My favorite type of ASMR

Spooky whistle, made even creepier with the echo.
they should really bring back 6755, considering 1351 is in pieces, and the other K4 is just spare parts that PRR threw together just before the Penn Central merger for display.
The M1 is the only engine that anyone would recognize that would look good for photo shoots and excursions alike.

I think it would be best if 1361, 3750 and 6755 could perform a tripleheader someday!

@@brianfalzon6739 Or a photo shoot with 1361 and 3750 on passenger trains and 6755 with a replica fast freight.

1361s being restored

[@roccotoothycombs]

the heck they didn't have a chance to bloom. They used them until the end in 1957 and i have family made videos from the 50's that shows them running in the Altoona area until the end.

[@megatwingo]

Nice photos and cool sound. Thumbs up! :)

[@Bassfanatic94]

Cool video! The M1's were an awesome breed of engines which never got their chance to really bloom.

[@Kanefan701]

they would become legendary with PRR though

[@mikehoare6093]

You what, mate ?!?!
They were one of their mainstays, especially as the consists grew heavier and K-4s got slower.

[@railwayfilms-xj4yg]

Great video

[@videobruceb8879]

It's NOT a "video", it's a bunch of stills.
