I wouldn't want that Chris, all I was commenting on was blowing the whistle loudly when leaving town. I'm not a fan of crews being hard on equipment and not taking care while at the throttle. I know a few engineers from the D&S from the 80's and they would tell me stories of some of the engine crews who were not so nice to the equipment back then. Not a fan of that kind of behavior.
