In early October, 2023, we decided to take a trip up to the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation for their annual whistle blow. This year had over 60 different whistles that we all got to hear on steam. Some sound better than others, but most importantly, everyone was able to have a good time if they decided to come.

Since this is a really long video, I will make timestamps for everyone. That way if you want to jump to a particular manifold, you can easily do that:

1:17 Manifold 1
17:15 Manifold 2
34:28 Manifold 3
52:29 Manifold 4
1:11:00 Manifold 5
1:23:12 Manifold 6
1:37:29 Manifold 7
