By technicality it is also a ALCO 5 chime. Yes the White Pass owned it, but it was constructed by ALCO and was one of their standard whistles. Compare 190's 5 chime to 1702's 5 chime, they sound similar. In fact 1702's five chime is what 190's 5 chime is supposed to sound like, but at some point the whistle was damaged and now sounds incorrectly. Still sounds nice though. Thanks!
@@greatsmokymtnsrailfanwell at the same time, the whistle’s been sounding like that ever since 2008 or earlier, so it either must’ve gotten damaged or modified by the WP&Y
I’ll happily listen to 4501’s Princeton 3 chime all day, any day! But I also enjoyed hearing 190’s Crosby 3 chime!
1:35 that’s actually 190’s White Pass & Yukon 5 chime, but still a nice video
