Stll waiting

Me too.  Latest word...
"stopped just north of town" whatever that means.

Fj

Kinda funny, the guy in the suit looks like he's anxious to get back to work.

Well, that sure was anticlimactic.

That was great!

I suppose the 4 cars or whatever didn't help. Not as impressive when its coasting. Hey its out from under the shed, thats all that matters.

Thanks again Fj

Is that Mr. Claytors whistle?

Heres a better video( amazing how fast this stuff goes up)

Haven't gotten a good answer on the whistle. I don't think it's claytor's whistle, but I have been reading a lot about it and some people think it is a true J whistle.

This "different" Hancock whistle belongs to Scott Lindsay, and does indeed sound MUCH better than Ms. George's UP whistle that was in use last year, at least in my opinion.

What means that sign that was just leaned against the car?

Thanks Jack, I thought it sounded different, but not quite like the Claytor whistle.

Thanks HotWater. Do you know where this Hancock came from originally?

No, as that information was not provided. You might ask Scott when you are down there riding the train.

Ok thanks. IF I see him I will ask. I can't wait for April. Hoping to get tickets in June as well. Gotta ride when I can. 

RickO, thanks for the videos, especially the second one--much better than the first.

Yeah she sounds much better now.  Scott's sounds great.....

Yes, much better.  Reminds me more of Link's recordings.
