The sound of a steam locomotive going fast is a sound not heard in this country today. This short clip, produced by steamtrainvideos.com, captures this dramatic sound very well.

This 70 mph clip opens with the whistle sounding in the distance. When the whistle stops, there are several seconds where the extremely fast pace of the exhaust can be heard before the whistle sounds again. Truly amazing! But this is what the NKP Berks were designed to do . . . run fast with a heavy train.

Too bad that guy didn't set up his camera where there were no grade crossings, in order to REALLY hear that Lima Super Power exhaust (with the famous Baker valve gear 'Lima Gait').
