very nice, she has an awesome whistle. I just came back from KRM. Our special caboose train was supposed to be pulled by her but she's down for major repairs and they subbed a diesel, but I did get a cab ride which was very cool. I've ridden a lot of trains but never in the cab, so that was an unexpected thrill.
lol love the horse crossing the tracks at the beginning!!! So they don't use the old whistle anymore? Well that sucks lol most engines are often associated with the sound of their whistles!!! I guess they can't some how duplicate it so it sounds the same???
dude i looked this up and its so hard to find on google im not a fan of trains but id did find somebodys work thingy and its for the l&n railroad the most i can figure out is that its for insurence 1950's to the 1970's
Awesome video! My Dad and I was part of the group that restored the 152 back in the early 80s while the museum was back in Louisville. One of my jobs was to polish that whistle so this was especially important to me! I'll never forget those days with my Dad and the 152!
Yes it is, its the L&N Lebanon Branch that ran from Lebanon Junction, KY to Mt. Vernon, KY. It was around 80 miles long, and also had 2 smaller lines branching from it, one, the Greensburg branch, which met the lebanon branch, in Lebanon. the other went to richmond, ky but im not shure what the name of that one was. The line was built around the late 1850's early 1860's. About 30 miles still exist on west portion 2-3 which still are CSXT's and the other 27 to the KRM. In the east 5 miles of CSXT
how on earth did a susquehanna coach get down there?? haha

Can't they just add another layer of fresh brass in the whistle to make it OK again?

Yes, I believe KRM's line is of L&N vintage.
