Steam Locomotive Whistles 

0:04: Pere Marquette 1225 0:51: Nickel Plate Road 765 1:10: New Hope & Ivyland 40 2:13: Black Hills Central Railroad 110 3:03: Reading & Northern 425 3:48: Strasburg 90 4:54: None

These always sound so haunting. the fact that it's air-based makes it feel almost like it's a breathing thing calling out

imagine having no idea steam engine trains existed and one day hearing that horrifying screaming sound and loud thuds like footsteps coming closer

My top 3 favorite sounds in the world 1 - An electric guitar 2 - Giant church bells 3 - Steam train whistles

Cool! I recognize the Jim Thorpe Lehigh Gorge station! Only about 50 minutes from me and of course Strasburg, an hour plus to my south. Love Jim Thorpe!

Just beautiful

Love that sound!

HELL YEAH. Steam locomotives have always been my BABIES.

I really want to be conductor I would love to get paid to drive trains it looks fun and you don’t have your boss yelling at you you’re all alone which I love I would love to be doing this for all my life being in a train Freight train going really fast with a lot of cars and cargo and fuel And making lots and lots of money I would love it listening to my own music and listening to author Guthrie New Orleans song

OMG, it's beautiful!

4:08 Playing echo tag with a locomotive whistle is oddly something I've never thought of before.

I like the echo 4:25

Hi MPT 1225 there was a Berkshire 2.0 pere Marquette 1225 if you want to buy it, get it at www.trainland.com

I love train horns and steam whistles! But I'm sorry but why do all these types sound like they're completely broken? The choice of notes is so incredibly bad with these ones. Ofcourse it's personal taste :)

3:33 why they wearing lab goggles for?

Steam Train 1225

Can you hear that?

❤️❤️❤️😢😢

😮😅😊🎉 من😂❤😊

It not scary it the train to to hogward

I don't think there is a man alive today who hasn't dreamed at least at one point in his childhood about piloting one of these beasts and blowing the whistle and ringing the bell.

My uncle's friend, Eric, told me about a train wreck on my uncle's property. In the winter of 1896 there was a steam engine that was late getting from Huntingdon to State College with the township of Spruce Creek along the route. On the property, there's woods and a ridge in the woods. On top of that ridge is a rusty OLD railroad. The train's number has been long forgotten since then, but the wreck resulted in no survivors, with only one whiteness. The train was going too fast when the brakes broke and the engineer blew the whistle as long as he could. The train hit a bend, derailed and plowed through the woods and the boiler exploded. Again, the wreck resulted in no survivors. The conductor, and the engineer were scalded to death by the steam, while the fireman (the guy who shoveled in the coal) was found burned to death IN the furnace. During a fire in the town hall, the records of the train wreck were burned and the story is only known because it has been passed down and told over and over again. Ever since I heard about the wreck of the forgotten train, there's something haunting about the sound of an old steam engine whistle.

Steam trains are living works of art

This makes me wanna cry cause it's such a good era coming to an end aka the steam era😢

Watching these mighty steel beasts in action is pure therapy. Modern engines look like electric shavers.

1:30 I know that train! I live about 20min away from where that train lives. She lives at the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad Station in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Glad to see that she made it into a RU-vid video and is being viewed by the world and not just people that live in the same area (and surrounding areas too) as her.

4:08 gives me chills every time with the echo

I love hearing trains coming by I wish we had the ones that whistles too I like the horn ones and the whistles 😁😁😁

Hearing a steam whistle is like listening to a very good song or piece of music, you can’t ever get enough of it!

BH&C 110's whistle is a true example of Polar Express spirit.

You're walking alone on an empty stretch of dirt road along the countryside. The air is slightly cold and there is a light, almost unperceptible breeze. Suddenly you hear a sound: "AWOOOOOOOAH- WO- WOOOOAH". You turn around and there it is. Big, dark, a thick cloud of black smoke coaling out of the chimney, a big yellow light in front of it, like a giant eye, its pistons making the iconic sound, "chukka chukka chukka chukka". It's an old 1940s steam engine, with its long tail of railroad cars behind it. I leave it up to you to decide wether the train you're looking at is irradiated by the sunlight, surrounded by green pastures and topped by a shining blue sky, or if it's a dark figure calling you from the darkness of the night, in a spot where you're sure there aren't any working railroad lines since before you were even born

Pere Marquette 1225 is my first favorite steam locomotive in the world. It's another existing steam locomotive. It was also a movie star engine from the movie, the Polar Express.

1:58, that guy was standing WAY too close!

Very romantic sounds from the past, beautiful video ❤

0:04 OMG!!! It's the The Polar Express!!!

2:33 longest sattle tank engine i have ever seen

Haunting! Misty eyed,,,bless them all,,gone but NOT forgotten! Well done good servants one and All.🚂

Love this. I come from a family of railroaders. So awesome!

I could watch this video all day long. Great video thank you so much for sharing. Thumbs up.

Greetings to steam train lovers like me... Mechanical monsters of the past. Unfortunately, we don't have any of these left in Turkey. It's a shame.

Steam locomotors, such marvelous juggernauts. 🥺❤️❤️

Riding on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central Monday morning rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail All along the southbound odyssey The train pulls out at Kankakee Rolls along past houses, farms and fields Passin' trains that have no name Freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles Good morning America how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor And the sons of pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep Are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel Good morning America how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Nighttime on the City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee Half way home, we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea But all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rail still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his songs again The passengers will please refrain This train got the disappearing railroad blues Good night, America, how are you? Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Nothing can replace them. Sooooo nostalgic 😊

These whistles are scary. Sounds like devils train. But the train is nice and cool.

I grew up in the Black Hills. 110 is one of my favorites

The whistle at 2:13 reminds me of the train whistle from RDR1. I think it's my favorite in this video too.

0:53 why does nkp 765 have nkp 757's whistle

The Sound that won the West.

great collection of whistles, new sub too

Noice video! 425 should've had the VGN 5.... Anyway i was waiting until all my rail fanning for 2018 is complete to do one

Well I give 1225 this, it has the bell of complete satisfaction

Also when 40 and 90 were build by Baldwin locomotive works they got placed with the same bell and basically the same whistle although 90's wheel arrangement is a 2-5-0 and 40 having the arrangement as a 2-4-0 they are very close sisters thank you for reading this and have a nice day

3:30’s it for me. Pennsylvania 3 chimes are quite possibly the best sounding whistles

YEAH BOI I LOVE 1225 YOUR MY FRIEND NOW

the first one they show is literally the polar express. that’s the train they based the train from the movie on.

More than the whistle I love the locomotive bell sounds 💛

Such a mournful cry and brings goosebumps! The time when steam engines ran on the mainlines is gone but never forgotten

I love trains and there sounds. 😊 they are beautiful machinery, and spectacular views are a bonus.

The first train remains me of that movie❤️ Polar Express🩵

Quite haunting . Thank you so much for giving us , we old men , something so familiar

Fun fact the first train is the Pete Marquette the train polar express eased based off both book and movie😊

My girlfriend sounds like this when she sleeps

0:23 DNA soundtrack

The most beautiful of steam engine whistles

Steam whistles sound so natural compared to the horns on diesels. Choo Choo!

1:43 Close your eyes, Listen. Sounds like Strasburg 90?

This is the ring tone to my phone

"Ya should've been in town when ol' Reuben's train came down, you could hear the whistle blowin' miles around".

Awesome video!! It is very relaxing, almost makes me sleepy.

There's a train running down the track to the junction Petticoat junction!!!! Come ride with me down to the junction Petticoat junction

3:36, goggles? Also ghost whistle.

This sound haunted so much in the childhood and i am sure it must have haunted so many in their childhood too....!

Train ASMR hits hard 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

“Clear the way! Pawpaw is here to show us how it’s done!”

This is the whistle that I've heard when I was child

That whistle the black train sounds like from Thomas and friends toby new whistle

I don't know why I keep finding it hard to accept that trains had absolutely no electrical components in their early development asides from the lights.

Oh looks like someone is copying me, Jk. Great job m8

Ah... The sweet sound of industrialisation.😌

Sounds like a living beast 😂 😂

i live by like 4 railroads and i hear trains all the time and now i’ve fallen down a rabbit hole about trains and horns lol

0:50 gotta be my favourite with the tracks slowly getting louder

I love the nostalgia of these engines but they really need to convert to a cleaner fuel!

3:05 he's trying to do the Once Upon a Time in the West harmonica

2:37 The Steam locomotive say waaaaaaaaaahhhhh

1:10 thought I was in Strasburg ngl

God I fucking LOVE Steam engines and their whistles.

I bet back in the day you could identify which engineer it was just by how he finessed the whistle.

With the price of fuel we might be going back to steam!

When Steam was king.

it is absolutely formidable, that is as if it comes to life❤

Modern trains are boring

Love steam locomotive’s can’t wait to see 3985 running again

I like trains.

Man I love all of these but I love the 1225 pere Marquette Lima 5 whistle, I’m also a little boast because I’ve road it twice and live very close to it

This gotta be so scary at night

Nickel Plate Road 765 is my favorite whistle

Such a beautiful train I am in love with the locomotive choo-choo train

1225 the steam loco used for the movie the polar express while it's a good Christmas movie it's very dark and such for the film and well yea

I miss these whistles 😊...In my childhood days I loved 😍 the sound of the train.
