AWESOMW VID!!! 5 STARS!!! And by the way, what type of hooter is that? I love that sound! :)

[srr7312]

@mktno860 It is 475's 12 inch Hooter whistle, which is my personal favorite.

5:18 - 5:31 : Shades of the Reading Iron Horse Rambles!!! Love that hooter 475 has on her.

Man, I wish they kept that 12 Inch hooter on 475.

I know it ain't her original whistle, but darnit it should!

[srr7312]

@bnsf261 Yeah I like that whistle a lot, although I'm more of a fan of that special 3 chime whistle she wears every once in a while.

[PereMarquette1223]

@srr7312 Are you talking about the shop built three chime? I know of a 4th whistle that she's worn, but there's only one video of it on Youtube.

[PereMarquette1223]

@srr7312 Never mind, it's the same three chime.

[PRR4000]

@bnsf261 So true. I love that 12 inch, it's my favorite whistle out of all 3 whistles that #475 wears. I too wish they would put it on her regularly. Fun fact:

The N&W Class M's wore 8 inch hooters regularly but were later replaced by 12 inch hooters, so if the N&W was still alive and still used class M's, they would be wearing this whistle!

Great job on the wonderful shot's Robby.This look's like a pretty interesting spot to go to.

[srr7312]

Thanks!

[anthonyrmli]

very nice! I enjoyed it a lot

[PRR4000]

Nice video! BY THE WAY,

The whistle on 475 in this video is her N&W 12" Hooter, not 14" hooter.

I like it more than any of her other whistles, I wish they'd leave it on her regularly like the 8 inch.

I hope to see #90 and #475 both running when I go to PA This Sunday!

Thank you for the correction, I couldn't really tell what the measurement was.
