I loved those runby sessions. Tweetsie Railroad may normally be a bit cheesy, but come time for Heritage Weekend and Ghost Train, they sure can put on a show with their narrow gauge locomotives.
There’s actually a few former WP&YR locos in use on various tourist railroads and theme parks. The largest users of WP&YR steam is Dollywood, with three. Those engines are 70, 71, and 192. 192 is of the same class as 190, and 70 and 71 are of the same class as 73 up in Alaska.
Boy, you really got me going, You got me so, I don't know what I'm doing. A song recorded by British Pop Group The Kinks, in case you were wondering where I got the lyrics from.
The whistle heard on the 190 in this video isn't its original. The whistle it came to Tweetsie with from the White Pass & Yukon is an old Rio Grande 5 chime that can be heard in videos of the first day of the 2008 Railfan/Heritage Weekend and videos of both days of the 2019 Heritage Weekend.
It's certainly on my radar, but I highly doubt I'll be able to go see it. I'll probably have to wait for them return to the Mississippi in the summer in a few years.

it's nice that a former wp&yr locomotive is in use by this railroad and I have rode the white pass and Yukon route

Beautiful, just beautiful.
This was without a doubt the best train video I’ve ever seen. Your shots were fantastic, the whistles were awesome, and the echos! Awesome job!
Thank you!

because it's whistle sounds like the white pass and Yukon route engine 73 and number 12's sounds like one that a Cass scenic railroad shay uses

I like your vid
What whistle was #12 wearing during 5:40

Okay, cool ^^
This is the first tweetsie video I ever saw (3:32 what is that? it has a car horn).
Did you hear that UP 844 will be in Memphis, TN in October?
It's certainly on my radar, but I highly doubt I'll be able to go see it. I'll probably have to wait for them return to the Mississippi in the summer in a few years.
Cool 👍

Hell of a lot of unnecessary whistles.
It is a little excessive but they like to put on a show.
I hate the second engine, its ugly whistle keeps blocking out the leaders good whistle.
What a petty reason.
If you saing that the 190 is ugly, the 12 is very ugly
