W&W: A Cabride For Christmas! 

First to view, rate, comment, and favorite! This video was awesome and well put together. There's nothing like watching the fireman shovel coal into the firebox. The outside scenes you got were just stunning too.

From what I was told, #98 wore a whistle like that when she was down south. Those deeper whistles were common in the Southern states.

Dat Nathan 3 chime! Awesome!

Another superb video, just oozes atmosphere, that chime whistle is just the best.

The whistle is a WM J1 Hancock 3 Chime Very nice ;)

The tracks on the W&W are not steady curves or a 100% clear ROW. You're taking a 100+ year old steam engines through the most dense forests of Delaware on a uphill grade following a creek. Not to mention the track goes from 90 pound rail to 120 pound back to 90 pound and so on for miles at a time. If anything were to go wrong, they wouldn't have the time, money or track workers these big tourist railways do. The W&W is for a relaxing, fun journey in beautiful woods. Not a giant race track.

Wow that is a nice video. The W&W do have some nice equipment and for some reason the railroad reminds me of Strasburg.

And her normal whistle is a 3 chime whistle that came off of a factory in Wilmington.

Great Video! LOve 98's Whistle!!!

wow what a great whistle on there great video to

Epic train video!!!

Sweet ride! Nice description ;-)P

great video!

surprised I never saw you that day, considering I was volunteering that day.

there is talk of restoring a Big Boy,but 4 now its just talk,the museum whats 3 piece's in place of it,#4014 is the one in question,i watched a video on you tube about it,some don't believe it will come 2 pass,it may not.

No. It was labeled in the video as a Lehigh Valley 3 Chime, which is what it is.

That whistle sounds like Heber valley 75

nothin like watchin the fireman shovel coal

i was standing on the bridge the next day when it went by or the next year I'm not sure but I tell ya it was cold out there

i don't see any, im sure if there was. the crew probably did not notice.

Incorrect. B&O museum has the WIlliam Mason, there are numerous 3' 4-4-0's in regular service aswell.

it my friends fahers whistle. it's not always on ther b/c it wont make it under the bridge near hockessin. you said his name at the end (steve jenson)

Because keeping the door open while shoveling all that coal was necessary why?

It's an SW-900.

They go slow on these trips so Santa can see all the kids.

How do you miss a tall blonde haired kid with a red cap? =P You musta been busy.

What state is this RailRoad Located in? Cause i might make a visit there when i get time during the summer

oh a leaf in the coal, now that i did see

I'm no expert on steam whistles, but I do question whether that whistle is actually a Lehigh Valley 3 chime. In a video released over a year ago (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EOunPrGYrBw.html), Reading & Northern #425 ran a private steam charter while wearing a Lehigh Valley 3 chime. Not only is there a substantial difference in sound between the whistle #425 is wearing in that video & the whistle #98 is wearing in this video, but the whistle #425 is wearing appears to have shorter chambers, whereas the whistle #98 is wearing clearly has longer chambers. That being said, the whistle that #98 is wearing in this video does sound similar to when R&N #425 wore a Lehigh & New England 3 chime (which does have longer chambers). Here's a video of #425 with the L&NE 3 chime: (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nTmx22L-6sE.html). I'm curious to see what anyone has to say about everything I just said.

Was the Diesel engineeded?

they go 10-15 miles per hour and there equipment is very valuable those cars are hard to find and 98 is the only 4-4-0 in service on the east coast...
