Dollywood Express Early October 2012

On a rain filled,foggy day in October 2012, we headed to Dollywood to catch EX-WP&Y #70 working in the rain. Whistle is a Hancock 3 chime Steptop (High Pressure) Copyright 2012 Jeff Hunsaker

I miss that on 70 I wish we could get it back or try it out on 192

[@realethanangell]

I remember #70 wore an IC Steamboat whistle which is a long bell whistle. It sounds quite similar to the Hancock.

[@dtiman]

Great video! Great sounds! I have an audio recording of an identical whistle from Cass in W. Va. in 1982!

[@derekmaine]

Hi. Fantastic shots.

[@PennRailVideos]

Nice video, nice whistle!

[@JMcolts95]

Great video as usual!!! 70 sure sounds good!!

[@288jh]

[@shay29772003]

[@conductorjereocheerio]

I love trains, especially this one! Awesome video man! Love it!

[@--marshy--]

[@FullMagicJacket]

Dude, this video is like, fucking awesome!

[@JoshRyanScott]

fantastic!

[@BillySinnz]

I love that shot starting at about 7:30

[@BlueCometProductions]

That Hancock sounds awfully familiar...

[@mintyisfresh6909]

it sounds like the 4014 big boy

[@haegenbyrne]

what whistle was that

[@288jh]

Thaks, would have been alot better if there wasn't a tree right in the middle of that field.

[@easttenn.fireboxproduction3329]

How’d you get shots along the route? I know it was 4 Year’s ago but not that much could have changed

[@Cwilliam1999]

9:26 that was me waving on the train (last car)

[@TechBrosGamingChannel]

Cwilliam lol.

[@thomasgrosse3406]

ALABAMA 2019 I care asshole

[@thomasgrosse3406]

Is it just me or does this sound a lot like 611

[@MidwesternRailfan]

Same kind of whistle (Hancock 3 Chime) although different notes. This one sounds lower.

[@thomasgrosse3406]

Midwestern Railfan ah, makes sense.

[@MidwesternRailfan]

The Hancock 3 Chime is my favorite type of whistle. Especially the one used on SP&S 700 and Union Pacific 844. I also like the one on Union Pacific 4014. They just sound so heavenly.

[@TravisDGordon]

Sounds like 70 needed to have some cylinder packing replaced

[@SteelKatana24]

That whistle really does sound familiar...couldn't be similar to the one on a certain, famous N&W J-Class 4-8-4 could it?

[@Cwilliam1999]

I think dollywood as got some explaining to do.

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

I just asked on the train's Facebook. It wasn't 611's, but one of the other Js.

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

Scratch that. It's 734's original Hancock. Western Maryland also used this style. It is the one that is now owned by Al Cunningham, Dollywood's senior engineer.

[@TNRailProductions_01]

I know Al

[@TNRailProductions_01]

Tri-Cities railfan, have you by chance been to chandler farms??????

[@kevinvance1172]

Awesome!

[@rileysanesh9238]

When 70 was running Where was 192 then

[@TechBrosGamingChannel]

In the shed probably being cleaned and rebuilt like they normally do on rotation

[@PABackyardRevivals]

Idk why but it looks like an ebt locomotive

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

Well it and the EBT mikados are the same type of locomotive. They are both Baldwin 12-28 1/4e class engines. The only differences are that the EBT engines have been modified to have Southern valve gear instead of the standard Walschaerts gear.

[@pathall7641]

That dont sound like a hancock.....sounds more like a steamboat whistle

[@charlesdell2864]

How many steam locomotives does Dollywood have and run?

[@dollywoodrailfan1051]

2

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

They have three, but they only run two of them. They have 70 and 192 operational, and 71 as a spare parts engine.

[@mrdjf2010]

wow 999 views .... coolly random :)

[@288jh]

Thank you.
