No... You're way way off. The whistle on the Consolidation #97 is a New Haven 6-Chime.

@auston5001 sorry, that note to @daltonauto was supposed to go to you...
-
@daltonauto actually, the locomotive's number wasn't 97, she was pulling mail train #97
-
I think auston5001 means the 2-6-0,, old 97 ..
-
Yes, but her tender received very minor damage in the incident, and ran the next day.
-
Ok, you're both HIGHLY uninformed about the Railroad and clearly don't know what you're talking about. First of all, @Gandalf0444 it was #97 that hit the garbage truck, and auston5001, just because a steam locomotive crashed, doesn't mean she'll go out of service. Hell, she didn't even crash. She hit a garbage truck out of her path but then went into emergency brake.
-
It was locomotive 40 that did, but it didn't receive much if any damage when it hit the garbage truck.
-
i thought engine 97 crashed?
-
No... They leave the fire burning all night, 24/7, if the engine will be used the next day. Even when the engine is not in use. It's very common to do that on steam railroads during daily operation schedules. However, when they don't have trains the next day, they let the fire die out after the last train of the day.
If you've ever seen before steam RRs put their engines to bed, you'll see the fireman shoveling coal so there will be a fire the next morning if there'll be trains the next day.

97 was actually built in 1923.

How 'bout they put a SP 6 chime on. No body will know the difference

I would know the difference.... but seriosly, they probably don't even have an SP whistle or even care to have one.
