- This is the second part of the Fairwell trip. A farewell to the Western Maryland F's was run on September 01, 1979. We catch the train on the ex-B&O in Maryland. WM 7173-7163 did the honors, and the 7173 was fitted with two different 5 chime horns that sounded outstanding! Maybe some horn fan can fill us in with what type horns where on these units. I have searched everywhere, but could not find other videos of this fine trip to Harpers Ferry and return. I am certainly glad I got a change to film, and experience this trip with good friends. These clips where taken with a Kodak 8mm sound movie camera on 9/01/1978. The link to part one is below.

that m5 has to be the best sounding horn I've ever heard, wow
Western Maryland fitted its cab units with dual Leslie S-5Ts and Nathan M5s. North were typically all bells forward. That made for one hell of a sound
Classic video. The =WM= is by far my favorite railroad. So great to see historical runs as this preserved. The WM knew how to pick horns, that's for sure!
There's something about these old train films that's so much better than watching modern videos.
Prob nostalgia
Wow wonderful. Great film.🤠🐻🐼😀
That M5 can really scream!!!
Thank you, once again for sharing these treasures. I love these old films.
august 30, 1979 i was at washington station photoing the RS!s.
when a northbound coal drag went by with a chessie,C&O blue, and these 2 F7s.
we chased the drag shooting it 2 times, but had to stop to continue the trip south.
i photoed the last freight action of WMs F7s, and it was typically,,,, a coal drag.
1 of these 2 F7s suffered a traction motor failure on this passenger trip.
this passenger trip was for the NRHS convention in baltimore.
Burly sounding M5 on the 7173. Great videos
That's point of rocks MD, I used to go their often to watch trains. Wow does it look different now. Thanks for the video
@csxt6573 Yes its true, but it was the trailing unit 7163. We had heard it down there, even before it got to us that 7163 burned up a traction motor. In the last clip, the unit was shut down, and I believe it was the last trip it ever made, and was retired afterwards. Thanks for watching....
@LotusbandicootRR I know what your saying. It so nice seeing what use to run years ago, compaired to everything looking the same today. Thanks for watching...
Cool ! I like how it went right in that hole ( tunnel ) !
GOD bless you .
What a great part two! Ive been waiting for this video. That M5 up top is killer. Thanks for uploading for us all.
Glad that one WM F7 is preserved in Baltimore
Terrific video.
AWESOME!!!
Nice horn indeed
You know what's funny is that the horns sound kind of like a k5lla
Are there any other known recordings of the horn that sounds in the very first few seconds of this video?
Maybe the horns are either a Nathan M5 or Leslie S5D.
Nathan M5, Nathan K5la.
Uh huh huh huh yeah haha hahaha wowwwwwww
One sounds like a M5
I thought I heard once that this trip, on the return leg, took the life of the 7173. Any truth to that?
That K5 doesn't sound right. It's still a pretty good sound even though it may be fouled.
It might be Alex. Thanks for watching...
@@1jackdk It sounds to me like the audio was slowed or pitched down somehow, sounds more natural when I speed it up in audacity slightly
The horn at the beginning was a fouled k5L and the other one, well... you know..
***** I know that. The horn from 0:01 to 0:07 was a K5L, the horn from 0:08 to 0:21 is an M5
The WM F7's were the last to be retired by Chessie from revenue freights, no? I think most of B&O's were traded off in the early to mid 70's.
WM F7s were the last intact F unit fleet in the us.
B&O F7s at the later part of their life,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,looked terrible.
Very interesting video - I really do miss the F7's - I wish many of them would still be in active service today (with the exception of the museums that is) :P
