Cab ride in WM 6 to Bald Knob

The video title says it all. I went up to Cass in June of 2011 and we got the chance to put one of our whistles on big six. And on top of that I got a ride in the cab. Thanks to Danny and Chris for their hospitality and a great ride up the mountain. Enjoy!

The Big Six stack talk never gets old. Sweet, sweet sound.

Great video man. Danny sure does know how to get the whistle to talk to ya for sure.

Wow! That voice of ACL steam lives!

[@shayno11]

Thats an awesome whistle... I think I snapped a picture of it

[@joeman1437]

Very nice video. It is extremely rare to have any ACL whistle in use. You wouldn't happen to have more videos/audio available of it in recent years would you?

How easy is it to pull the whistle cord??? When I rode the locomotive in 2015, I was surprised on how loose the tension was

[@drpeerless1]

Fairly easy if I remember correctly

@david245611 he loved it haha he said it sounded like his reading copy 6 chime which in my opinion it does lol

[@jltrain-zgamingrailfan202x3]

What kind of 6 chime is it?

[@drpeerless1]

The whistle is a enclosed "dome" type... not a step top. Very similar to what a Reading 6 looks like.

Oh man I didn't look carefully.
Your video clearly shows its an Atlantic Coast Line 6 chime.
