MD Whistles 3 Chime

Whistles 3 chime being blown on 150psi steam at Six Flags St. Louis. This whistle was a creation of Mike Daugherty's own chord. I've since sold this whistle.

Hey Andrew is that a diesel in the foreground.

[adean1987]

Yeah, thats the "Mule." It's a little narrow gauge Plymouth diesel that came from a mine somewhere. Used to switch stuff in the winter or if the engine needs towed to the roundhouse from inside the park somewhere.

"It is the only one built (currently). VERY pleasant whistle!" not quite -- MD built one for himself, also, I believe... That makes yours one of two -- but the only "production" model, sure :)

Hi Cary,

Will be getting more video of it next weekend. Didn't actually get out on the line today. Will try to get some distance shots of it too. Sounds good echoing across the park!

Not enough steam pressure on that whistle.

The three- to four-chime is a good way to sound multiple notes on one whistle valve, simple and effective. J. L. Jones tested a five-tube progressive whistle during his last year at the Illinois Central, a design that became popular on other railroads after his death at the throttle of #382 on 30 April 1900---short-flagged and not enough braking room with Train 1 at Vaughan, MS, where a freight fouled the high iron.
