  • I think that engine before the 4449 is a sd45-2 not a sd9 as you had said.

  • Thanks for the update!

  • I like the whistle. But the one now sounds way better. When was this?

  • 1989 - It was on its way from San Francisco to Sacramento for a Railfair.

  • The lead unit that was cut off and preceded the 4449, is an SD-40R.

  • Its the same whistle. Its just more worn out now and sounds different.

  • It was repaired and it is on the 700 now.

  • A crack? I though you said its on the 700 now?

  • beatful streaml;ines locomotive..i wish they would still use it in some parts of amtrack because of her speed

  • I don't think this one is off another GS engine, it's probably the same one she's had since the Freedom train, but it developed a crack, thus changing the sound.

  • Loved the model re-enactment !

  • Being an HO Scale modeler, the GP9 really sounds like a P.O.S. from Tyco. Good video though.

  • I talked to DOYLE this past Sunday and he said the '49 had the same whistle from 1975 thru 1989. It developed a crack and so the sound became wierd. It now has a 3 chime off an NP or GN 2-8-0.

  • 4459 was a GS-5 (GS-4 with Roller Bearings) and the whistle was passed down through private owners.
