Big Jim Video Productions (me) spent a weekend in the Cumberland/Frostburg area, chasing the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad on it's sojourns from Cumberland, MD to Frostburg, MD. We get to see Baldwin 2-8-0 #734 both in the rain and sunshine as it earns it's "Mountain Thunder" nickname on three separate trips. We also catch a bit of the "Murder Mystery Train" as well led by GP30 #502 with a short two-car consist on Saturday night. Enjoy this video, and don't forget to check out my other videos as well!!

Now that's the 734 i remember!, the B&O 6 was a good whistle but it wasn't a good match for the 734 like this whistle, superb video :)

@LRodgers1108 13 лет назад

Thank you for putting this video up! I am writing because i was that girl in the cab in the pink shirt going on the turntable haha wow

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

Ah ok I can remember remember watching one of my old train video's and she had the regular swinging bell and a Hancock 3 hahaha.

awesome video on this railroad with this steamer and diesel runs nice whstle and horn action too

@Spooler734 11 лет назад

We had an engineer a few years ago who did nothing but play with the whistle, drove myself and a lot of others nuts. I try and do it a bit more professionally, the whistle is a warning device, and some people don't want you to play them a song on it before they get hit haha.

@nssteampunk4865 5 лет назад

Was it Cody Cook? He left in September 2010 to be a CSX conductor right?

@Bigjimvideo 11 лет назад

It's even better in person!

@Bigjimvideo 11 лет назад

I've seen those videos - and I agree, it drove me nuts. Give me a normal whistle anyday...

Really love that steam boat whistle. Steam boats must have been really exciting to hear and watch. I was born too late. Mark Twain was 'Da Man'. Of course taking nothing away from Casey Jones. :>) This 'Rail Sounds' is better than the one from Lionel. I recorded it for the 'Polar Express' layout around the living room. Grand kids love it as it disappears under wife's piano and emerges through her 'Christmas Forest' with dozens of Caribou (Reindeer) from Hobby Lobby. Still looking for 'Wolves'.

@bigjim4life Yes I loved it! I'm from Central PA but I live on a Marine Base with my husband in Hawaii and I was home for a month long visit while my husband was deployed and my mom and her boyfriend have connections with the guys that operate the train so it was nice to be able to ride in the cab and learn how it works!

@Strasburg1991 13 лет назад

must be the IC whistle again!!! =)

@Bigjimvideo 11 лет назад

Yes, this used to be double-track territory - but now the other right of way is used for the trail.

@Bigjimvideo 12 лет назад

@indie1361 Thanks! Hopefully I'll get back there to get shots in HD...

@indie1361 12 лет назад

Great video!

@towandatrack114 11 лет назад

OMG such action, i mean the way it rounds that corner is orgasmic

@barronzm 13 лет назад

Good shots

@shayno11 13 лет назад

ah the sounds of a WM I-2 whistle!

@RubbleByte 4 года назад

Is that the same exact whistle the railway used when 734 made its debut on the WMSR in the early 90s?

@Bigjimvideo 3 года назад

Couldn't tell you - maybe someone else in the comments already mentioned it one way or the other?

@Bigjimvideo 13 лет назад

@LRodgers1108 I'm glad you like the video! Did you enjoy your trip? :)

@Blogengezer 12 лет назад

Excellent and very professional editing. No wasted time waiting for action and sounds. My RR sound for the Christmass 'Polar Express' layout is now Only featuring your work. Keep up the great vids. Thank You for your devotion and time. You beat Lionel and MTH by a long margin.

@mark10788 11 лет назад

The tender came off of NYC Mohawk #2662.

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

#734 is the largest operating consolidation in the US? now that i did not know haha I learn something new everyday xD

@microbusss 11 лет назад

at 7:10 - 7:54 Somone needs to correct the "crossing railroad" sign LOL Was this track Double Tracks once?

@JoshRyanScott 11 лет назад

That long haul tender just looks odd on the 734!

@AlvaroCC-qq3uz 3 года назад

That engine looks like Gordon from Thomas and Friends for me i don't know why :D

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

I agree, a Hancock on non-superheated steam sounds amazing, have you ever heard a IC Steamboat whistle on non-superheated steam before? that also sounds pretty amazing.

@nicholasmedovich6729 2 года назад

This the same whistle from 1114?? Amazing

@Bigjimvideo 2 года назад

Not sure, perhaps someone else knows....?

@Bigjimvideo 11 лет назад

Thanks a lot!

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

No I didn't actually, I always thought that tender was a bit big for a consolidation now I know why haha

@GooglFascists 11 лет назад

Much more authentic sounding whistle performances by the engineers than in other videos. Hopefully the boys running the engine got the word when they play with the whistle it makes the whole deal sound like "Dollywood".

@nssteampunk4865 5 лет назад

When they played with the whistle, it was more like Cass

@fuscoproductions 13 лет назад

The timing sounds painful. One twoTHREEFOUR... one two THREEFOUR. LOL

@atsfevan0242 4 года назад

What whistle is that on 734?

Dunno.

@otakurailfan 12 лет назад

that's a nice whistle 734 has on, is it an Illinois central whistle?

@RailfanDude610 6 лет назад

It sure is.

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

#734 was built in 1916 i believe for the old LS&I as number 34. And as far as I know she is not equipped with superheater tubes, but I could be wrong haha. And I agree that IC on the 3985 sounded really good

@jasonoliver8416 5 лет назад

She does have superheaters she is the same as the 33 at the age of steam round bouse

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

Well i'm glad they kept it instead of just scrapping it because not many of the LS&I tenders are around. I wonder if they have ever thought about making a auxiliary tender out of it.

@nssteampunk4865 8 лет назад

I rode in #734's cab in June 2013

@jasonoliver8416 5 лет назад

Good for you getting to ride in the cab

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

Very true, but even if this was the water level route with 734 and a Mohawk on parallel tracks running side by side the 734 would still go farther between water stops (without using the water pans and tender scoops for both locomotives tenders) because the boiler capacity is much smaller on a Consolidation than on a Mohawk and therefore she wouldn't have to use as much water when the water level in the 734's boiler got low.

@TMCCCab2 10 лет назад

Its to bad that 502 has been equipped with a GM 645 engine, wonder if there are any 567's lying around some where ready to be restored and reused?

@uratoolbag 13 лет назад

seems like it needs some valve timing.they would probably get more power out of it if they did.

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

your welcome :)

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

I thought she wore a Hancock 3 chime back in the 90's?

Someday. I Will Miss school Because I'm going To Frostburg To. See Western Maryland scenic Railroad Because. I Have Only Seen. On Steam Train!!!

@Bigjimvideo 12 лет назад

@LRodgers1108 I'm jealous! Wish I could do that...

@NickelPlateRoad779 11 лет назад

Haha well then. I didn't know she could go that far without stopping for water because I can remember reading about the Mohawk tenders huge coal bay and small water compartment inhibiting the Mohawks oval range between stops for water, but I guess that's not much of a problem when the locomotive the tender is connected to is considerably smaller than a Mohawk... And that's a shame they should at least cosmetically restore the old LS&I tender.
