John ThePiper It sounds just like the one you hear in old movies.

The whistle sounds similar to Black river railroad 110

I rode the first segment LA to Barstow and then photographed the return. Almost thirty-one years ago now -hard to believe. Santa Fe was still Santa Fe and BNSF would be in the future. How appropriate that Santa Fe selected the two big war-bonneted cowl units as the helpers - as close as anything they had left from passenger service when it ended in 1971. Those are museum pieces now.

NOTHING beats a Sante Fe 6 Chime!

@drby0788 That's a short bell five chime. The 3751's were built with these primarily freight whistles in 1927 and they apparently were never changed out. Quite a sound (like an angry ghost!) and the engineer on most of the vid really knew how to quill it.

My favorite steam engine!!! Beautiful video.

Ahhh! Those classic searchlight block signals!!!

That’s very big locomotive 🚂

Fantastic! Long Live 3751 “Chooch & Keep the water boiling.”

Hmm, 3751’s whistle sounds like C&TS 497’s whistle in a July 2002 video I’ve seen on KZread

Sounds like D&SNG 482’s whistle from 2009 that she wore also!

Technically this wasn't 3751 first run since retirement and her first run was back in August 1991 this is really 3751's first excursion that happened 28 years ago wow

I love the old steam engines. I would love to see this engine in Nebraska some time. It could travel around on the BNSF system.

Awesome job

Was the whistle a Reading 6 Chime here or was it a horribly dischordant ATSF 6 Chime?

It's a Santa Fe 5 chime whistle she wore before they replaced it with the current Santa Fe 6 chime

Epic.

Widescreen before widescreen was cool.

Do you have footage or pictures of 3751 in 1995 and 1996?

2:05; ATSF #3751's 5 chime

I'm surprised her first run I mean excursion was in December 1991

I was there in caliente when it went down and went back up. I think I was 12. There's a video of it somewhere on VHS that my grandfather took. nowadays it seems like they just push her and she has enough steam for a whistle

Nice!

I like the horn I do not hate it but the horn sounds like a tornado siren
