Pere Marquette 1225 Whistle Compilation

The 1225 has a great whistle.

I for one love that whistle with all my heart!!

[thetrueamerican]

My favorite whistle in the world on my favorite engine in the world... I LOVE HER

[mikeytrains]

0:33 has to be my absolute favorite clip of the whole video.

This whistle is the same whistle she used during the Pere Marquette service days, although it's likely not the whistle she first had after delivery. Whistles were often swapped during shoppings.

Love these old iron horses and the whistle sound, I sure miss boxcar willie !

...And now it's ruined as of the end of the 2016 season. Also I managed to find out what the whistle is, it's a Lima 5 chime that was at the time of this video cracked in one or two places. Getting close to 700 man!

[JAILRail]

For anyone asking, the whistle is a Nathan 6 chime.

0:16 the train it's here the radiator shaking oh my goodness the room is falling apart
Polar Express: woo

[damiensarmoury]

its to bad they did not use the whistle from the movie which is a sierra rr no 3 whistle but still a very beautiful
train with a matching whistle

[CSXT]

I don't see why they didn't go with the prototype model for the train, the prototype model was the one in The Polar Express

[depleteduranium]

that sweet sound reminds me of the polar expreas.

Anyone else think 611’s whistle goes better with 1225 than her normal one or the one in the PE movie? She’s a big engine, so I like the deeper, richer tone of 611’s whistle for her. I think it fits her better.

[nicholasmedovich]

She always had the 5 chime which sounded way harsher but more fitting

[Froggyman]

Ah, 1225 doing what she was built to do

Work, and look fine as Hell doing it.

[thekinglkatana]

Some people don't even know that that was the same type of whistle that New York Central Hudson had

[Gentlegiantjack]

0:04 just so you don't wanna wait

🎵”It’s a magic carpet on a rail, never takes a rest, ”
“Flying through the mountains and the snow!”
“Ride for free and join the fun, if you just say yes, ”
“‘Cause that’s the way things happen on the Polar Express!”🎵

[Jaidyn]
