Strasburg Railroad 8/03/09 Part 1

High Quality- Since I recently got a tripod, I figured I would try it out at Strasburg. As you may be able to tell, I'm still learning how to use it, but I was able to get some angles I've never gotten before. Motive power this day was #90 and #475 (who has her N&W 12" Hooter whistle on). Please be sure to view Part 2.

AWESOMW VID!!! 5 STARS!!! And by the way, what type of hooter is that? I love that sound! :)

[srr7312]

@mktno860 It is 475's 12 inch Hooter whistle, which is my personal favorite.

Man, I wish they kept that 12 Inch hooter on 475.

I know it ain't her original whistle, but darnit it should!

[srr7312]

@bnsf261 Yeah I like that whistle a lot, although I'm more of a fan of that special 3 chime whistle she wears every once in a while.

Great job on the wonderful shot's Robby.This look's like a pretty interesting spot to go to.

Thanks!

@srr7312 Never mind, it's the same three chime.

[PereMarquette1223]

@srr7312 Are you talking about the shop built three chime? I know of a 4th whistle that she's worn, but there's only one video of it on Youtube.

5:18 - 5:31 : Shades of the Reading Iron Horse Rambles!!! Love that hooter 475 has on her.

@bnsf261 So true. I love that 12 inch, it's my favorite whistle out of all 3 whistles that #475 wears. I too wish they would put it on her regularly. Fun fact:

The N&W Class M's wore 8 inch hooters regularly but were later replaced by 12 inch hooters, so if the N&W was still alive and still used class M's, they would be wearing this whistle!
