Tweetsie Railroad: #190 With a New Whistle 5-11-2024.
It's National Train Day, and we made our way back to Tweetsie Railroad to see the 190 again. She put on a fantastic show as per usual, and we hope to see it many more times to come.
There were quite a few things different that caught our immediate attention:
*190 (hence the title of the video) has a new whistle. The new whistle is a 6" diameter transitional style Crosby 3 chime. The whistle sounded amazing, and we hope to hear it again someday.
The differences between this Crosby and the normal one are:
- The nut on top signifies it's a transitional style Crosby (meaning it was made between 1896 and 1904). The other one is a new style Crosby (meaning it was made either in 1904 or after).
- The other one is stamped "Gift of Southern Railway." The new one is not.
*Car 4 is back from refurbishment. It's absolutely beautiful both inside and out.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Yukon Queen and her new voice!

A perfect combination. A beautiful sounding whistle on a beautiful steam locomotive.

Awesome New Whistle

[@TrainfanProduction]

That thing has gotten so many whistles changes with less then 5 years this when is certainly the best though

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

I wonder how long they’ll keep that one on for.

[@lisapayton6070]

Love the new whistle its awesome 😊

The whistle reminds me of the 2018 whistle that 190 had.

[@Equus77-ht3do]

Oh yeah it was called the Jesse hoyles Crosby

[@jacobrobinson6603]

Thats what I've been saying man

[@jlvanboc]

Is it just me or does the new whistle sound a little bit like East Broad Top #14's whistle?

[@stevensainerailfanproductions]

Little bit

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

That’s because EBT 16 wears a transitional style Crosby 3 chime very similar to the one on 190. The only difference is that 16 runs at a boiler pressure of 200 PSI, while 190 runs at 185 PSI.

[@UPchallenger3985]

It does for sure

[@pinchy08]

This Crosby whistle sounds the same as the other.

[@christopherjamieson1668]

Actually, the whistle is higher pitch.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

The one in this video plays a different chord than the regular Southern Crosby.

[@Cwilliam1999]

Honestly it’s sounds like the same thing as the old whistle

[@stevensainerailfanproductions]

Oh no it isn't lol

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

The tones are slightly higher than the Southern Railway Crosby.

[@Cwilliam1999]

I went back to a video from last year the difference is in the tone.

[@RichmondVirginiaadventures]

It sounds like Jesse holes 3 chime

[@Ian-qs3fz]
