The sounds of the East Broad Top Narrow Gauge Railroad. Each engine on the E.B.T. has its own whistle, this video gives you and idea of what each sounds like, and how they are different from eachother. Some of the photos you see are from my collection, others are from the E.B.T web site or online source.

1:13 Let's be honest 14 whistle will always be the best and beautiful whistle on the EBT if you disagree your probably lying to yourself
17's whistle truly sounds like the ghost engine of the ebt.
No. 12 is my favorite. Millie is adorable, and the Hancock short bell 3 chime she wears suits her well. Much better than the big Nathan 6 chime she was delivered with.

I find it really interesting how all 6 mikados have their own signature whistle, pretty neat if you ask me.
@cameron james They skipped #13 simply due to superstition. As for 1-11, they were scrapped well before steam days ended when the railroad learned the 2-8-2 was the superior wheel type on the line
Back in those days, some railroads believed the number 13 was unlucky.
It's not just the days of yore either, ex-ATSF 666 was renumbered 599 by BNSF to avoid superstition, although that might have been more to avoid complaints to the company about the unit sporting the mark of the devil.
Don't forget about the standard gauge 3 and 6
It did say 11 got sold to the us navy and nothing else and I figured it got scrapped turns out I was right
@@vincentberkan605 and 19 was skipped also
In my opinion, 18 has the best whistle. Not saying I don’t like the others.
TheBlueComet832 i can respect that. I feel the same way about 17.
Aspirial_Cyndrus [GM&M] Yeah. You can imagine what her whistle sounded like beside the squeakiness.
TheBlueComet832 did you know that 15 was sporting 17’s whistle in 17’s audio?
I agree. 18 sounds the nicest. Out of all of them, I think the Nathan 6 Chime sounds the best, but don't know if it is still there or how great it would sound on a small NG 2-8-2
17 is my favorite loco. But I think 15 has the best whistle.
Donald Stinnett 14 has the best whistle
@Adam Cartwright I just cant stand the squeak it has. Almost seems to me like its cracked or something. Kind of like how nkp 587 once had a cracked whistle which sounded awful.
Wonder if #18 will run after they open up again? I think I had read that she wasn't really ran after EBT became a tourist attraction.
Same, 17 and 16 have the best tho
@@ConductorDon they are confirming they will restore all 6 to operation. 16 and 14 are first, then 15 and 18, the next two, and 17 and 12 the last
#14 is my favorite
I like 15 whistle 17 whistle is super loud and sounds like a Girl screaming
Best to least

None are truly the worst. Just the least pleasant. Only when they’re tuned poorly that’s when they sound terrible
12’s Original Baldwin 6 Chime is my favorite.

18’s whistle is easily my favorite!
E.B.T 16 my favorite
Love the#14
How many of the engines still exist ?
6 narrow gauge mikados and 2 standard gauge 0-6-0s.
Top 3 = 14 > 12 > 18
Bottom 3 = 16 > 15 > 17
14 my favorite
14's whistle sound like Strasburg 89 but in a higher pich.
Yes it could be similar to it!
15s whistle was booming in the early 1990s. Doesn’t sound proper due to being worn out. Definitely needs a clean and tuneup.
17 sounds like it’s being over blown
12's sounds like 425's prr 3 chime
What type of whistle does #17 have?
It sounds similar to a Pennsylvania Railroad Banshee whistle, which is a 1 chime.
But honestly it sounds like the whistle is corrupted, you can almost make out a softer sound just as it starts and stops, sometimes after many years of service whistles will get warped and worn down, and it'll sometimes create a sickly effect, Number 15's whistle is a good example, after being used for so many years, it has gotten worn down and now makes this unpleasant squawking sound instead of the melodic tune it's supposed to have.
A squeaky Baldwin 3 Chime!
Number 17's whistles was made for a model more like 16, and it broke. Number 17 had a "superheated steam" boiler, meaning the steam was repressurized and fed through the boiler once more. The higher pressure and temperature steam from the boiler ended up cracking the non-optimized whistle of the train, causing the screeching sound. Hope this helps.
Personally, I would replace 17's whistle with a reproduction Reading sixer.
15 is my favorite one
2:08 the best one in my opinion

What whistle is on 15
+David Andrews Crosby 5 inch 3 chime
I think part of the reason it sounds so different to the other engines, which all seem to have pretty standard 3 chime whistles, is because number 15 has been the "flagship" loco of the railroad since it was reopened in the 60s, so it's whistle has had by far the most use and therefore the most wear of all the engines on the line.
I'm sure if you were to inspect the boiler, it too would show signs of decay, much more so than the other locomotives that have seen comparably much less service.. or have simply not been restored to operation yet.
where is east broad top number 13?, or EBT # 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11?
The East Broad Top actually had multiple engines for certain numbers; altogether, the railroad owned 25 steam engines, including six standard gauge engines to work the interchange with the Pennsylvania Railroad. The 13 narrow gauge engines that preceded the mikados and which are no longer on the line were as follows, in order of their acquisition:
Number 1: Baldwin-built 2-6-0, originally intended to be Cairo and St. Louis number 20 (some sources state 12, but the Baldwin records say it was 20) acquired new from Baldwin, and sold to the neighboring Tuscarora Valley Railroad by means of an equipment dealer in 1911. Scrapped 1922.
(First) Number 2: Baldwin-built 2-6-0, copy of number 1 ordered in 1873. Sold in 1890, and known to be extant as of 1911, fate unknown, presumed scrapped. No known photographs survive of this engine.
(First) Number 3: Baldwin-built 2-8-0, originally ordered in 1873 by the Denver & Rio Grande as their number 13 but rejected likely due to the long wheelbase and sold to the East Broad Top. Sold in 1911 to the Tuscarora Valley Railroad via an equipment dealer; believed to have blown a cylinder within weeks of arriving on the TV, its tender was used with ex-EBT 1; scrapped 1917.
(First) Number 4: Baldwin-built 2-8-0 copy of first number 3, delivered in 1874 and off the roster in 1894, believed scrapped. Considered to be a bad luck engine due to the number of accidents it was involved in.
(First) Number 5: Baldwin-built 2-8-0 copy of first number 3, delivered in 1874 and off the roster about 1895, believed scrapped. No known photos survive of this engine, and its career was so wholly unremarkable that only records of its acquisition, construction, and disposal survive.
(First) Number 6: Baldwin-built 0-6-0T meant to work the Mount Union Yard delivered in 1875. Sold in 1900, and known to be extant as of 1908; fate unknown, presumed scrapped. No known photographs survive.
Number 7: Baldwin-built 2-8-0 delivered in 1881, identical to the C-19 class operated by the D&RG. Sold to the Ohio River and Western in 1913, and scrapped upon the closure of that road in 1931. Most powerful engine on the roster until the arrival of the mikados.
Number 8: Baldwin-built 4-6-0 purchased in 1887 to handle iron ore traffic on the Shade Valley branch. Sold to the Oak Grove and Georgetown Railroad in Alabama in 1913. Fate unknown, presumed scrapped.
Number 9: Baldwin-built 2-6-0 constructed in 1889 for the Coeur d'Alene Railway and Navigation Company in Idaho, and purchased by the EBT from them in 1892. Sold to a sugar company in Cuba in 1915, fate unknown. Given the propensity of engines used by Cuban sugar companies to survive into the 21st Century, I would not entirely discount the idea that it still exists.
(Second) Number 5: Baldwin-built 2-6-0, a loose copy of number 9 delivered in 1896. Differences from number 9 included a higher boiler pressure. Used until 1919, when it was stored at the shops complex in Orbisonia. It remained in storage until 1943. Its fate is unknown, but it was the height of World War II, so it was probably cut up for scrap.
(Second) Number 4: Baldwin-built 4-6-0 ten-wheeler similar to number 8 but with a higher boiler pressure and other differences built in 1901. It remained in use until 1927, when it was retired and placed into storage. It was sold for scrap in 1934.
(Third) Number 2: ALCo-Dickson built 0-4-0T constructed for H.S. Kerbaugh, a contractor, in 1903. Bought in 1906 by the Rockhill Furnace Company to switch the iron furnace served by the EBT, she was officially sold to the EBT in 1916 and operated until 1934 when she was scrapped. Following the closure of the furnace in 1909, she mostly worked as the shops and yard switcher in Rockhill/Orbisonia, and occasionally operated on the Shade Gap Branch.
Number 10: Baldwin-built 4-6-0 sister to (second) number 4, delivered in 1906 and sold to the Ohio River & Western in 1913. Scrapped in 1931.
Number 11: Baldwin-built 2-6-2 delivered in 1908. First EBT engine with a trailing truck; the larger firebox this permitted greatly improved steaming capabilities. The first mikado, number 12, was essentially a repeat of this engine with an added axle and some enlarged parts. Remained in use until 1943, when she was stored out of service. Most sources state she was off the roster in 1943, but there is positive evidence that she remained on the property out of use until 1946, at which time she was scrapped, though some believe she was sold to a line in South America.
As to the standard gauge engines, two survive: one, third number 6, is in Indiana in need of repair; the other one, third number 3, the last steam engine bought by the EBT, is still in the Mount Union engine house.
I hope this answers your question, though I apologize for the length of the answer. Just wanted to be thorough! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Woah.
Looks like not much of the pre-mike EBT roster survived to serve alongside them, and those that did ended up being scrapped during the war.
Interesting response, a good read, very factual if long.
So the EBT game on Roblox it has an engine numbered 11 what does that mean does that mean 11 was an engine on the EBT railroad but was the engine that fell when the turntable fell the one year
