WMSR's Beautiful Hancock 3 chime steam whistle is heard for the last time in 2007. Now I know there is no real point to this video and the camera is all shaky, but I never was good at multi-tasking.

  • what was the 734s whistle in the 90s

  • Illinois Central 3 chime., with a cracked bell chime.

  • where is this train? the info says its the last time its heard, does that mean its having a 1,000 and some day boiler insepction, or is it out because of lack of money?

  • Western Maryland Scenic Railroad #734. Last run of 2007. 734 is still running.

  • @Trainlover12345 Sure is. By far the most common Hancock 3 chime.

  • such a wonderful sound...

  • The original owner of the Hancock 3 chime donated it for awhile then

    wanted it back.

    The whistle on the 734 now sounds like fingernails on a blackboard.

  • I have this whistle. I bought it from an employee of the Union Pacific and he said it came from a big boy but did not know which engine. The whistle is a three chime top step 6" in diameter hancock whistle. It coming from a big boy was secondary to me . I have held the N&W 611 whistle in my hands and these two whistles are sisters to each other. I just need something to put it on and blow it!!!!olddominioncoffee@verizo­n.net

  • @o484 it's amazing up in those hills. echos for miles!

  • @PlanesTrainsAutos how about an SP 6 chime?

  • if that is a big boy whistle or something like it? if it is long live the legacy of the big boy

  • Do you know if this is the 6 inch Hancock 3 chime?

  • @o484

    agreed
