  • In this video, I showcase my favorite steam locomotive whistles that I have documented throughout the United States in a top 15 list styling. These are all based on my opinion, if you feel like I could've done something different, let me know.

    I've always found the 3 chimes to be the best in rolling hills and plains. Nice range and not to shrill. The Hooters and how they echoed through the mountains back in the day must have been something.

    I can't possibly imagine the 4501's whistle not being first.
    The Central of Georgia is a nice sounding whistle, but the 4501 is so iconic it should've been first, but that's just my opinion.
    Also I think not putting the SP Daylights hancock whistle or the NKP 765s Nathan six chime on this list is very surprising. As well as 611s whistle or the N&W hooter.
    Other than that, this was an interesting video. But I think there was a few iconic whistles left out.....

    • @ArkansasLocomotiveWorks
      @ArkansasLocomotiveWorks  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well to put a note on what you mentioned about the Daylight, I've never documented it before, nor N&W 611, nor a N&W hooter. I don't wanna steal someone else's footage and put it into my own video and call it my own. I've documented 765 before, just not very happy with how I did that.
