@Strasburg1991 I believe that is the original whistle on 1225. 765 had 2 whistles that day. It's normal one and a low pitched hooter. May have been a whistle off a N&W J 4-8-4 (611).
@Railroadtrip445 `got that right! If only all of the NKP berks left would do a 6 hradder, that would be cool. too bad #779 will never realy run again.
@Strasburg1991 763 will not be steaming up anytime soon. At this time Jerry Jacobs is building a roundhouse and shop complex to service and store his steam locomotives. 763 is on hold for now.
Why did they take so long to come back? We got there about 5:30 and we waited till 8:30 and the train never came to Alma, and yet they said they would be back at 7pm. What caused them to take so long to come back?
Not sure what caused the delay. They didn't leave Cadillac until after 5pm. They had the train there to load before 4pm. They than did 2 run-bys in Lucas before stopping in Marion to drop off people. They went through Clare at about 7:50pm.
was that 1225's original whistle

@Strasburg1991 That's the same whistle 1225 has had since I've been chasing it. The first time I saw it was in '98.
