That mockingbird hooter TOTALLY caught me off guard. I was like "WOAH! thats a heck of a squeak!" but then it went up like 3 octaves and I was like "HEY! OK I'm awake now!
My uncle just moved there not too long ago, he’s only 10 minutes away from Cass. and every time I go we always go to cass, I get chills when the whistle echos.
I have ridden behind all but the Climax, and ridden in the cab of Shay #4 and Heisler #6. Brings back memories of my childhood in the 70's. ❤❤ Two questions: First, is that the Climax that burnt up when the old shop burned down? Second, Where is Western Maryland #6? My Dad helped move her to Cass from the Baltimore Railroad Museum, and she has a special place in my memories.
That’s awesome! I’m not sure if that is the climax that burned as I’m not too well versed in Cass’s history. WM 6 is about to come out of a rebuild in 2023. It’s been down since 2019. Reason it took so long is a lack of workers to work on it.
@@SteamZRailfan That is great to hear. I am going to get my family back up there this year, as a kind of memorial to my Dad, who past in 2021. It would not be the same without WM6 running.

It caught all of us off guard in person too. Scared some people even 😂😂
That's the first time I've ever heard of a mockingbird whistle. It had me cracking up laughing 🤣🤣🤣
You should’ve seen the reaction other people at the event gave lol
@@SteamZRailfan man I wish I could have
Beautiful Shays and a Climax. I would like going to this heritage logging railroad in West Virginia.
They are amazing locomotives
I cant because im in Canada
We were there also. Was a great day! That Mockingbird whistle was LOUD lol.
It was an amazing event for sure. Yeah, that whistle was really loud
What whistles
I really like that mockingbird whistle
Me too
Same
I’ve never seen a shay so clean and shiny
Wonderful
I have to go to Cass one day!
It’s an amazing place
Great video I went last weekend definitely have to go next year to see the shay parade for sure!!
Thanks! It’s an amazing event for sure.
Wow, great catch! Well done!
Thank you!
Great Video!
Thank you!
23:30 wait why is 9 wearing a hooter whistle now?
It was a custom built hooter they were raffling off, it wore it so people could hear it
Awesome video!
Thanks!
I wish I had been able to attend. Would have loved to have bid on that shop-built hooter.
It was an awesome event for sure
I kept questioning how Shay 11's whistle sounded like that
Then I read the description about the Mockingbird Whistle
And honestly it’s very cool
It really is, so fascinating
Nice!
Thanks!
Nice! What kind of hooter is on Shay 11?
Thanks! That is a lunkenheimer mockingbird slide-valve hooter, the fireman can adjust the tuning while it’s being blown by pulling a separate cord.
Ah I see, and you’re welcome.
You can tell he was really having fun with that thing.
The lunkenheimer on 11 hurts me..
It’s a one of a kind, especially for a hooter
My uncle just moved there not too long ago, he’s only 10 minutes away from Cass. and every time I go we always go to cass, I get chills when the whistle echos.
That’s awesome! Yeah they give me chills at times too

蒸汽火車的笛音很好聽 很棒
Thank you!

New sub! Liked 🙏✌️👍
Thanks!
Why does it sound like Shay number 11's whistle is a steam siren lol 😆
It’s a mockingbird whistle the fireman can change the pitch of the bell
What he said. It’s a one of a kind whistle and one I absolutely love.
@@SteamZRailfan I found a video of how it works
@@RailfanLoy how interesting I didn't know a whistle like that existed pretty cool
Wow, now that’s something that you won’t see or hear everyday!
