Canadian National 89: Powering the Half-hour Train

On a breezy Autumn afternoon, the Strasburg Railroad operated their very own Canadian National 89, a 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive. Departing on the half hour in between the railroad's regularly scheduled hourly trips, the modest locomotive made light work of the 4 car train. The whistle on 89 is a Pennsylvania Railroad 3 Chime.

Canadian National 89 is a 2-6-0 Mogul, classified as an E-10-a by the CN. She was built in February 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company for the Grand Trunk Railway as number 1009 and by 1919 it was renumbered to 911. In 1923, the Grand Trunk was merged into part of the Canadian National Railway (CN) with 911 being one of many locomotives involved in the merger. In 1951, 911 was renumbered to 89. In 1965, she was sold to the Green Mountain Railroad and was then sold in 1972 to the Strasburg Railroad, where she operates today.

There are times when I miss number 89 wearing her CN 4 chime whistle that she had from 1991 to 2010. In my opinion, 4 chime whistles are rare in the United States probably the most common of notes are 3 chime, 5 chime and 6 chime if 4 chime whistles are common, correct me if I’m wrong
