I like to hear a "Hooter" once in a while....different than the regular "chime" whistles.....Sure is distinctive nowadays anyway.

When I was a kid in high school in Fort Collins, one of the C&S
900's (huge 2-10-2's), showed up with a "hooter" on it...Really was sort of humorous....I think it was the 902....Here is this huge engine working a heavy freight southward up Mason Street, and "hooting" for each street crossing for 15or 20 blocks.....
I got a real kick out of it....wish I'd had a way to record it
at the time.
