U guys should do another video like this but during the Joliet rocket runs

What whistle is on 765

@@npk765fan normally nathen 6 chime In this video Hancock 3 chime from ny&stl 576

Sounds like it has the Wabash whistle on it.

Frisco1522 info is in the description.

where they gonna run it

Look for volunteer opportunities nearby! Where do you live?

@@michaelhubble Just outside Charlotte North Carolina

@@vettebecker1 I'm a volunteer coordinator at a growing operation in Folsom, CA and I gotta tell you, I never imagined that I would have the opportunities that I currently have. These museums will train you and you can work your way up as part of operations crews if you express interest and take the time to learn.

vettebecker1 Spencer’s Transportation Museum is a great place to start!

I want to see 765 triplehead with 1225 and 2716.

We need the number of his dry cleaner!

Yes, but operating it interferes with our on board event recorder, so this whistle is mounted on the main whistle valve port.

@@fortwaynerailroad Could y'all possibly use it as the fireman's whistle like back in the 80s, 90's? Or would it still interfere with the event recorder?

The handle hanging down is the throttle the one beside is the reverser it also controls where in the stroke the steam admission is cut of saving use of steam and easing horsepower robbing backpressure as the steam is exhausted out the used side with each stroke

@@manga12 Thanks, but I'm having trouble following some of that. Please use periods. I can't figure out where one sentence stops and the next one starts.

i think you are referring to the sander valve. is the valve in question a short brass vertical lever? if so, that is the sander. a hint is at 29:15, as soon as he notices that the locomotives wheels are slipping, he jams that valve forward (probably corresponding to the front sanders) before then closing the throttle. Edit: just in case you are referring to the valve he was twisting open and closed, I will say that I am not sure. I looked, but could not find materiel that explained what that was. Considering what I saw in the images I found, it could have been something to do with the gauges he had in front of him, or it could very well be the bell's air valve. in fact, it may actually be the bell, as he would be turning on the bell at every crossing they went through, and turning it off after passing through the crossing. Also a note: 765's bell is not exactly audible at all throughout the video, with all of the noise in the cab.

We offer a Throttle Time session just about each time we're at the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad which is a good way to get familiar, but in most places you need to be a student engineer and serve over 100 hours before you can become certified.

The Nevada Northern Railway in Ely offers a Be The Engineer program

Ohio.

To keep them from climbing on the drivers of the locomotive.

@@fortwaynerailroad Oh I see. Thank you for the reply!

@@fortwaynerailroad Does he have to do it more frequently depending if the rails are slick/wet? Just curious.

Wondered that myself, he's not dragging them with a set. I know for some guys, it's like a nervous twitch.

Early on, you can hear the off-camera engineer telling him to bail off every 15 seconds or so.

You'd be surprised how much you can tune out and concentrate on what you're doing.

Wheel slip, there were wet leaves on the rail and the drive wheel lost traction. You have to close the throttle as quickly as possible to avoid damage to the running gear. Then you open it back up to return to power. Same thing happens on diesel locomotives.

@@jasonjohnson7746 Awesome thanks! Don't know as much as I'd like to about steam.

The “independent” brake on the engine will creep “on” over time, so he has to make sure it’s released. You can hear the other engineer (off camera) tell him that he should “bail off” every 15 seconds or so.

@Maxwell DiNovo lmao it takes so much planning and they have 2102 almost operational they have no need for 765 to vist

the lights above the speedometer give light when operating at night, so the engineer can see the speedometer, etc. and what do you mean by devices?

No no no not the illumination lights I meant the small green lights above the speedometer

@@adamtain7627 i'm not sure, it could be part of the event recorder.
