- on June 17-18, 2022, Western Maryland Scenic Railroad put the PRR T1 3 Chime Whistle on their articulated locomotive #1309. Enjoy the Mellow tones of this original PRR T1 whistle on one of the largest operating steam locomotives in the world. It is probably the largest steam locomotive used in regular passenger service. It runs every Friday-Sunday May thru October. You can get tickets to ride at www.wmsr.com
This Whistle will someday be the voice of PRR T1 #5550. www.t1trust.com
The engineer on the #1309 is PRR T1 Trust General Manager, Jason Johnson. Firing this day is Mitchell Johnson.

I’m glad this will be the real whistle, can’t wait to see the full T1!
Why did they take off the western Maryland whistle?
@@iandawson457 my guess is that their wanting to test the T1 whistle and how it would act like.
@@iandawson457 because probably the T1 website asked WM to put the whistle on there and said yes they probably have it back now so that's what I think
Exactly I'm excited when she'll get finished
It’ll probably take them a while make her..
My Grandfather worked for Baldwin from the 1920's till retirement in the 50's he was a shop foreman and I had found a photo online of a New T-1 with him and a couple of other Baldwin employees standing in front of it. Unfortunately, the man who had the photo online died and I can no longer find the photo to print it. However, Like the Big Boy I hope to someday get to see #5550 pulling a full consist of PRR Heavyweight Pullmans. A dream perhaps but they said they would never restore and operate the Big Boy. I got to climb on that exact Locomotive in 1970 when my Grandparents took me and my middle brother to California for vacation. I hear that whistle blowing!
There's a photo on wikipedia of a couple of Baldwin employees standing next to the 1942 T1 prototype no. 6110. It's probably not the same photo but it sounds relatively similar to what you're describing.
In my opinion still the most beautiful whistle ever made
*hem hem*
You are forgetting about LNER a4 whistles
They're actually my favorite American and British whistles.
This one off the 4449 will always be mine, but it's also what she had when I was a kid.

@@HyperCat72 British steam whistles don't have a voice like American whistles
@@cb_styx3392 some don't, sure. But thats the same for American steam whistles. But british whistles just sound more elegant.
It's foamin' time. Can't wait to hear this whistle on the mighty T1 when it's finished.
That's music to my ears, how nice it sounds... also, very cool articulated locomotive there! Cheers, guys!
@The T1 Trust, Stephen here. Thanks so much for sharing my video! Thank you for what you do to encourage the next generation of Steam railroaders and can’t wait to see the 5550 use this whistle down the road, it was a fun day and great fundraising idea, thanks for helping to make fun new memories!
Thank you for supporting us!
Hearing this makes me more excited to see the T1 become complete so that it can rock that whistle.
Nothing like a PRR T1 whistle. Keep up the amazing work!
Nice, can’t wait to see 5550 in action, it’s gonna be a while but I can already see her
Agreed. I wouldn’t be surprised if 5550 rolled into Penn Station here in Baltimore.
She sure is beautiful. Love that whistle 👍
Words can’t express how great that whistle sounds. I’m glad it’ll be used for what the Pennsy called “the train of the future”.
Well 5550 has a amazing whistle
5550 will be amazing to see when she’s finished, thank you guys for all the hard work you’re doing to make this a reality for us and our children to see!
PS we need a race between her & 611 to see who can beat Mallard’s speed record first 😉🏁
Can’t wait to hear it on a t-1 at speed!!
I can't wait to hear that whistle on 5550!
I have not experienced the American steam age but this the train you are working on known as the T-1 Duplex, I hope will be my first steam train to see operational.
Long live the PRR T1
Definitely long live.
Imagine hearing that as a locomotive wizzes by you at 130 miles an hour, and furthermore, imaging being the engineer of that locomotive!
I believe that's something that the PRR T1 #5550 will do when completed.
Amazing
Beautiful
What a soothing and lovely sound! Can't wait to see the T1 and hear that sweet whistle on her!
Cool sound, it would probably sound better at high speed. Is this some whistle that the T1 will use, or is it a whistle saved from a original T1, or is it a reproduction of the type of whistle the T1's used?
Used and will use
@@jwilmes667 ok. Great and thanks
It's an original whistle
The speed capabilities honestly warrants a more than a whistle, gorgeous as this one is. Wouldn't be too inauthentic for 5550 to have a horn as well; S1 6100 had one of course, and an early Trains article cites T1 6111 having an air horn as well. Besides, for an engine meant to do west of Harrisburg what the GG1's did east of there, a Leslie seems like a no-brainer
Beautiful sound
Well, at least we know what we expect to heat when it's finished.
I love to ride with steam trains. The successful lines in my country are a lot smaller, but no less cool. One line build a new one in 2009 the first in decades. It drives through a small town, on the roads like a tram, every hour.
A sneak peak for our ears ;)
Actual whistle of PRR T1
That whistle was 👌
We’re gonna do it no matter what it takes! #t1trust
I got a good picture of what the engine is gonna sound like🇺🇸
I think yall need to make another replica of that whistle, so 1309 can keep it, since it sounds wonderful.
So cool
Guess that's whistlin T1 Trust PRR 5550
been a while since i've last seen anything of 1309, man!
Sounds great
Uau The Whistle The T1 5550😨😱
very great sound
8 More Years Left!
Here's a question for you @The T1 Trust: Where will 5550 run to reach 140 Miles Per Hour, I mean is there any PRR trackage left that a train could reach that speed on?
Let's be honest here, #5550 isn't gonna get to 140 mph. Mallard is the queen and will stay that way
@@HyperCat72 don't say things like that you'll only start crap.
I believe they have a donor that's going to pay for a trip to the FRA test facility in Colorado. There isn't really any mainline trackage left in the US capable. At least not anywhere they'd be allowed to run.
At the FRA test facility in Pueblo, Colorado. Personally I am super excited once we see what 5550 will do. So many myths and rumors that remained unproven until 5550's time to shine. Plus I am all for 5550 to break the world speed record for a steam locomotive. Nothing against Mallard as it is a very significant steam locomotive, but I feel she doesn't deserve the title since it was going downhill when it did the record and had a mechanical issue soon after. The PRR T1 on the other hand is a true steam speed demon considering PRR and Baldwin had speed in mind when it came to the design. Not to mention the large boiler, smokebox, the duplex drivers and streamlining are key components for a steam locomotive like the T1's achieve such high speed. If 5550 becomes a success, it could potentially open new doors for future builds of extinct American steam locomotives in the US, as the A1 Trust's Tornado locomotive has spawned other builds of extinct locomotives in England.
Wooooooo! Woooo! Woooooooowwooooowwwoooooooo!!!
earlier: alright so the whistle is done now and we need a locomotive to test it on.
I swear this exact same whistle was on one of Cass Scenic Railroad's Shays. Unless there's another of the same type of whistle floating around someplace in the wild
It's still an awesome whistle, regardless, and I can't wait to hear it on the T1 herself in a few years
woooooo woooooo woo woooooot
I want this whistle as an audio file for trainz
Awesome video friend
That explains the T1 whistle on 1309
Nice
Also to be honest i thought this is a new video of T1
How’s The T1 going? Any new updates?
Frame design is wrapping up. The trust needs our help to fund the frame construction now.
😊👍👍👍
I need to know does this engine have two whistles or does it get a different whistle on certain occasions because I’ve seen a few videos where this engine had a different whistle on a certain event and back when it used to be a Chesapeake and Ohio engine
I wonder when you get the 6 Chime Whistle for the 5550
Is this whistle vintage or made for the #5550?
Fuck yea
Sounds like LIRR 39 and PRR 1361
Its essentially the signature Pennsy whistle, considering LIRR was associated with the Pennsy for quite a long time, and nothing more to be said about those K4s Pacifics...
Sounds like Texas State Railroad 400
Just an idea but I think if you updated the diagram of how complete the locomotive is more on your website you might get more donations it hasn’t been updated since January and I was starting to wonder if the project had gone dead for a while
It has not gone dead. The reason the chart updates every once in a while is that, the trust is working on making the major parts of the locomotive, such as the frame that is the next major component of the locomotive. Patience is the right virtue.
Now to get it on the full T1. Say, am I the only one who is having trouble getting in contact with the Trust?
The T1 is being built obviously.
It's Tweetsie Railroad 190's & Durango & Silverton 473's Whislte
No, it’s clearly a Pennsy T1 whistle. 3 locomotives can’t have the same whistle. They may sound similar, but this whistle is from an original T1 locomotive.
Western Maryland? What happened to Chesapeake & Ohio?
Both merged into Chessie with the B&O
The C&O engine is owned by the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, so almost everything they own has been repainted to reflect the Western Maryland. Same went with their old 2-8-0, which was an LS&I engine, with a NYC tender, all painted to be Western Maryland.
Location??
Cumberland, Maryland
I'm just wondering how is the progress is going, it's almost hafe a year
They're drawing up and testing designs for the frame as we speak.
@@Railfan105. that's great news, can't wait for the day she would move under her own power in the future
This is a Pennsylvania mallet not maryland
The locomotive was originally a C&O Mallet.
Where is the T1 gonna be assembled?
As of this time, the trust hasn’t announced where it will be assembled. The trust has been given two or three options. When the boiler and the frame are ready to be put together, that’s when they’ll probably announce where to assemble the locomotive.
That's sound wright....guess testing with compressed air don't make it sound wright..got to be compressed steam air to make it sound wright .
what kind of whistle is this?
Pennsy 3 Chime whistle.
@@TranscontinentalRailfanthanks
100th comment
Why not use a *pensy 3 chime whistle* ?
That is a Pennsy 3 Chime whistle.
@@TranscontinentalRailfan hmmMM?!?!
@@SamutheHamu it is a pennsy 3 chime.
i have a name for the t1......... technoblade
Yeah! I agree we love technoblade
