I wish I got to ring th 4006s bell and the 2156s bell as well they are 2 of my favorite locomotives and the museum and also 2933, 1522 and 5011s bell too
Very nice video, some of those I really wanted to ring back when I was still in St. Louis, very glad to see somebody finally did this. Best too ya man and keep up the good work!
Looking back it’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since 1522 was retired back in 2002 when the rise of insurance couldn’t allow the St. Louis steam train association to renew her boiler certification if that didn’t happen can you imagine how different things would’ve looked If 1522 was still in operation I would do anything to see this Frisco Philly return to service course you would have to do a lot more than just raise money to rebuild her you would have to re-acquire her water car from the Age of Steam Roundhouse and all of her passenger cars
I'm with ya all the way, @TexasRailfan21 I do wanna see Frisco 1522 run again for a third life. :) After all.... many in the railfan community want that to happen considering when she was the ONLY operating 4-8-2 Mountain Type in the United States. :)
@@jimmyhook4852 that is true she was America’s only operating mountain type locomotive even though she wasn’t equipped with a feed water heater she did have a booster treck on her trailing truck, which gave her additional power to pull along passenger trains, which came in handy when departing East St. Louis on the Illinois side after waiting for the bridge to clear on a Norfolk Southern excursion
Man if only you'd rang the bell on nkp 170 too. I've got a trio of brass nkp L1 hudsons in HO and I'm gonna be making a custom decoder for one using the sound of 175's whistle recorded in 1958.
If you ever get permission, you could get up close to 4460, I actually got to see her up close along with CNW 1015 during a Trip to the National Museum of Transportation during Christmas, man, I miss those times
(Double commenting cause I can :3) Of course... personally love that the 1522 clip was first. X3 And like you said here: "BIG DISCLAIMER: I was allowed to film these shots when the museum was closed. Please do not try to climb into cabs or on the locomotives on your own." That's what I hope to do by following your advice so I can fulfill that on My No. 1 Favorite Steam Locomotive. ^^
The bell doesn’t have a rope to the cab, and when I got up to move the clapper it wouldn’t budge. Guess it has something to do with the bell being air operated.
Thank you for ringing 1522’s bell it was my recently deceased great grandfather’s favorite engine 😊
i *apologize* for your loss
You aren’t the only one I love 1522

@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan Indeed :D
Why not just take her to IRM one day to reunite with stablemate 1630 even if she isn’t steam?

Also Alton and southern 12 and wabash 573
I have a train bell #2622 ,any information on the train
If you ever get permission, you could get up close to 4460, I actually got to see her up close along with CNW 1015 during a Trip to the National Museum of Transportation during Christmas, man, I miss those times
After the ringing of the bells, I wish to hear steam from those locomotives 🚂

Wonder if anyone has ever gotten to blow #1522's whistle on air before? Also this week marked 20 years since her final run in 2002.
Wait you can do that? I know other locos have that, but it’s hooked up to air?
No, but they might in 2026
Imagine if there was a video of this but for the whistles
Interesting that out of all of them shown in the video, only 2 of them can have their bells be rung during when the museum is open. ^^
How come you didn’t ring the bell of UP 4006?
Why does 5011's bell sound like that?
must have bin years since most of those train bells rang
why does 5011 have that tape on her dinger?
Back when the cab was open the tape was added so that bell would be quieter when people were trying to talk.
@@CNW1015 ruclips.net/video/UGV2uGGSHcI/видео.htmlsi=4or4iqNgN7OofxhZ you can also hear 5011 in background
I wonder if they can get all the whistles and horns on air compressors......it would sound beautiful
I heard that it might be possible but who knows
@@CNW1015 railgiants does that and has for decades
@@threepea1151 And yes... that did apply to Big Boy 4014 back when he was still on display there. ^^
Lackawanna 952's bell sounds like Western Maryland 734's bell.
Cool I like all the bells
0:52 that bell is nowhere to be seen!
The 952 is a camelback so the bell is behind the engineer’s cab
You see we call this the ring and run
That's when you run up to a diesel that has a bell on the chassie ring it once and run
@@OldIronVideo I do the proper ring and run, climb up in cab, ring, drop out, book it
@@cnwproductions i did that at the nmot
The bella of 4006 and 4460 were ringable if you didnt know
Bell’s from 573, 551, and a CN steamer would be nice
How did you get up into those cabs when I looked there was no stair case into those engines
I work at the NMOT
Oh
Chicago elevated 9s bell sounds similar to WKS 2.
Oh wow, who works at the museum that lets you ring these?
And how did you not ring 573? I mean it’s cab is on ground level
The bell doesn’t have a rope to the cab, and when I got up to move the clapper it wouldn’t budge. Guess it has something to do with the bell being air operated.
@@CNW1015 that’s suprising
0:42 sounds like a clock tower bell
Frisco 1522 is the loudest bell and more fixed
1:36 2:22 sounds the same
Maybe a little
Frisco 1522
Sounds like 5011’s bell needs to be lubricated
No it’s just that a piece of tape was added because it couldn’t block talking from employees
Where is this?
National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri.
Hey Stopping please!
What?
isnt that legal? 🤔
He got it with permission
