Holy Hanna!!! Is that poor thing ever out of time. Really evedent at 11:39 leaving Cumberland Sta. Does'nt anyone in the mechanical dept. hear this???? This engine has Baker valve gear. One of the best modern steam valve motions. Maybe the mechanics don't want to repair it. OR,, maybe they just don't know how to. But can't admit to that fact! Watch my vids from 2006. What a difference in the valve timeing!!! She was running nice then.
That whistle is actually an Illinois Central 3-chime steamboat whistle.
what's with the whistle?
Liked the old whistle much better, crisper tri-tone.
The boys aren't laying on the whistle near as much as they
did either. Probably to conserve all that leaking steam.
