I have a question about your H. Reid Film Collection Volume 8, is there perhaps any other film of southern railway steam locomotives? There is so little footage of Southern steam so I am interested to know if there is any other clips.
I bet someone might install a Star Brass 5 chime on the Mallet next. Don’t get me wrong, this whistle sounds nice, but was this the same whistle used when test firing before the restoration was completed?
This is not the same whistle from the test firings. That whistle was off a WM 4-8-4 and was in pretty poor condition. This is a rare whistle off a Southern Railway 4-8-2 specifically from Asheville and is in excellent shape! There are other whistles to end up on the engine in the future, but a Star Brass 5 is not on the list. This Southern 3 will be the regular whistle for when guest whistles aren’t on hand.
They finally gave her a long bell 3 chime, I'm soo happy 😊
Also great video
The whistle is awesome. Got to love a SR three chime. Thanks for posting.
For some reason, this whistle fits her!
I agree
I agree too way batter than the previous one.
I agree
Yes sir! It's her destined whistle
It sounds like UP 844 and 4014 to me
Such a beautiful sight, from another time! Can't find the words, just listening to that whistle is so moving.
It would be really cool to see 1308 back in operation and double head with 1309
A great video. Love the steam, that whistle and the stack talk!
Fantastico Video!!! 👍👍👍
Great video
Should be 232000 likes. Not 232. Awesomeness for sure.
Can you imagine 1309 going up to 80mph, that would be interesting especially with this scene here. 9:33
If she was going 80, she would be broken by now.
1309 is very much incapable of going 80mph. She might be able to do 60mph in a push but 50 is more reasonable.

Красивые кадры❤❤❤❤❤ а как гудит, просто песня😊
So, what was the original whistle on these engines? Yes, this is so much better!
A Nathan single note hooter.
The whistle she currently has is Long Bell 3 chime from a Southern Railway Ts-1 class 4-8-2
Nice!

Afraid not. The WM J1 whistle Dissappeared after that test fire. It's a pity cuz that whistle rocks. But the Ts-1 whistle here fits her much better
Think they’ll let me put on a custom C&O 6 on there?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nice shots , was that the name that was billed for the trip
Not to my knowledge. I came up with the title as a nod to the heritage of 1309 working the Scarlet shifter in West Virginia.
thank you ! I also was on the trip and was just wondering.
The little sister of the C&O 2-6-6-6 Allegheny
