Reading & Northern 425 vs. NKP 765 Whistle War

Reading & Northern 4-6-2 Pacific type #425 and the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society's Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 Berkshire type #765 salute each other with their whistles as the 765 charges towards Pittston.

765 Was Using Nathan 6 Chime & 425 Was Using A B&O 3 Chime. If anyone was wondering

425 may have the louder whistle but 765 has the deeper one.

[@maxwellsteam5810]

both whistles are equally loud, the video was recorded closer to 425

Why must we call it a whistle war? They're just two old friends chatting ;)

[@wolfzillaproductions4563]

Just imagine 2102 and 765 doing this now that 2102 is back under steam

[@WesternRailway1592]

1:03 sounds like 765's 2012 whistle

It would be awesome if 425 doubleheads with 765 in the future. Who agrees with me?

Thank you for sharing this! I had heard from the Twitter account during our trip that there was indeed a Whistle Salute on the way to Pittston, but I never found any video of it (and didn't hear it too well due to being on the train that day) I have to ask, do you know the exact time or timeframe it happened that day? I want to see if I have video of it while I was on the train. Thanks!!

765 Won Hands Down

425 was better at blowing though. Seems like they had more experience

[@kackdackel9170]

Why? Because she's bigger?

[@tomyrail7468]

@@kackdackel9170 no, is the whistle cord and how the engineer pulls on the cord
