4501 had a different whistle than this back in 1992 for the Chattanooga trip. It seemed higher-pitched than this. Gorgeous engine she is :-)

Whatever happened to this particular whistle (the 6 chime)?

Is this what we can expect to see with the new 21st Century Steam Program? Will 4501 eventually pull long distance excursions at high speed like shown here? Will they put a diesel behind for protection? In this video there is a diesel behind 4501.

@SR6900 oh, ok. thanks for the correction Kyle.

@203lindy It's a Central of Georgia 6 chime, for sure. It's still at TVRM and we last used it on 610 in 2009.

Steam is back! Norfolk Southern is finally allowing steam excursions on their rails again! We should see the first excursions this summer, 2011 with locomotive #630.

@FreeFallin1976 Yes, in the 1990's she wore a Southern 3 chime step top, top lever whistle.

@Miketherailfan I believe it's still at T.V.R.M. I think it's a crown 6 chime.

Mike, that whistle in this video is Reading & Northern 425's Boston & Maine 6 chime whistle. I remember hearing that whistle back on the eve of 12/10/95 when it was returning to Steamtown NHS. I'll keep ya posted on any of your videos.
