- Steam Whistles are one of the best sounds in the world. On a steam locomotive, they are the most iconic sounds and most beloved sounds in all of railroading. In this video, we see the whistles of Pere Marquette 1225, Nickel Plate Road 765, New Hope & Ivyland 40, Black Hills Central 110, Reading & Northern 425, Strasburg 90, and finally, Baldwin 26. Sit back relax and enjoy a compilation of, in my opinion, the best sounds in the world.
0:04: Pere Marquette 1225
0:51: Nickel Plate Road 765
1:10: New Hope & Ivyland 40
2:13: Black Hills Central Railroad 110
3:03: Reading & Northern 425
3:48: Strasburg 90
4:54: None
The last one at 4:54 is a very short clip of Baldwin Locomotive Works 26. Thanks for the timestamps.
MPT 1225 Oh nice one 😉
And witch one is your favorite one? 🤔
Mine is Pere Marquette 1225 🚂😃
I hope one day to ride in them 😔
El Tijerina mine is also the 1225! :)
Reading & northern is my favorite where’s it at
Noah The hot rod ?
These always sound so haunting. the fact that it's air-based makes it feel almost like it's a breathing thing calling out
The whistles use steam, not air
@@MPT_Productions I thought steam was just hot air for some reason, my bad
@@WindHowlerDoesStuff nope. It’s boiled water
You know that train is the polar express
@@WindHowlerDoesStuff if anything modern train horns are air horns. Compressed air blowing past a diaphragm causing it to vibrate at a high frequency and through a trumpet that amplifies the sound
I don't think there is a man alive today who hasn't dreamed at least at one point in his childhood about piloting one of these beasts and blowing the whistle and ringing the bell.
Same here. I always wanted to pull the whistle cord for the train and ring the bell all my life, but I never got the chance or never did. As a kid, way back then somewhere in the 90s.
Well, i guess im not a man
"I've wanted to that my whole life!"
Watching these mighty steel beasts in action is pure therapy. Modern engines look like electric shavers.

imagine having no idea steam engine trains existed and one day hearing that horrifying screaming sound and loud thuds like footsteps coming closer
That’s what I think about airplanes. Especially when jet engines came around at the end of World War 2
Steam trains are living works of art
Thanks, David!
My uncle's friend, Eric, told me about a train wreck on my uncle's property. In the winter of 1896 there was a steam engine that was late getting from Huntingdon to State College with the township of Spruce Creek along the route. On the property, there's woods and a ridge in the woods. On top of that ridge is a rusty OLD railroad. The train's number has been long forgotten since then, but the wreck resulted in no survivors, with only one whiteness. The train was going too fast when the brakes broke and the engineer blew the whistle as long as he could. The train hit a bend, derailed and plowed through the woods and the boiler exploded. Again, the wreck resulted in no survivors. The conductor, and the engineer were scalded to death by the steam, while the fireman (the guy who shoveled in the coal) was found burned to death IN the furnace. During a fire in the town hall, the records of the train wreck were burned and the story is only known because it has been passed down and told over and over again. Ever since I heard about the wreck of the forgotten train, there's something haunting about the sound of an old steam engine whistle.
Classic 1800s train tale
Such an awesome yet simultaneously tragic part of history... I wonder if you can hear a ghostly steam whistle on that estate at night/early morning
@@crusiethmaximuss I heard it on a hunting trip last November.
@@Trey_816 👀😮
This guy hears a whistle and just thinks "It's come for me, hasn't it?"
Hearing a steam whistle is like listening to a very good song or piece of music, you can’t ever get enough of it!
Exactly!
This makes me wanna cry cause it's such a good era coming to an end aka the steam era😢
It’s coming back better than ever with the amount of steamers running and/or being restored
@@MPT_Productions yup
It came to an end years ago my boy. 😔
@@electricgaming9914 thankfully many are still running and being restored to run again to continue the great legacy for years to come!
@@MPT_Productions and most railway owners are scraping them :( for the money
1:30
I know that train! I live about 20min away from where that train lives. She lives at the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad Station in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Glad to see that she made it into a TH-cam video and is being viewed by the world and not just people that live in the same area (and surrounding areas too) as her.
Devon Walter nice! I’ve been there multiple times with multiple videos on this channel. I really enjoy going there and seeing it!
Tuiop0⁹🎉the park 9😅
Haunting! Misty eyed,,,bless them all,,gone but NOT forgotten! Well done good servants one and All.🚂
4:08 gives me chills every time with the echo
I’ve had the pleasure of being able to ride on this exact train and route in Strasberg, PA. The echo is something else in person.
Very romantic sounds from the past, beautiful video ❤
Thanks!
Nothing can replace them. Sooooo nostalgic 😊
I love hearing trains coming by I wish we had the ones that whistles too I like the horn ones and the whistles 😁😁😁
They’re great to hear
@@MPT_Productions yes!
Pere Marquette 1225 is my first favorite steam locomotive in the world. It's another existing steam locomotive. It was also a movie star engine from the movie, the Polar Express.
Nathan Corcoran it too is my favorite steamer in the world.
I also love that train
Even got the Lionel polar express
But to be honest the real pere marquette 1225 is superior
@@MPT_Productions Its not my Favorite, But it my Favorite American Locomotive
My favorite is the Flying scotsman btw
@@dutchthespitfire3204 👍
i am pretty sure that the polar express was not a mountain type
Such a mournful cry and brings goosebumps! The time when steam engines ran on the mainlines is gone but never forgotten
Cool! I recognize the Jim Thorpe Lehigh Gorge station! Only about 50 minutes from me and of course Strasburg, an hour plus to my south. Love Jim Thorpe!
BH&C 110's whistle is a true example of Polar Express spirit.
It is a great whistle for sure. Sadly it’s not worn by 110 anymore.
Love this. I come from a family of railroaders. So awesome!
Glad you enjoyed!
You're walking alone on an empty stretch of dirt road along the countryside. The air is slightly cold and there is a light, almost unperceptible breeze. Suddenly you hear a sound: "AWOOOOOOOAH- WO- WOOOOAH". You turn around and there it is. Big, dark, a thick cloud of black smoke coaling out of the chimney, a big yellow light in front of it, like a giant eye, its pistons making the iconic sound, "chukka chukka chukka chukka". It's an old 1940s steam engine, with its long tail of railroad cars behind it.
I leave it up to you to decide wether the train you're looking at is irradiated by the sunlight, surrounded by green pastures and topped by a shining blue sky, or if it's a dark figure calling you from the darkness of the night, in a spot where you're sure there aren't any working railroad lines since before you were even born
Im mortified
🎶And that's the way things happen on the Polar Express!🎵
Steam locomotors, such marvelous juggernauts. 🥺❤️❤️
They are great machines indeed!
I grew up in the Black Hills. 110 is one of my favorites
Cool! It’s a favorite of mine as well. Really like the Black Hills Central.
More than the whistle I love the locomotive bell sounds 💛
Glad you enjoyed
The most beautiful of steam engine whistles
Glad you enjoyed
Quite haunting . Thank you so much for giving us , we old men , something so familiar
Greetings to steam train lovers like me... Mechanical monsters of the past. Unfortunately, we don't have any of these left in Turkey. It's a shame.
Just beautiful
Thank you!
Well I give 1225 this, it has the bell of complete satisfaction
Trey Fox heh you know it! I think it’s the best. No wonder 1225 is the best locomotive heh
Better than 425 as well heh
@@MPT_Productions Not exactly... There are many reasons 425 is superior
Train Chamber oh no
@@TrainChamber oh no
"Ya should've been in town when ol' Reuben's train came down, you could hear the whistle blowin' miles around".
I miss these whistles 😊...In my childhood days I loved 😍 the sound of the train.
1:58, that guy was standing WAY too close!
He wasn’t as close as it looked based on the video
The whistle at 2:13 reminds me of the train whistle from RDR1. I think it's my favorite in this video too.
Cattleman Revolver I don’t know what that is.
@@MPT_Productions it's an old game from 2010. Red Dead Redemption 1. If you search up RDR1 train you'll probably hear the whistle.
Cattleman Revolver oh ok
This sound haunted so much in the childhood and i am sure it must have haunted so many in their childhood too....!
3:30’s it for me. Pennsylvania 3 chimes are quite possibly the best sounding whistles
Nice
Thats Reading and Northern 425. I believe it has a Reading 6 chime.
@@PotentialAutist42069 I know. The locomotive was part of my childhood. And 425 wears various whistles. The Pennsy 3, Reading 6, and I believe it wears some 5 chimes as well. Those are good examples.
This is the whistle that I've heard when I was child
Which one?
@@MPT_Productions the first loco
@@MPT_Productions I like the smelt of charcoal smoke as well👍👍
Welly L Hakim oh ok
Train ASMR hits hard 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Love steam locomotive’s can’t wait to see 3985 running again
Also when 40 and 90 were build by Baldwin locomotive works they got placed with the same bell and basically the same whistle although 90's wheel arrangement is a 2-5-0 and 40 having the arrangement as a 2-4-0 they are very close sisters thank you for reading this and have a nice day
Strasburg 90 Fan I’m not sure if 40 came with the Reading 6 Chime, but if not, it is one that came in the same batch per say as 90’s 90 didn’t have its whistle when it was built. It came from a reading crusader. Also, when you classify a wheel arrangement, you use the total amount of wheels, so 40 would be a 2-8-0 and 90 would be a 2-10-0. Just figured I’d point that out.
Why are you using the french system for wheel arrangements?
0:50 gotta be my favourite with the tracks slowly getting louder
God I fucking LOVE Steam engines and their whistles.
Love that sound!
Me too 🙂
“Clear the way! Pawpaw is here to show us how it’s done!”
What a beautifully haunting sound!
Steam whistles sound so natural compared to the horns on diesels. Choo Choo!
I agree!
Awesome video!! It is very relaxing, almost makes me sleepy.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
i live by like 4 railroads and i hear trains all the time and now i’ve fallen down a rabbit hole about trains and horns lol
I have fallen down a Train video rabbit hole myself and it started because of the hilarious SNL parody of Unstoppable. 🤣 I then started looking up Unstoppable the movie clips and I started looking up Train Safety PSA, and then I started looking up people who got hit or almost hit by train and now I'm here. 🤣
it is absolutely formidable, that is as if it comes to life❤
The first train remains me of that movie❤️ Polar Express🩵
great collection of whistles, new sub too
Steve Clark thank you I appreciate it :)
beautiful piece of machinery
Definitely
Fun fact the first train is the Pete Marquette the train polar express eased based off both book and movie😊
wow, the reading and northern is awesome
Glad you enjoyed
HELL YEAH. Steam locomotives have always been my BABIES.
Absolutely LOVE this!
Thank you, Taylor!
OMG, it's beautiful!
This is the ring tone to my phone
Glad to hear 🙂
@@MPT_Productions OMg you responded
@@Nindorious1 I respond to all comments 🙂
That's awesome.
When Steam was king.
Jack Salvin yea
Nickel Plate Road 765 is my favorite whistle
It’s one of my favorites as well
Noice video! 425 should've had the VGN 5....
Anyway i was waiting until all my rail fanning for 2018 is complete to do one
Train Chamber thanks BTBJ! Yes I’m still angry that it didn’t have it. I’m not sure if I’m going anywhere else this year, but I felt like making one now heh
Man I love all of these but I love the 1225 pere Marquette Lima 5 whistle, I’m also a little boast because I’ve road it twice and live very close to it
I do too, especially 1225! Also, the whistle 1225 carries is a Nathan 6 Chime despite popular belief saying its a Lima 5 Chime. I believe at one point it had one, but currently it wears at Nathan 6 Chime
@@MPT_Productions ok thanks for letting me know!
@@cletus1165 you’re welcome!
0:04 OMG!!! It's the The Polar Express!!!
Sounds like a living beast 😂 😂
the first one they show is literally the polar express. that’s the train they based the train from the movie on.
4:08 Playing echo tag with a locomotive whistle is oddly something I've never thought of before.
Such a beautiful train I am in love with the locomotive choo-choo train
I really want to be conductor I would love to get paid to drive trains it looks fun and you don’t have your boss yelling at you you’re all alone which I love I would love to be doing this for all my life being in a train Freight train going really fast with a lot of cars and cargo and fuel And making lots and lots of money I would love it listening to my own music and listening to author Guthrie New Orleans song
This gotta be so scary at night
Ah...
The sweet sound of industrialisation.😌
The Iron Horse is a majestic beast indeed 🚂
Yes it is.
Very nostalgic, wowza!
I bet back in the day you could identify which engineer it was just by how he finessed the whistle.
@@John-wg6xw you’re exactly right. Some of the railroads and engineers I’m most familiar with, you can tell who’s running just based off of the whistle. On some engines, you can also tell who is running based on how the engine is being worked.
There's a train running down the track to the junction
Petticoat junction!!!!
Come ride with me down to the junction
Petticoat junction
The day the world ends will sound just like this.
Beautiful train ❤
That sounds just great 🥰
Glad you enjoyed!
3:05 he's trying to do the Once Upon a Time in the West harmonica
I like the echo 4:25
Glad you enjoyed
@@MPT_Productions thank you
@@angelmalarkey7946 you’re welcome!
I don't know why I keep finding it hard to accept that trains had absolutely no electrical components in their early development asides from the lights.
Cool video and 765s whistle is my favorite
Thank you! 765 is a very close second for me :)
I think it was that she was wearing was actually nickel plate Road 760s whistle, Because nowadays her whistle is much sharper and more shrill with a much higher pitch
@@maxm4375 The whistle shown here is 765's regular whistle. The whistle isn't very high pitched.
With the price of fuel we might be going back to steam!
LMAO! 🤣
I find it comforting
1:10 thought I was in Strasburg ngl
Nope. New Hope & Ivyland Railroad
Hope to see 765 and 1225 doublehead again soon.
Same here
Thank you for this video!
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed, Pete!
1:43 Close your eyes, Listen. Sounds like Strasburg 90?
Both have Reading 6 Chimes.
@@MPT_Productions And the same bell
@@TheClinchfieldRailfan yep
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no name
Freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
Good morning America how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
And the sons of pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep
Are rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Good morning America how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Nighttime on the City of New Orleans
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea
But all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train got the disappearing railroad blues
Good night, America, how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
2:37 The Steam locomotive say waaaaaaaaaahhhhh
Strasburg 90 Fan lol yes
It sounds like the polar express
@@TheMNrailfan227 yes
The Sound that won the West.
Omg! Haha
0:04
That's the locomotive strongly influencing the 2004 Christmas Film train - The Polar Express - 😁

I like trains.
Me too
Me three.
the ratio is 1:2, 1 is for wagon, 2 is for engine. 1:2 in weight, speed, traction, temperature, and stability
steam locomotives are still being used nowadays? thats cool!
Yes they are!
@@MPT_Productions Heritage rails and tourist trains use them. I believe steam still lives in Ohio.
@@erical6338 right. A lot of the states have at least 1
My girlfriend sounds like this when she sleeps
Sheldon liked this video.
I love train horns and steam whistles! But I'm sorry but why do all these types sound like they're completely broken? The choice of notes is so incredibly bad with these ones. Ofcourse it's personal taste :)
I find them to be quite nice
Dude,I swear engine #40 had SRC 90s whistle on it.and bell
It was made to sound like 90s bell. The whistle is a Reading 6 Chime replica so it’ll sound similar
Shivers.
