I gotta remove the steam shield on the Erie 5 chime and try it again. Pretty sure the shield was restricting steam flow to 3 of the chambers, which is why you only hear the octave (2 notes).
it is amazing how good the engine sounds when you pull off 10-15# of air and run her in the corner for the runbys. Makes it sound like we hauling a 50 car freight up Gulf Summit on the Erie!
frank an erie 5 chime, thats a new one in my book. sounded cool. and i really liked that C&S 5 chime. how fast were you guys runnin during this charter?
Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent camera work! I was the engineer on the trip, and it's great to have a memento of a great day on the railroad.
great video!!! i loved it!!!! that whistle was pretty interesting, and man,some of those shots she was really moving!!! nice to see some good speeds, i really enjoyed this video!!! thanks for the post!!!!
i liked your shots a lot! i guess they matched the top speed she had under I-78, cuz she went (i think) the fastest she's ever gone on the line on saturday. you should check out my shots! i give your video *****
Wow there's so much I can say about this video. The set ups, the camera work, the CARS, everything looked great. Really great stuff here! Its a shame I couldn't make it to this.
thank you joneau for making such an awesome video and thank you to the people running the line :-)

@manoferie Even if it didn't sound right, I always wondered what a dual chime steam whistle would sound like.

Here are the whistles heard during the video:
1:02 Erie 5 chime (only 2 chambers sounding - needs TLC)
1:30 replica RDG passenger 6 chime (2 or 3 sequences)
3:05 replica Colorado and Southern 5 chime (as heard on C&S 2-8-2 #807)
4:30 to end: Illinois Central long bell 3 chime steamboat - one of my favs.
thanks again!
