    I wish they could have restored the 6 chime whistle but after so many years of hard use it started to wear down, don’t get me wrong the 3 chime Hancock whistle sounds phenomenal and every year after thanksgiving day to December 18th or so, during the polar express rides I hear that 3 chime SP4449 whistle from my house in Portland Oregon, it puts a smile of my face when I hear that roaring whistle that echoes, What a magnificent majestic steamer she is.

      if 4449 still had it's 6 chime whistle with him he would still sound good I mean don't get me wrong the Hancock 3 chime like @per-michaeljamburg said it sounds phenomenal I just wish they had kept the 6 chime with it😔

      ​@@VonVittoThe whistle was stolen. If it wasn't, the 4449 would still have it. As of now, it was found, restored, and put on ATSF 2926. It will most likely be used on 4449 when it runs next.

      @@hoscalemadness IF it runs next. Amtrak's not supporting steam excursions as of at least 7 years ago, and 4449's no longer hauling the Holiday Express because of its immense size and weight over the trackage that's often used for those trains. As of now the best ORHF could possibly do is steam her up on occasion and offer short rides within the ORHF grounds. Not to mention that currently, her water tender is being used by Canadian Pacific 2816 in conjunction with her own.

    For all of you who don't know the horn is a Leslie A-200 which all GS-4's had if fog comes or if people don't hear the steam whistle. Personally the A-200 is most fitting on the GG1's which were electric locos built from 1934-1941.

    You may have heard this from others, but as a 4449 nerd, I can’t help it. Would’ve commented it in one of the previous 500 times I rewatched it, but I was caught up in the whistles - how could one not be?
    Just wanted to say that the Northern Pacific Chime (third whistle in this video) was actually used from 1990-2009, and that the third clip you gave for the "NP Chime" (also the third clip of "SP 4449 Wishram Trips w/ Amtk #156") was actually taken in 2011 after the SP Chime (2010-2012) began to croak and squeak continuously, and even when it didn’t, still had a higher and rougher tone. The three clips that followed are of the same whistle, just days before its condition severely worsened.
    Nonetheless, this video is absolutely amazing and I truly love each and every scene in it! Well done!

      @Railfan105. 3 года назад +1

      The horn does serve a couple of purposes though. In fog, which California has a lot of, whistles perform a lot poorer than normal. The same goes when a locomotive goes at a high enough speed. The Milwaukee Road had a streamliner service with A class steam locomotives that were only equipped with air horns. While i totally agree with you, it does seem to have a purpose.

    I like the 1976 and the early 1990s whistle the best. And I also really wish they still had that CB&Q whistle on the fireman’s side. I really don’t like how the 4449 was redone when the ORHS got ownership of it. But hey, at least my favorite steam locomotive still get fired up and runs!

    • @southernpacificproductions530
      @southernpacificproductions530  4 года назад +2

      The ORHF doesn't own 4449, The City of Portland owns the engine. And it's cared for by the Friends of the Sp 4449 inc. The ORHF was formed to have a home for Portland's steam locomotives. And whistle on the fireman's side was actually a Southern Pacific 6 chime whistle. I believe the whistle on the engine right now was from a scrapped SP Daylight. So it's technically accurate.

    • @rivitedrailfan
      @rivitedrailfan 4 года назад

      Southern Pacific Productions oh okay. I heard on a movie by Mark 1 Videos they put a CB&Q whistle on it for the San Jose Railfair 1998 event. I still like those whistles the most just because Those are the whistles I hear when I think of 4449, since they were on there for the videos I first saw of 4449. I don’t like how they painted 4449 though. Or how they replaced the double-bulb mars light. Sure, the tender saying Southern Pacific Lines is accurate, but it wasn’t for 4449, it always had Southern Pacific on the orange stripe until the late 90s. But that’s my opinion. And it’s still my favorite engine.

    • @southernpacificproductions530
      @southernpacificproductions530  4 года назад +3

      @@rivitedrailfan She's my favorite engine too. The Southern Pacific Lines on the tender, and the number boards being in the front are actually accurate for 4449. When 4449 was first delivered to the Southern Pacific in 1941, that is how it looked. That is why it's called the "as delivered" scheme. The SP later modified the paint scheme to 4449's 1981-1999 appearance. And yes they did put a CB&Q whistle on it for the 1998 railfair. Personally I think I prefer the SP lines on the tender, but I wouldn't mind if they returned it to it's 1990 appearance.

    • @rivitedrailfan
      @rivitedrailfan 4 года назад +1

      Southern Pacific Productions I didn’t know that. If I remember, I saw a book of 4449 showing it before the freedom train with Southern Pacific in the middle. Maybe they changed it a little while before it was retired? I don’t know. I just like the 1978-1990s paint scheme a bit more, looks more natural to me. But then again, that’s how I first saw it. But thank you for telling me this, I know quite a bit of history behind this engine, but I never knew that! I don’t want to make it look like I don’t like Portland for changing it, because I don’t dislike them for it. I’m just glad it hasn’t been retired like so many other mainline steam, like 3985, 3472, or 614.

    • @southernpacificproductions530
      @southernpacificproductions530  4 года назад +1

      @@rivitedrailfan Southern Pacific did eventually change the look of 4449. They moved the number boards back to the center so it was much easier to see the train number. They did this before they took off the side skirts and painted it black. I am also glad 4449 has not been retired. Few preserved steam locomotives have as much history behind it like 4449 has.
