A lot of people say this is N&W 611’s whistle but honestly I think it sounds more like UP 4014’s or UP 844’s whistle, but I can definitely tell the difference and I really think its not 611’s. Of course it may actually be just they have it tuned a little different but I still don’t think it is.
the only Live steam engine I've ridden is Flagg coal #75 but ive seen WMSR 2-8-0 #734 on my way to Washington D.C (I passed through Cumberland on my way to D.C)
No. Both are the only OPERATING survivors at present, out of 20 such locomotives preserved. NKP 765's sisters are preserved throughout the Northeast - mainly in Pennsylvania and Ohio. #1225's sister - #1223 - is on display in Grand Haven, Michigan. C&O "Kanawha" #2716 is being restored to operation at the Kentucky Railway Museum -> www.kentuckysteam.org
@@MPT_Productions that's 20 alright and eventually we'll have 4 C&O 2716 sometime next year and Nickel Plate Road 763 too which is planned to be restored to operation the future by the Age of steam roundhouse
1225 is the one steam locomotive i really really really want to see one day since out of my top 5 favorite steam locomotives 1225 is the only 1 operational 2 of them are going through overhauls, 1 is awaiting another overhaul and the other one is retired and said to never run again due to a part that's too expensive to repair and its being a part of history where it resides. Also if your reading this Chris do you mind answering this question from me and its what's your top 5 favorite steam locomotives and i have a feeling 4449 and 765 and 2 of them since you mentioned 4449 is your favorite steam locomotive in part 4 of Jim's top 20 favorite steam locomotives andj if you'd like i can tell you my top 5 favorite steam locomotives too and you probably might now them all but I'll tell you if your interested also have yoy yet visited strasburg to see 611 ir have you have you not because of your job with the air force? Just wondering and what's your opinion on 475 with a smokebox centered headlight

That was a wonderful weekend! That is when I fell in love with those wonderful Berkshires (1225 and 765)!!!
It was wearing N&W 611's whistle for this trip too!
611's actual whistle or a replica?

I believe this might have been the actual whistle.
It sounds more like a Royal Caribbean cruise liner than NS 611.

@@evanf1293 I don't think 2716 will be done next year. I don't know what actually is going on with 763.
@@MPT_Productions yeah but there's possibly a chance 2716 will be operational thanks to all the money that''s be given to bring her back to steam
Who agrees 1225 looks better without the number boards well I do
Me
beautiful
Does this event happen ever 5 years in Michigan and it will happen again for 2019?
No, it does not occur every five years. These events have become harder to finance and execute without making a decent return on investment.
@@trainmaster844 I see well thanks Chris
That thing is huge!
It certainly is a big engine - matched only in size by it's close cousin, Nickel Plate Road 765.
Christopher Kovacs and also nearly identical locomotives.
