I am doing everything in my power to save her...for I would LOVE to go back to work on her soon....as a matter of fact, the sooner the better for all involved! Thanks for your help. too! Everyone who sees this video, please take a moment and write to your elected Representatives and SAVE THE DELTA QUEEN! We CAN do this!
By: acoustics101. on 29 Oct 08, 17:57:46
Hopefully this sound won't simply fade into history like so many others like it, but remain for future generations to enjoy. I grew up around the Delta Queen for most of my 58 years and would really hate to see her go.

Honestly, I'm so glad that someone out there still remembers the old steam piano.

If she can no longer take overnight passengers, what will become of the Queen? She is a historical landmark, they can't scrap her - can they?

You definately have that right, because I did some research and Majestic America covered the wood with steel to make the DQ even safer than she already was.
By: riverexplorer. on 02 Mar 08, 22:48:46
We are working really hard to make sure that doesn't happen. It is too bad the factions who want her gone are not paying attention to all the owners have done to make the passengers safe, for she is truly safer than any public building in America and this whole thing is just a horrid misunderstanding and political power stand off!
By: TVRM610. on 02 Mar 08, 22:12:55
It will be super sad when she's gone.

Exemplary! Stupendous! Colossal! Sublime! Absolutely the truth: Steam has never before been applied to a higher use than to move minds and emotions as this visible vapor rises, Forever!
By: mrweberandme. on 30 Nov 07, 23:03:18
Hi, Nice video! I've been fascinated by the steam whistles and sweet voice of the calliope since I'm 3 years old! (I'm 32 now.) I love mechanical organs and pipe organs as well. I used build organs and used to be an organist. Tootles, Amy
By: robertgift. on 21 Sep 07, 05:32:49
How fun. And surprisingly well in tune for a calliope. Why is the sound so far off the video? Especially matters here when you can see the pipes steam.

very nice
By: sapphiresolstice. on 06 Jul 07, 16:17:03
we used to have a steam boat, but it was a resurant just docked, but we had to sell it because it was to expensive to eat at! the committie deservs to be shot for buying somthing just to turn into a desaaster! my dad works at kumatsu in peoria and they had to come down to help build it and he welded the huge grill together and the smoke stacks.
By: acoustics101. on 30 May 07, 14:28:58
I've heard this calliope many times. I've always had a fascination for steam whistles and high power acoustical instruments.

Jazzou- I'm thrilled with the calliope videos. What a treat. I've been playing you new CDs frequently. Peggy Lessing
