Whistle Blows, People Hit The Ground

UP 844 in Glenn’s Ferry, April 2017

I just remembered I had this video and decided I should share it with you all 🤣

Let's be honest guys, do you really think that hearing something that's more than 100 Decibels out of nowhere and that thing sounds like roaring of a monster wouldn't scare you?

You know the cab crew was laughing their ass off when they saw them hit the deck

When I was in the military I was walking behind a row of M1 tanks when they began firing during a live fire exercise. The shock wave was incredible. The ground jumped. It knocked me off my feet. It blasted my ear drums. I’ve had tinnitus ever since.

Truly a sound from a different generation... I absolutely loved it!!!
I love to hear those old steam whistles way out in the me back years.... thanks for the memories!!!

So I’m not gonna lie, this is just some old footage I had on my phone from our chase in 2017. I’m glad everyone is getting a good laugh out of it! I don’t post a whole lot on my channel so none of this is monetized. Your free to use this in meme content or whatever as long as you put somewhere that you got it from me 😊

“People hit the ground” = “One kid dramatically fell to his knees”

[tonymagona]

Reminds me of a video of a small kid trying to signal a container ship to blow its horn, and when the ship does she runs off camera like her life depends on it 😂

They couldn't handle the raw power of the cry of the steam locomotive

[PhoenixRising]

Had that been 4014 they would've lost total control of their bodily functions! 😆😆😆

[BentleyTypeR]

These trains are true works of art!! Glad ygere are people out there that care for them

[ChildofTheLivingGod-vkmm]

That's a huge locomotive! I miss hearing trains at night out in the countryside. Haunting but a era gone by.

[vaishnav.rathod]

As a deaf person, I see this as an absolute win.

[thehighiron]

Those kids had the funniest reactions I’ve ever seen 😂😂

[galaxykinggamer]

That’s the most beautiful whistle I’ve heard all year!

When i saw 4014 when the whistle blew, everyone dove like there were under attack.

When running my fathers small Russell steam tractor the pressure relief valve would kick in at 100 PSI and vent for a few seconds (yes I know the video is a whistle not a relief valve).
HUGE cloud of steam, harmless a few feet away (of course right next to it you can getting scalded) but the crowds were always far enough away.
I'd let the pressure creep up and let the valve open and people would scatter thinking it blew up - never got old.

With clean flues and a good hot fire with good wood we could build pressure while running the thresher, fun times and I miss it so.
Had NO IDEA how special and lucky I was to have those experiences as a kid.

You know I have to say that the tune of the whistles on 4014 and 844 like this keep changing all the time

[christopherestes]

lmfao 0:03 homie in grey/blue sweater found out that is NOT Thomas the Train...

[harrisonmcarthur]

Same thing happened to me once when I was a little kid. My ears were ringing for hours afterwards.

[railfanproductions]

that has to be the most goofy ah reaction to a steam whistle I've ever seen
