Brookville Locomotive with Westinghouse Air Brake Trombone Whistle

In this video you'll see video run-bys of Ohio Vintage Coal's Brookville 3-Ton, Model BMD locomotive hauling a side dump car, at the National Pike Steam, Gas & Horse Association equipment show near Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The 42" gauge unit was built in 1962 for Mississippi Lime Co. in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, with an International Harvester Engine UC-135B engine and was repowered with an Isuzu Diesel C240 in1996. It and a sister locomotive operated on an elevated structure pulling a dump car of lime for the kiln operation, before OVCC acquired it.

For the August 2009 National Pike Steam, Gas & Horse Association equipment show, Ohio Vintage Coal added an air compressor system and Westinghouse Air Brake Trombone Whistle to the locomotive, which can be heard in the video. Many interurban electric railway cars, subway cars and locomotives once had this great sounding whistle.
