NKP 765 Departure from Michigan- 10/12/2009

Too bad 765 couldn't have taken the lead more often.  Seeing a diesal leading a fine steam locomotive just doesn't look right. I know, it's insurance and liability issues, but still, it just is wrong on so many levels.

is that second whistle a Southern 3 chime off those old 2-8-0's & 2-8-2's

Ahah, the 765 was pushing the GLC 391 =]

[Stetsonater]

@GoldenCreekValleyRR I dont believe it works..... I think it was off of NKP 779 In Lima.... or it was there from the 80's

The NKP whistle sounds as it should! Awesome clip man.

I think you may have witnessed one of the few times a steam engine has had a whistle battle with itself :-P

Awesome video! It was really nice to see they let 765 go on its own for a bit
