1991 NRHS Convention, Pere Marquette 1225 and Nickel Plate Road 765

I've heard it's a Nathan 6-Chime, I've heard it's a NKP 6-Chime...who knows! lol...The whistle she has today post restoration is from NKP #700. I don't like it. I love her whistle before she went under. Her new bell is bad too. Everything about her pre-restoration was good.

@wesowens I think it's the NKP 6-chime. It has that high pitched squiel that the Nathan 6-chime of the 1225 doesn't.

I love 765's main whistle, what kind is it?

[PereMarquette1223]

Whoa 765 has a different bell on. Wasn't this the time she was wearing #779's bell.

What is #765's second whistle? To me, it sounds like a Hancock 3-chime, maybe even a whistle used by a Frisco steam locomotive.

@razgrizaceblaze259 I heard it was a rare C&O 3-chime, but it sounds like a Hancock 3-chime.

@razgrizaceblaze259 765 was wearing a C&O Hudson whistle as her primary whistle that day.

About what the narrator said "And a tip of the hat too, to CSX Transportation" That was back in the day when CSX respected themselves and other people as a railroad, if only the CSX back then was like this today.
