Fun fact: The Whistle was also heard on 484 in the movie “Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade” in 1989. When the train first appears as River Phoenix is racing towards it on the horse, 484 blows the whistle.
I get what you mean. Could have been a bit better but I still really like it, remember watching it a lot as a kid. Definitely love that they had the C&TS included in the movie.
@@justinmeeks1868it can't be that whistle, Reading made so much of these whistles that they all sound somewhat the same but this whistle sounded different to me
@@TheSteamGuy5125 What makes you think it cant be from one of the two crusader engines? Its not any different in its manufacture than any of the others, it was just equipped on a Crusader engine. Reading made enough to equip their 4-6-2's with them and that's it, so in the end they all came from a G class of some kind.
Rizzoli products don't sound as good. They use fabricated steel on a lot of their whistles, which really messes up the sound. Cast Brass is what they need to do if they want the authentic sound
But with those engines they make those whistles sound at their full potential with a high blowing rate, but for some reason these locomotives make this whistle sound deeper and with a medium blowing rate at the same time
The Reading 6 is an iconic whistle, especially in older Pentrax VHS' later DVDs and it is sad that they couldn't save it, but in the modern era, the Santa Fe 6 works better, giving 489 a more authoritive sound in my opinion.
The whistle was really showing it's age at that time. They say it became very worn meaning the languid plate edges were rounded and they couldn't take it apart.

Yup I remember that but that movie is kinda... eh to me

Really sad the whistle got junked. It sounded nice in the 80s. Very unfortunate it wasn't able to be repaired
Sounds good on 484 in “Cumbres and Toltec”, can’t rly hear any cracking
i wish Number 90 has that whistle.
Who knows, but #90 has had its 6 chime ever since it arrived in Strasburg
@@TheSteamGuy5125 i Mean like when is sound like this.
@@TheSteamGuy5125 I've heard that whistle on 90 is from one of the Crusader locomotives.

Why did the whitlsle scammed 2:32
Imagine if Rizzoli makes a replica reading 6 for 489

@@EngineerDaylight thats what i mean
The slightly worn Reading 6 Chime is definitely a spectacle one would hope to recapture on the C&TS once again.
Who knows, if they have the money, they could pay another tourist line like Strasburg to help them fix it
Sounds like 425, 90 and 2102
I don't know because this one kinda sounds different
