Last Train to La Veta

[TheMythfox]

a valley mallet as SP called them able to handle up to 60 cars

[Steam2k]

This whistle is an SP 5 chime.

[SR722]

Fantastic shot of her, and that's a beautiful whistle.

[DanielVolker]

I think her SP 6 chime sounds a lot better.

[Lirr172]

Pretty sure that's the whistle that was on 489 before she was pulled out of service. Great video!

[Chris9017]

That whistle must have been 18's old whistle, sine 18 had a whistle like that. It is a very beautiful whistle.

[SR722]

I agree, and it sounds like it's actually a Chinese 5-chime. SP 6-chimes are fantastic whistles, but like the Chinese 5-chimes, they're everywhere.

[TVRM610]

I wish they would get rid of the air clapper on #18.

Last train for the 2007 season.

Verry Nice

[CaptainAmericalives]

Is there a reason why 1744 seems to have a different higher pitched whistle?

[trainmaster844]

Sometimes they'll change the whistles on her, just for fun.
