The whistle in this clip is a Boston and Maine 6 chime. the 425 wore the B&N 6 chime always before it got its rebuild in the 1990s. It CURRENTLY wears a Reading 6 chime. But long time ago, it wore the B&N 6 chime. Trust me on this.
The coaches were uesd on the 1996 Ashland Special, but it rain that day and the coaches leaked. Some Nursing Home rented the train for the Special, and I bought tickets to ride it with five of my friends.
Can anyone find the road #s on those passenger cars, I can't find them in steamtown's collection today.

I was on an excursion behind 425 when I was three, back in 1993. Did 425 have a Frisco whistle, or a 6er?
