On this beautiful early Fall day, we ventured to the Strasburg Railroad to hear #89’s screaming former PRR banshee whistle. Many of the smaller PRR freight steamers had whistles like this. We get a few runbys hearing this spine tingling whistle. The “Ghost Whistle” sequence that the Strasburg Railroad has been doing for so many years was the best I’ve ever heard. The whistle echo heard reverberated widespread. Later in the day we headed over to Sinking Spring on NS and caught a couple of trains, one with a rare SD40E leading a local. We also meet an enthusiastic young man who is one of the great staff of the Strasburg Railroad. Like me, he is a horn and whistle freak 😀😀

The whistle on the steam locomotive was what I think of when I think of a steam train whistle.

Wow! I can see (Hear?) why they call it a "banshee" whistle, it really sounds weird, etherial, and otherworldly. No wonder those old PRR Irish enginemen called it a banshee! It probably reminded them of something they'd just as soon would have forgotten. I'm really impressed with #89's pulling power, eight heavyweight cars! Not too shabby! Thanks for bringing us along!

The Strasburg also runs some freight on that line and connects with NS in Paradise. I like watching those moves on the live cam they have over there.

My best friend lives just west of Lampeter, about 5 miles west of the Strasburg RR. Every time I come north to visit, I usually spend a bit of time at the Strasburg depot, watching the goings-on, stopping in their store and sometimes having lunch at the Casey Jones restaurant (at the Red Caboose). I think the Strasburg is the best-run tourist RR in the country, but I still wish they could build a wye in Paradise so they wouldn't have to run the locomotives backwards!

If they did that, they would run fewer trips. They would have to charge more to make the same revenue.

Upper Harrisburg line is the most traffic for the best action. Very nice you went out. M404 had NYC trailing and Four CM40-8(C40-8W) to Selkirk last night. Not sure what would do up there.

I was there in the spring. Enjoyed the train and station surroundings. Maybe it’s because of the Jewish holiday because there are 4 or 5 times the people on October 3 than when I went.

Nice video Tim. Too bad the light didn't hold out. I caught the Conrail Heritage Unit on a train outside of Altoona, but it would have gotten there after dark. Today was similar to your experience...shot the Everett Railroad steam special, then went to the Pittsburgh Line and it was dead all afternoon.
