My favorite engine is 474 and it has nothing to do with which whistle it had. I became very good friends with a D&RGW engineer who ran 474 on the Crested Butte branch for years, he ran one of the K-28s at Salida the first time it went out (he could not remember which one).

Of the three that are left 476 is my favorite and this ride had a lot to do with it.
